Derek did an excellent job with replacing a damaged portion of my garage siding. Since the exact replacement was not available, he created matching siding manually. The finished work looks great. Derek was prompt and efficient in providing a quote, scheduling the work, and communicated thoroughly throughout the project.

Derek showed up to give me an estimate and was actually able to do the work on the spot and very quickly. Great communication and flexibility. Very honest and reasonable pricing. Will definitely hire him again for future jobs.
