Derrick is great! We reached out to him about building a gazebo we bought online. He was very quick to respond, and was able to provide a time estimate and quote. He came on time with all the necessary tools and did an excellent job of putting it together! He didn't exceed his quote and even came back a week later to tighten the bolts. He's a pleasure to speak with, and I highly recommend him for any of your handyman needs! read more

He is very nice and showed up as promised and moreover he strictly followed the current pandemic measures during the service. I would definitely recommanded him. Thanks Derrick once again. read more

Derrick was very responsive on initial inquiry and has been very easy to communicate with. His services were very reasonably priced.

We will definitely be going to him for future handyman services. read more

Kitchen sink replacement including sink faucet and water filter faucet. There were some unpredicted challenges and he came up with his creativity to take care of it. I like his work ethics and customer service. He is honest in what he can and cannot do and delivered what he committed. I have more things for him to do and hope he can be my long term handyman.

In a nutshell, Derrick is fantastic!!! Great communication, attention to detail, punctual, easy to work with and overall a great guy! I had several jobs for which I needed help. Derrick took care of most of them. Polk Audio surround sound speaker ceiling mounting, diagnosing an electrical issue, caulking bathroom, repairing mesh in patio entrance were some of the jobs that he worked on. For the ones he couldn't take care of he explained in detail 'why' he wasn't able to care for them and recommended alternatives. He was spot on with the estimates as well. I will definitely call him again when needed. read more

Derrick and his assistant were on time and did a great job setting up my 10' X 10' Gazebo. I would definitely hire them again in the future.

We had a bed frame that broke on one side. Had to find someone that can fix it right away. We found Derrick on yelp and the whole experience was pleasant. We were able to set up an appointment with him in no time. He came out helped moved the bed and took a look at the frame and explained to my husband why the frame broke. He not only fixed the side that broke, he also reinforced the other side as well. Reasonable, honest, and professional. In fact, we'd already talked to him about our next fix! Thanks, Derrick, for your help! read more

Derrick is an excellent handyman. This is the second time he is helping out at our home. He replaced a kitchen faucet which was difficult to get to under the sink. He worked through it patiently, and carefully. A very thorough professional. read more

Derrick is so great. He remodeled our three clothes cabinets and paint them, change the kitchen facet, replace and reposition the disposal, he will also paint the kitchen cabinets and change vanity. It seems there is nothing that he cannot do. He knows everything. He is very nice and clean. He wear very clean shoe covers every time. To me, he was not a handyman, but a real friend who would like to come to your home and help you figure out all the things. We have really nice talks during his work here. He also ask for very reasonable price. We will definite recommend him to our friends. I think if you have some little problems, but do not know who to talk to and afraid of spending too much on having several people come figure out different things, just look for Derrick. He is the perfect person. read more

I found Derrick on yelp. I needed someone to repair a fence..Derrick gave me a very fair estimate and did the work ina very professional manner..I immediately asked him for quote on other things that need fixing and he has completed one job and I will have him over in the late spring to do some big jobs..Derrick is a very nice person and does exceptional work in my opinion. You can't go wrong. read more

I found Derrick on Craigslist and emailed him. He responded quickly and he quoted me from some simple pictures. It was an informal quote and very reasonable in price. The work was to repair a 12x24 deck that had some wood rotted. It was impossible to tell the extent of rot without tearing some board up. He scheduled me in and when the day came, he discovered a substantial amount of rot. At this point, Derrick's consultation was pivotal in rolling with these extra punches. He made suggestions of replacing the foundation and I am glad to have taken them. The job did turn out to be larger but we negotiated the price and Derrick was very fair. The finished product is a partially replaced deck, the price was very reasonable, and the quality is high. Derrick is meticulous in the details and he was a real nice guy, fixing a couple other thinks wrong with my backyard without hesitation. To sum things up, I am happy to have given him business and hope his business flourishes more with this review. read more

Derrick recently did some painting work for the doors and window sills .He did a thorough job , right from giving a quote to getting the job done. He also responds to questions/messages in a timely manner. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent service provided by Derrick. He was quick, very informative and helpful. Will recommend his services 10/10 times.

Derrick spent this afternoon erecting a Rubbermaid shed for us... he arrived on time, worked tirelessly, even when it started raining and did not charge us an arm and a leg for the job. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others. read more

He did good at what asked but didn't show up the next day. I have to find another handyman to finish the job.

