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!

Nick and his crew were absolutely great to work with from the estimation to the completion of our fence. They even chased a dog down the road that they thought was ours (which it wasnt). That's going above and beyond! Great people, HIGHLY recommended!!

I contacted Nick for a quote but was uncertain about the fence style I wanted. When Nick arrived, he introduced a new style he was developing, and we decided to go with it immediately. We had two sections that just needed closed off with neighbors fence, Nick suggested just using chain link to tie into theirs.We scheduled the work for the following year and have been delighted with it since last spring. Although we encountered some issues with the new style, Nick stood by his work and personally came to address them. I highly recommend Nick and his team for anyone seeking a fence. Thank you! We have received many compliments on the fence!

They were great. They came and worked in very cold conditions to put up my chain link fence that I needed for my American Eskimo dog. It looks wonderful and my dog is happy to have a place to run free without getting lost. They really did a great job .

I am so glad that I called Perfect Picket first. I needed a falling apart wooden fence replaced. Nick was very friendly and efficient. I got exactly the fence I needed in a timely manner. The crew who put up the fence were great. They checked in a few times to explain what they were doing and in the end to make sure that I was completely satisfied. They hauled away the old fence as part of the deal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️I had a black chain link fence installed and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From start to finish, the team was professional and easy to work with—no pressure at all during the estimate, which I really appreciated. The installation was quick, clean, and done right the first time. The fence looks great and adds a nice touch to the yard. Highly recommend!!

Update 5/3/2026 Nick, Jason, Alex, and Ryder all did an excellent job putting in a Garden Fence as well as a Trellis to hang our bird feeders and plants from. From start to finish the work was performed as expected and the communication was excellent. Thanks Perfect Picket!We had a few challenging aspects to consider when planning for the fence we wanted to have installed. Nick was very knowledgeable and offered several solutions to fit our needs and completed the project exceeding our expectations. The smarter half and I are more than willing to offer a recommendation!

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!
