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.

Everyone at Perfect Picket is awesome, Nick helped explain the pros and cons for what we wanted to do and gave us some ideas to think about. No pressure from him. The crew that came out to install the fence were very professional & knowledgeable. They even put up with asking questions about the way things were done. Awesome group of people. Looking forward to next year when I have them come out and do phase two of my project.

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!

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.

Every step of the process with Perfect Picket was an enjoyable experience. They came down and gave me a consultation and price quote on the same day I called. From there, everything was done with great communication and transparency as they let us know weekly when the project would begin and what it would look like. Nick called and gave us a notice one week in advance of when they would start the project. They completed the project in one day and made sure we were completely satisfied before leaving. I would highly recommend Perfect Picket and Stain for all of your fencing needs!

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.

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.

This review is long overdue. Nick was super easy to work with throughout the entire process. The western red cedar fence looks fantastic. There were a couple small issues after inspecting the fence, and Nick chose to come out and finish everything up and make sure it was perfect even though it was Thanksgiving Day. He went above and beyond our expectations and I would highly recommend him and his crew!

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!
