Derrickdurant@duranthomeimprovement.com Derrick and his crew were punctual, professional and did an outstanding job. They installed the microwave shelf, fixed the opening in the wall, repaired and repainted the ceiling. Everything was completed before my guests arrived for dinner. Very satisfied customer.

Mr. Durant did an incredible job fixing our wiring issue. He arrived exactly on time, was highly professional, and took the time to explain the repair process clearly. He kept the workspace clean and charged exactly what was quoted. I will absolutely use him again and highly recommend his services!

Highly recommend Derrick for any home project!
I recently hired Derrick to handle both a shower door installation and bathroom painting, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From start to finish, he was professional, personable, and clearly took pride in his work — the results speak for themselves.
What really stood out was his thoughtfulness going into the project. Knowing I had a few additional updates planned for the space down the road, he intentionally held off on installing the hardware so I could pick up right where he left off without any extra hassle. That kind of consideration for a client’s bigger picture isn’t something you come across every day.
If you’re looking for someone who does quality work and actually listens to what you need, Derrick is your guy. Will absolutely be calling him again!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is fair and transparent. Each estimate includes labor, materials (if provided by me), and cleanup. I don’t charge hidden fees, and all costs are clearly outlined before work begins. For larger projects, payment schedules are flexible, and I occasionally offer discounts for repeat clients or bundled services.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with a conversation to understand your vision and needs. From there, I provide a detailed written estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Once approved, I schedule the work, keep you updated throughout the project, and finish with a walkthrough to make sure you’re fully satisfied.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m a licensed contractor in Maryland with years of hands-on experience in home improvement. Beyond licensing requirements, I’ve trained in carpentry, HVAC basics, and general construction methods to ensure every project meets professional standards and local codes.
