What Our Clients Are Saying

Perfect Picket Fence and StainPerfect Picket Fence and Stain5.0★★★★★ Based on 33 reviews fromSee all reviewsChristina CarpenterChristina Carpenter ★★★★★ Nick was prompt delivering our quote and very professional. Nothing but positive things to say! Highly recommend.Rachel BensonRachel Benson ★★★★★ Nick & his team were great to work with! Very responsive, upfront about expectations/pricing and eager to get our job done as quickly as possible.Kelsey BourbeauKelsey Bourbeau ★★★★★ We cannot praise Perfect Picket, led by the meticulous owner Nick, enough for their exceptional service. From the moment we had our consultation, it was evident that Nick truly understood and paid attention to our specific needs, delivering exactly what we envisioned - no more, no less.The level of detail and quality in their work is outstanding. The installation team was efficient and skilled, and even our neighbors have complimented how great our fence looks. Nick’s keen eye for perfection shone through during the entire process. There were instances where he spotted imperfections that I would have missed, and he made sure to address them promptly.Our (massive) dog is over the moon with the new fence, and we share the sentiment. The project was completed in record time, from the initial quote to the final install. Nick takes the time to truly understand his customers and their unique requirements. We had consulted with a few other companies, but none were as detail-oriented as Nick. He thoroughly explained every aspect and ensured the highest possible quality.Nick lives by the motto “can we do better?” and he and his team certainly do. They strive for excellence, making sure every detail is perfected. Nick is an outstanding business owner who goes above and beyond to provide exactly what his customers need. As an example, the manufacturer was out of a necessary part to complete the installation— Nick had a makeshift solution and visited our house on separate occasions to ensure that the short-term solution was up-to-par. He also individualized a video for us that allowed us to better understand how to work our gates.We’re beyond thrilled with Perfect Picket and would recommend them in a heartbeat!Brian HigginsBrian Higgins ★★★★★ Nick and his crew demonstrated a level of professionalism and attention to detail that you just don't find in the contracting world. The work he did was as described at a fair price and he was excellent with his communication. A real pleasant experience and I would not hesitate to recommend Perfect Picket.ray schaeferray schaefer ★★★★★ This guy knows how to build a fence. Did a great job would highly recommend. Did a perfect job.Jil MinikusJil Minikus ★★★★★ Nick is awesome! He brought samples of stain colors to choose from and explained everything what he had to do and what he was using and why. He cleaned and prepped the fence and stained it for me. He is very reasonable on his price! I definitely will refer his business to others, which I have already doneMolly DoranMolly Doran ★★★★★ We had a great experience with our fence install. After the install, our dog found a way to sneak out through the cracks, and Nick came out less than 48 hours later to make some adjustments. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. I would hire Nick again in a heartbeat.

Each step of the process was very professional and high quality. Communication was excellent. The most important thing was the attention to detail provided. We are very particular about the quality of the finished product and Perfect Picket did not disappoint!Laurie TragerLaurie Trager ★★★★★ From day one Nick was passionate about what he did and quite knowledgeable. Nick was very upfront and explained the whole process and why the steps needed to be taken. Nick was very concerned about my satisfaction and approval of the end result. Very impressed with Perfect Picket. I would have no doubts referring this company to anyone. Thanks Perfect Picket, I'm totally blown away with my new fence.Katie FranzenKatie Franzen ★★★★★ We reached out to Nick and Perfect Picket a few weeks before closing on our new home. Nick set himself apart immediately in our first meeting from several other "big name" companies we met with. He called a few hours after we submitted an online inquiry. We were able to meet later that day onsite and we were blown away by his attention to detail, his explanation of his process, and his willingness to meet our needs for the fence we wanted. Nick took the time to investigate a complicated easement and utility alley and explain our options so our fence could still best meet our needs. No other fence installer bothered to take the time or care to help us navigate this obstacle. We went with a six-foot black chain link fence and will be adding a privacy screen in the spring. We are more than happy with the fence because Nick put our mind at ease and kept us updated throughout the process with every detail no matter how small. We would, without hesitation, recommend Nick and his team over any other company in the area.Echo CaytonEcho Cayton ★★★★★ Perfect Picket Fence was awesome! Nick is great to work with, very detailed and answered all my questions. Quick and easy quote on the spot, and got us scheduled much sooner than I thought would happen. Project(chain link) took barely two days, and the fence looks perfect! He updated us frequently and took time to explain any minor changes. Wonderful customer service and communication. Highly recommend!Bart SchipperBart Schipper ★★★★★ It was a great experience. Quality work, great communication. Happy with the finished product. If you need a new fence, give them a call, you will not be disappointed.Elke Simmer GerdesElke Simmer Gerdes ★★★★★ Thank you Perfect Picket for the quick install and mailbox suggestion. It’s well perfect. Professional with great communication on even the smallest of job. Looking forward to using Nick and his team in the future and recommending them to others!Zach FischelsZach Fischels ★★★★★ Perfect Picket exceeded our expectations! Working with Perfect Picket, I can tell Nick and his team care deeply about their customers, the fences they build, and the experience they provide. The initial proposal was more in-depth, thoughtful, and helpful than what I received from any other company I got estimates from. Even my HOA commented on the proposal as being the best they had ever seen! Before and throughout the build, the level of communication from Nick was excellent. I could tell that quality was top of mind for him the entire way. We are very satisfied with the final product and would recommend Perfect Picket to anyone looking for a high quality, yet competitively priced fencing solution!Sheri NolteSheri Nolte ★★★★★ Excellent job building my high quality wooden privacy fence exactly how I wanted it. It is perfect and I love it!
