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.

Hired on Thumbtack

Derek asked me to call him to set up an appointment which I did. I rearranged my schedule so I could meet him at his arranged time. When he didn’t show up I called him and he nonchalantly said he couldn’t make it and forgot to call. I found his lack of respecting other people’s time, but especially not having the courtesy to call and give a heads up a deal breaker. If this is his best foot forward before being hired…yikes. I gave him 2 stars because he did answer the phone.
