I found Derek at Timeless Finishes on Yelp and took a chance on him even though I got a few referrals from my friends. I am so so so happy... read more that I took the chance because he was the best contractor ever. I've heard so many horror stories from my friends about their experiences with their contractors, but I didn't have a single hiccup at all. Derek worked with me on my tight budget and he's really knowledgable. He gave me all options and even offered me advice that would cut costs (what contractor is willing to offer you a cost-saving option)? He wasn't pushy or sales-pitchy at all, but just had great intentions to make my house look great. We refaced the cabinets in my kitchen, and built-in cabinets in my living room, tore down a part of a wall, and painted my whole house. He even made me custom glass door cabinets and did beyond what was on our contract. He's extremely meticulous and precise about everything he does. His paint job (which was my biggest worry) was so clean and beautiful! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs any work! We're already deciding to do a few more changes to the house (that we didn't think of before), and I would not want to work with anyone else other than him!

  Derek was fabulous in every way! He was personable & a good resource & help for us in making decisions. He was great at communicating when & what he was... read more going to do. He was clear & accurate in his bid. He was ON TIME every day & finished the project exactly when he said he would! He was neat, clean, respectful & friendly. I would use him again in a heartbeat! Best value, quality & speed of anyone else by far!

  Derek at Timeless Finishes far exceeded my expectations. Remodeling is a big commitment on all sides, so I had 5 companies provide quotes for bathrooms and the kitchen. Not only... read more was Derek specific about pricing in the quote, but he also responded with a complete quote quickly (and it included all items, unlike some of the other quotes we received). The primary selling points for me were that it was clear he knows the scope of work (unlike some of the salespeople coming from other companies), and when he came initially to see what we were looking to do, he was great with my daughter and our dog. He also understood our budget and came up with ideas that fit into that range.
We hired him do a remodel on an upstairs bathroom and then asked him back for the entire downstairs including the kitchen (complete removal and replacement), a bathroom, a removal of part of a wall, and more. He was always responsive via text or phone call and ensured that we could live here as comfortably as possible while he worked. The job was completed when we expected and it has completely transformed our home into something beautiful. I wholeheartedly recommend this company.

  Derek was the best! Needed a remodel and he showed up on time and made our dream come true. Our cabinets came out perfect and I'm getting ready for... read more him to redo my bathroom as we speak. His expertise is uncanny and can't wait to see how the bathroom come out (soon)!

  We called several companies to get estimates to do a complete remodel in our kitchen as well as do some remodeling in the bathrooms in the house. We chose... read more Derek's company, Timeless Finishes, to do the work and we are very well-pleased with the outcome (he just finished today). His prices are reasonable and the quality of his work is excellent. What especially impressed us was the way Derek handled himself through the entire remodel process: he was always courteous, returned all emails or phone calls right away, made excellent suggestions in design and material choices but was never over-bearing. We can be a bit picky sometimes but Derek never lost his composure or had an attitude, he was always positive and helpful. Finally, he is quite skilled in his craft of remodeling but what is even more important, he is a man of integrity.

  We contracted Derek to upgrade our new condo that came standard with very basic finishes. We did not want to buy upgrades through the home builder as options are limited... read more and overpriced. Derek upgraded almost everything in our condo. He installed new cabinets, quartz countertops, flooring (tile and carpet), crown molding, baseboards, custom closet built-ins, custom entertainment center with fireplace and LED lighting, and finished it off with paint throughout.

His attention to detail is extraordinary. I have very high expectations (and severe OCD), and Derek did not disappoint. His prices are very fair, and with the level of service and craftsmanship he provides, they could be much higher. The photos speak for themselves.

  Cannot say enough good things about Derek and his guys. He really took ownership of the projects and cared for them, as if they were his own. There were so... read more many times where he ran into an issue and could have charged more, but mostly did not and if he did, it was very fair. Did great work and I will definitely be reaching out again.

  Timeless Finishes remodeled my kitchen with beautiful cabinets and granite counter-tops. It looked so nice I had to go out and buy all new appliances! I liked it so much... read more that I am having them replace more cabinets and counter-tops and even adding cabinets to the dining area. Derek the owner is very hands on and easy to work with and goes out of his way to make sure you understand each step of the process and any costs vs. savings for changing or upgrading any part. Derek also goes out of his way to make himself available via phone, texts, and emails. He has a good eye and gives good advice too. This was my first remodel of anything and I am glad I used Timeless Finishes.

  We had a kitchen remodeled and a bar area redone. This company is outstanding! Quality work done on time. Derek is the contractor who gives the bid and does the... read more work with his other affiliates. Prices are so reasonable and when he found problems like 4 leaky water valves he would replace them for no extra charge until we insisted. So many little things come up when you demo a kitchen and he would just take care of it.
We are so happy with the kitchen remodel. Originally we were going to reface the cabinets because the house will be rented. However, after receiving 3 refacing bids and then Derek's bid from Timeless Finishes, Derek's full cabinet and countertop replacement bid was the same as our lowest refacing bid. The cabinets are a great quality with slow close drawers. Derek even helped us decide on a couple changes we made in the kitchen design with cabinet placement. You can see before and after pics which say it all.

  From the start Derek was responsive and clear on what he was able to provide for our full kitchen renovation. His quote was fair and he did not change... read more the price at any point in the renovation other than when we asked him to do something differently that would clearly change the cost. For example, after demo we decide that it would be a good time to replace our old aluminum wiring. Derek was able to add that in a timely manner and obviously we knew there would be a cost change. Derek was always clear with costs and kept track of where we were at in payments.

Derek was also always on time and never seemed annoyed when we would ask questions about certain things before they were finished (I'm sure a homeowners and their kids sticking their head in and asking about various things can be irritating).

We love how our kitchen turned out and Derek even did a few Pinterest style things for us that were new to him. But they turned out excellent.

We will use Derek again and we would happily recommend him to others in the north OC area.