Knowledgeable, honest and reliable handyman. I've used him on a couple of occasions and both times he has done a great job. Highly recommended! read more

Derrick has been my go-to-guy for all things technical. His most recent SAVE was to resurrect a computer at my office from the dead. He quickly diagnosed the problem, reformatted the drive, loaded the operating system and restored the programs. It's running better than new! If he runs into any roadblocks, he has a wealth of contacts he confers with. He's responsive, reliable and fairly priced. He has my highest recommendation. Robert K. Wong, DDS read more

I called Derrick few days ago, he came today on time, did a great job. Disassembled, moved and re-assembled some office furniture. Good guy, great work ethics. read more

My fence gate was broken. Not only is it as good as new, but the latch works too. Awesome skills! You can't go wrong with this guy!

Derrick came over to our house to look at about a half dozen issues that I was having. He was able to diagnose each of the issues and saved me a lot of money by explaining to me in detail what the problem was and how the problem could be fixed if I chose to do the fix myself. For example, we have a bathtub faucet that sprays water. Rather than propose taking apart the bathtub and charging me hundreds of dollars to diagnose and fix--like 2 other contractors told me--Derrick was able to recommend a commonly available cleaning solution that would remove the lime and calcium buildup he found on the faucet. Best of all he didn't charge me for the visit, but gave me reasonable quotes for work should I choose to have him do the fixes instead of me. He is also not going to try to do work that he isn't already an expert at, and will recommend others that he feels would do a good job. I'd recommend giving Derrick a call if you're in the East Bay and have some home repair issues that you can't quite figure out how to fix yourself. read more

I needed to get some light fixtures and the bathroom exhaust fan replaced in my house. Also, there were some small repairs around the house that were long overdue. So I needed one person who could come in and take care of all the repairs. Found Derrick on Yelp and decided to contact him. All I have to say is I am extremely glad to have found Derrick. Very prompt with communication, his estimate very reasonable, his work neat and of exceptional quality!! Our house number light box had been out for years, and I had tried fixing it with no luck. Derrick suggested that we first change the bulb, and see if it works. He stopped by on a Sunday morning with the new bulb, fixed it, and texted me saying that he had replaced the bulb and that seemed to do the trick, and the repair was on him!!!! He so deserves 10 stars!! He is a thorough professional with exceptional work ethics!! I am very happy to given him my business and will continue to do so. read more

Derrick was professional and responsive with some good advice and reasonable rates. Helped repair a crack in our wall, checked on some pipes, and offered suggestions about a shower fixture. While he couldn't solve all of the problems, he gave me reasonable and helpful advice on trying to fix it. I would recommend him. Thank you! read more

Had Derrick give me a quote to replace a combination light & fan in a bathroom. His quote was lower than I expected and he did the work within a couple of days. He did a super job, was prompt, courteous, cleaned up after finishing the work and he was okay with the dog! I highly recommend calling Derrick for any handyman needs. HE GIVES SENIORS A DISCOUNT! His number is 510-545-8517. read more

I needed a deck repaired for a home that is rented out. I contacted Derrick; he visited the tenants, gave me a good quote and didn't pressure me at all. Two weeks later, I called and asked to go ahead with it-- he had the quote and sent me an email copy. Because I don't live in the area, I really appreciate that he communicated well, took pics to show me the progress, and let me know of any unexpected things. The overall cost was within $60 of the quote, and we were happy with the results. I will keep his number for future repairs, in case my property needs more fixes. Thanks for a smooth, honest transaction! read more

Awesome job. Arrived on time, and brought all the tools and necessary additional material to finish the job to perfection. Also helped with a few sundry things at home. Very efficient and creative problem solver. read more

We have used Derrick twice so far - once for putting up an entryway lamp and the second time it was for fixing a fence slat that came undone. Both times his timeliness, professionalism, quality of work, fees charged and communication (he speaks American English!) exceeded our expectations. He is the complete package - the handyman you have been wishing for. I will hire Derrick for any odd jobs, big or small, from now on. read more

I had Derrick come to my father's house in CA to help me install some grab safety bars. He was honest, reasonable, and professional. The bars look great, are very secure, and have been used continuously since! I will definitely keep his number for future needs. read more

We had Derrick out to repair a fence in our front yard, and trouble shoot/repair a light fixture that was not working. He responded quickly by email, and was able to come out for a quote, which was fairly priced. He completed the job in a timely manner, and cleaned up afterword. And furthermore he explained what he did to make the repairs, and made suggestions for improvement in the future. We will have him back for our future handyman needs! read more

Since the job I had was small, I was not sure if I'd find someone to take it. Derrick not only took it, and did it very well, but never made me feel like it was "too small" and some sort of annoyance. He built and planted a very nice two-post support for my and my neighbor's mailboxes, set in cement, and weather sealed, and mounted the boxes. Reasonable price, courteous interactions throughout. I'll definitely call on him again when the next small or larger job comes up. read more

Derrick installed two shower heads, hung some pictures, and did a few other small tasks. He was precisely punctual and the work was excellent. read more
