Derek takes small jobs through Thumbtack, where he holds a 5.0-star average across 171 ratings. Thumbtack lists him as a Top Pro for 2017 and 2018 and as background checked. A 2017 customer said Derek removed an old bathtub that had to be broken up with a sledgehammer, and also shut off the plumbing to the tub. A 2017 customer said he installed a new dryer vent hose after the appliance install crew said they couldn't do it, and moved the appointment earlier when he had an unexpected opening. A 2018 customer said he installed a microwave oven and was on time. A 2017 customer said Derek put two Nordictrack machines together in under 2 hours and left the area clean. A 2022 customer said he came the same day and hung several decor pieces. A 2024 customer said he put together a 7-piece patio set, including a firepit table, and a stand-alone outdoor porch heater.
Derek put together a 7 piece patio set, including a firepit table, and a stand alone outdoor porch heater. He did an incredible job, worked independently and was neat and organized. I will definitely request his assistance with future jobs. Thank you, Derek!!
Derek responded quickly to my request and was able to come on the same day. Derek is punctual and very pleasant. He hung several decor pieces for me. Everything was measured and balanced perfectly! I absolutely love it! I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him for any other future project. Thank you so much Derek!
Derek installed a microwave oven for me. He was very professional and on time. I already have him in mind for a couple other projects I’d like to get done. He’s definitely someone you would hire again!
Derek removed an old tv that was too heavy for us plus we didn't know where or how to dispose of it. He is professional and courteous. He didn't do "work" for me so I left that blank. Would hire him again.
Derek was fast and efficient. I will definitely use him for future projects around the house. Thanks Derek!
