Working with Nick and his team was great. They explained the work they were going to do thoroughly along with pricing and giving options for size and materials to use. Always gave a heads up when they were on their way. My dogs are enjoying being able to run free! Highly recommend for your fencing needs!

The most respectful and professional group of guys. From the initial estimate and planning the way through the final day, their communication was absolutely wonderful. They even sent weekly updates so I always knew where our job was on the list, which I really appreciated.They did a fantastic job on our fence and left everything looking clean-no mess at all! I asked them to get the fence as close to the ground as possible because my daughter has a small dog, and I didn't want to worry about her trying to squeeze underneath. They listened to my concern and worked hard to make sure it was just right.I couldn't be happier with the finished fence! They truly went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and people who genuinely care about their customers. Wonderful job! ❤️

Perfect Picket was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The whole process was very easy and the fence is very high quality. Nick came and gave us multiple options to fit our space. Once we decided what worked best for us he sent us the amount and got the instillation scheduled. A short time after a crew came and installed the entire fence in a day. Super easy and hassle free. I would absolutely recommend Perfect Picket to anyone needing a fence.

I can't emphasize enough what great customer service we received from Nick and his team at Perfect Picket Fence and Stain.We installed an unfinished cedar cap and trim fence around our entire backyard. It is so wonderful to step into the backyard and have complete privacy while I'm gardening or drinking my morning tea. Then, you add the wonderful scent of the natural cedar...pure bliss!So, not only are we happy with the finished result, but we are amazed at the care and consideration given to us when an issue came up months after the installation. Our landscaper accidentally bumped and cracked one of the facing boards. I sent a text/photo to Nick explaining the situation. He responded promptly, stating he would be happy to replace it at no charge! Say what?!!This is the best of the best companies for customer service, bar none!If you are on the fence, (pun intended😊), about which company to choose for your fence installation, look no further. You've found the best in Perfect Picket Fence and Stain!Thank you Nick! You are SO appreciated!

Nick and his crew did an exceptional job. They had the task of replacing a fence that was only in for 2 years but was nothing but trouble! They were good enough to save and separate the existing fence so we could let someone else use the good pieces. It was much appreciated. Nick’s fence materials were so much sturdier than what we had. They were installed in a way that we have no doubt that it will last for many years. All crew members were very respectful and friendly. It was an overall great experience. I would highly recommend Perfect Picket for your next fence installation.

Overall great experience! Nick communicated well through the whole process, helped me understand every possible way the fence could be done, and didn’t push me in decision making. Alex and Jason did a great job building the fence and were really efficient. From quote to build, the process only took 13 days. All were super friendly and professional. Would 100% do business with Perfect Picket again!

I had the opportunity to connect with Nick while getting quotes for a fencing project, and I was genuinely impressed.He was extremely professional, transparent, and clearly takes a lot of pride in doing things the right way. What stood out most was his integrity. He gave a fair, straightforward quote right from the start and took the time to explain everything transparently. It was obvious he was equally interested in meeting goals, expectations, and building a relationship as he was the actual work itself. He took videos explaining goals and the project, and saves them for reference.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for fencing work.

They were excellent to work with, they exceeded expectations. I got a beautifully designed Cedar Fence, with 2 black functioning gates and sealed off another area with black chain link fence.I told them what I wanted and they delivered, which was being able to keep pets contained without having to rig something up like I did in the past.They tore out the old fence and did all that work in a day and a half. They showed up organized and kept the job site organized and safe.

This garden fence exceeded all our expectations. The materials feel high-quality, durable, and reinforced to last throughout all seasons for years to come.It adds a beautiful, polished look to our yard while still feeling natural and unobtrusive. It provides great privacy and security, but still allows the garden to feel open and welcoming. Installation was well communicated, straightforward, and timely. Overall, this fence has completely elevated the look of our garden. We couldn’t be happier with the purchase and service from Perfect Picket Fence and Stain. We would highly recommend them!

Perfect Picket Fence completed exceptional work in installing our privacy fence along with a new entrance gate to our backyard. They were on time, efficient, and the work product has a great appearance from both sides. They left the worksite picked up with zero mess. I would highly recommend their services.
Thomas Davis

Perfect Picket Fence and Stain built an extraordinary fence for us. The entire process was one of the most positive customer experiences I’ve ever had. The fence is of the highest quality. The crew was extraordinary in their work, leaving the worksite clean. The crew was generous in their interactions with us. They treated our annoyingly friendly dog kindly. When I sought modifications “on the fly,” they accommodated us completely and happily. We are bombarded with neighbors’ comments like “what a great fence,” and “that fence is so distinctive.”
