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!

  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!

  I found Timeless Finishes on Yelp. Called left a message. The owner, Derek called back and we spoke a bit about what I was looking for in a... read more my kitchen remodel. Derek asked the right follow-up questions about budget, finishes and counter tops. In my particular situation, I am planning on living with my new kitchen for several years and then my plan is to rent my property. So I was concerned about cost, durability and of course I wanted a new look for my 1964 kitchen. At the conclusion of our on-site meeting I hired Timeless Finishes. What I knew about the company was they are NOT the contractor referral services that you see advertised in the Newspaper or junk mail. I called them too, don't waste your time, unless you want to be visited by a smooth talking commission salesperson. You hire Derek, he is your only point of contact. He does a quality job and stands behind his work. Derek is clear about what will be extra and what is included. He works along with you to make sure you are happy with the finished product. His on-site advise is based on years of experience and he know what material work and how best to spend your budget.

In summary, I will recommend Derek to my friends and family.

  I have known Derek since he started his business several years ago. He has done work in my home from removing and laying new tile floors, painting walls and... read more trim and staining woodwork in my kitchen, bathrooms and family room. He is the consumate professional, taking pride in his work and doing all he can to guide the home owner to making wise choices to improve the home. Derek is totally trustworthy also. I had no reservations with having him working in my home while I was at work. He maintains open communication with you to ensure the work being done is what you want. He is also conscientious to keep the rest of the house protected from the area he is working in.....taking care as much as possible to keep dust and dirt from spreading throughout the rest of the house. He is also conscientious to clean up after himself at the end of each work day so that the house is still livable and useable until his return the next day. His equipment is carefully put aside, unobtrusive and covered. I would not hesitate to call on Derek again when I'm ready to move onto my next home project.

  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.

  Bathroom and Home Theater crown molding cabinets and misc electrical work done to perfection and very timely.

  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.

  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.

  We have used Derek and Timeless Finishes on three remodels: two bathrooms and our kitchen. All exceeded our expectations. One thing I liked about Derek is that he... read more is somewhat of a perfectionist. He won't complete the job until he and we are satisfied with his quality standards. He takes personal pride in his team's work.

His team is great on the details like tile/backsplash work, counters and cabinetry.

Derek also keeps you updated on his progress and costs, etc.

He also supplied a team very quickly to paint our exterior and do some facia repair. Great job for a competitive price.

We will contract with Derek again soon for some additional work.

  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.
