About
For over 20 years, I've managed and maintained our investment rental properties. What this means is that I am not just a landlord, but I've been a plumber, electrician, window and door installer and also a framer and finish carpentry professional. Basically, I've done it all. Due to a recent change, I'm now taking on additional work for others as well.
So whether you need a door changed out, a room repainted, or an entire remodel completed, I'd love to help make that happen as seamlessly as possible. Check out my projects to see some of the work I've done.

I hired Derrek for a bunch of different cosmetic fixes around my house. He caulked, sanded, secured trim, repaired drywall, and painted. He was very responsive and accommodating to my schedule. He does great quality work and kept me informed throughout the entire job. I highly recommend him for any handyman repairs around your house.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to be very fair with my pricing. In most all cases I provide up front pricing of the project, unless there are many unknowns. and even then, I will work with you to help understand the costs along the way.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first want to talk with you to find out exactly what it is that you are looking for and then agree to next steps. in each step of the process, I believe clear and concise communications are essential. I never want to leave you wondering what is going on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Years of maintaining and updating residential properties.
