I reached out for a door repair person on a Thursday. Derrick responded right away. He was polite and courteous, answered all my questions. I was in need of a new crawl space door and, after seeing the photos I sent him, we decided on what supplies were needed and the following Saturday we met at my nearby Home Depot to buy them, then continued to my home for the project. He had all his equipment and set about constructing the door. We met at HD at 12:15 and by 4:45 he was done and I had a new crawlspace door! He was very efficient, very knowledgeable and I am very pleased. I will definitely use him again. Thanks!

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I'm quite fond of the metal sheet storage box I made for work. It's the black one in my pictures. Took about a week because I kept having to pause my project to help out in other areas, but I am proud of how sturdy it is.
