Derek was punctual, communicative, offered the best price, did amazing work, cleaned up after himself, and was easy to talk to. I will totally be using him for any other handyman services I need around my place!

This was my first time hiring someone who hadn't been referred by a friend or family member, so I was a bit leery. But my previous handyman moved out of state, and I needed someone to hang some artwork for me. Derek had great reviews, so I contacted him first. He responded right away, quoted me a fair price, and was able to come out immediately. He was punctual, prepared, and efficient. He is also personable, pleasant, and respectful. Clearly, he's very bright and knows exactly what he's doing. He hung several pieces for me, one of which was a heavy, awkward, vintage metal installation. What I thought would be a more complicated task was a breeze for him, and the piece is now securely and safely anchored to my wall. His work quality is great, and he's organized and tidy. I highly recommend Derek for any of your home (or office) projects! I'll certainly be using him again!!

We hired Derek to fill in a hole in the wall at our son's house as part of a wedding present. He was professional and timely. He came when he said he was and we are very happy with his work. He also was respectful to speak with me about $$$, but our future daughter-in-law regarding timing. We would highly recommend Derek for anyone looking for a well rounded handyman!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My pricing is always up-front. I understand pricing and trust have a direct reflection on how my business will grow and succeed, therefore I try and ask as many questions as I need in order to get a clear understanding of what the job will entail and price accordingly.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Typically when working with a new customer, as well as repeat customers, I try and reach out after my initial quote is sent and viewed. On hired jobs I like to reach out to the customer and let them know when I am on the way for our scheduled time frame. I always try and arrive on time, because I understand it is important to make a great first impression.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have worked with several customers at this point. I am a people person and I enjoy getting to know folks I meet everyday, it makes the job complete and at the same time builds a stronger customer base. Some customers are a little more demanding than others but my number one goal is to make sure all are pleased, whether it be pricing or timing of project completion!
