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.

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!

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!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️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!!

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!

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.

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.

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!!
