Description of Work: Very disappointed in his lack of follow through. He came to our home,spent ~2 hours discussing the job and left. He led us to believe he could and would do the job. After several weeks, I called to ask when he would start the process, he told me he had other jobs in the meantime and would not be able to do my job until 2 more months. I told him to forget it.

The work was perfect and on time.
Description of Work: Derek built a custom TV mount above our fireplace. We needed it to match the existing woodwork and mantle which he did perfectly. We were very impressed with Derek's professionalism and skill as well as his customer service. We will definitely use his services again in the future.

Description of Work: Mr. Brainard did a great job of repairing a rotting jam on the front door. He had to cut out a good deal of the jam and replace with new wood. It was very precise work, he was able to maintain the doors security and its ability to withstand the weather. Other repair people were recommending a complete door system replacement which would have cost over $2000.

Beautiful gates. It looks like it came with the home in 1939 when my home was built. The work was outstanding. Absolutely gorgeous. These gates were for a formal living room. Derek was such a nice person. He was here for 5 hours installing them. I use them again. Highly recommend him for his craftsmanship.
Description of Work: They did the most fantastic woodworking I have ever seen. He made custom pet gates for my home.

Derek is meticulous in his work and the final product shows it. I love my mantle in my new house. You can't tell where it was ever dismantled. And my pantry makes searching for items so much easier with the sliding shelves.
Description of Work: Removed an antique mantle for one house and installed it in new house. Also built a custom pantry with sliding shelves.

We provided Derek with magazine photos of what we hoped the end products would look like and showed him the woodwork in the model home, so that he had a better idea of the starting point and the style. He internalized this and asked questions as he progressed through the work. He provided suggestions and was flexible with making adjustments.
Description of Work: Derek installed window sills for seven windows and created a built-in wine cabinet. He primed all woodwork.

WE WERE EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH OUR EXPERIENCE FROM ALL POINTS OF VIEW. DEREK RETURNED OUR CALL PROMPTLY, ARRIVED AT THE AGREED UPON TIME, AND COMPLETED THE WORK AT A REASONABLE PRICE. AT THE TIME HE ARRIVED, WE ADDED SOME WORK TO THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL AND HE STILL GOT IT DONE IN OUR TIME FRAME. HE IS EASY TO WORK WITH, AND WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM AND WILL USE HIM AGAIN.
Description of Work: DEREK INSTALLED SOME PRE-ASSEMBLED RACKING INTO ONE OF OUR ROOMS. I WOULD DESCRIBE THE WORK AS A SMALL PROJECT, BUT SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED SINCE THE RACKING HAD TO BE VERY SECURE AND COMPLETELY LEVEL ON A FLOOR THAT WASN'T LEVEL.

IT IS THE VIEW OF ALL CHURCH MEMBERS THAT DEREK'S WORK WAS OUTSTANDING. WE HAVE RECEIVED MANY COMPLIMENTS ON THE QUALITY OF HIS WORK. DEREK IS EASY TO WORK WITH AND HIS WORK HABITS ARE VERY GOOD. HE FINISHED BOTH PROJECTS ON A TIMELY BASIS. I KNOW HE DID NOT CHARGE THE CHURCH FOR THE FULL VALUE OF HIS WORK. IN FACT, I WONDER IF OUR PAYMENTS TO HIM COVERED MUCH MORE THAN HIS MATERIAL COSTS.
Description of Work: DESIGN, FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION OF HANDRAILS MOUNTED IN ALTAR AREA OF OUR CHURCH. THESE WERE DESIGNED TO ASSIST MEMBERS CLIMBING THE THREE STAIRS FROM THE SANCTUARY AREA TO THE ALTAR AREA.
