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 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 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 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.

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

  3rd time using Derek for a big remodel. This time he helped make a handicapable bathroom for my mom who is in declining health. He made sure that every safety... Read More feature was utilized with all ADA requirements and still made it gorgeous. Every little detail to her bathroom and new master suite was perfect up to the lights outlets so she could see at night. He would even take the time to include her in the decisions even though it would take a very long time for her to understand. Especially with her dementia he made sure that she was comfortable and felt that this was all her decisions. The bathroom is perfect, the added closet and updated window openings to make it to code for a bedroom are exactly how we wanted and the work is amazing. Just waiting for my next project to hire him. An honest, hardworking contractor with great craftsmanship is hard to find

  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)!

  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.

  I used Timeless Finishes to remodel my kitchen, bathrooms, and fireplace. The owner, Derek, always showed up on time and completed the job in a very timely manner.... Read More I have never worked with such a reliable contractor. He has an eye for detail, and always knew what design would fit my style and my budget. He worked hard to make sure I was satisfied with the quality of materials and when I encountered a granite "emergency" he saved the day by tracking down the granite I wanted. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family. If you want quality and reliability, Timeless Finishes is the company to go with. You won't be disappointed.
