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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Perfect Picket helped me to create good solutions for my unique fencing needs. They had excellent communication throughout the process: weekly email updates, text messages and in person during the installation phase. The fences look beautiful and the doors operate smoothly! Thank you Nick, Jason and the crew!

A huge THANK YOU to Nick and his crew for putting up an amazing fence!!

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.

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!

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!

Nicholas was great to work with from the very beginning! Very professional and personable, and he explained every step of the process and answered all questions we had. His team installed our black vinyl-coated chain-link fence in just over 3 hrs. The quality of work was definitely worth the investment and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! We would definitely recommend Perfect Picket Fence and Stain to all of our friends and family. Our dog, Birdie, is living her best life!!!

We worked with Perfect Picket this fall for 2 of our fence projects. There was an extensive consultation with what we hoped to get, what we thought might work, and what would actually work. They were honest about what wouldn't work, discussing issues we never even thought about; even though this might have lost them business. I had 2 other companies consult on these projects and they only took measurements and gave a quote estimate. Once scheduled, there was consistent communication on materials and timelines. Once the work started, it was very quick and efficient. We are very happy with the final project.

Nicholas and his team were fantastic from the first phone call. I felt incredibly informed from start to finish - from a video walkthrough of the estimate through to final installation. It was great to be kept in the loop on the whole process. The work was professional, thorough, and tidy. Would definitely recommend Nicholas and his team!
