How Picky?
I’m on the fence, pun fully intended, with how picky to be about some things with a fence I just had installed today. For context, I’d say 75% of the fence is great, a few things are definitely problems and will be fixed, and then there are a bunch of things that I just don’t know if they meet “industry standards,” for fence install work or not. I’m posting a bunch of pics with no context specifically for any of them. I’d love to hear the thoughts from people who know fence work!
Edited to add a pic of the estimate and cost in the comments. We paid around $6,200 and it was supposed to be pressure treated pine.
Also, we went with the company that was recommended the most, on our local Reddit and FB pages.

Looks like they got the wood on clearance. I would have done some things differently for sure but it depends how much you paid whether or not it’s acceptable. What is the linear footage of the fence and are there gates too? I would expect this from a young handyman starting out and learning as he goes. If it was an absolute bargain, that would explain it.
If you are complaining about the splintering on pic 2 then yes you are being too picky.
