**★★★★★ — IL Morrisless, Dec. 2015**

> I am a homeowner and have hired Derek for a few safety-critical jobs.  He is so friendly, fast, TALENTED and affordable!!!  I hope to never call anyone else ever again when it comes to contractor work on my house.  He is the best at what he does!

**★★★★★ — Lacey Graves, Sept. 2015**

> Derek was the manager of my rental property for 10 years. I trusted him from across the country to take care of all aspects of that property. He is wonderful, responsible, respectful and above all else does incredible work. He fixed all issues that came up quickly and correctly. You are in great hands with Derek!

**★★★★★ — dfallek, Aug. 2015**

> Derek was the project manager and lead carpenter for my kitchen and bathroom remodel.  He is extremely prompt, solution-oriented, creative, well-organized and talented.  On top of that, he is a pleasure to work with.  I would hire him again for my next project and enthusiastically recommend him.
