Derek and his crew were excellent to work with for the planning and installation of new windows, doors, siding, and insulation on our home. Communication was clear and prompt, and the work is beautifully done. Our home looks great and is so much warmer and more efficient. We would highly recommend We Build Contracting!

Ryan O'Donnell

We had a large renovation project, almost our entire basement (Floors, walls, ceilings, outlets and lights), heat pumps, new windows, installation of a new window, a bedroom, and a complete bathroom remodel. On top of taking on a large project my wife was 5 months pregnant. Though we never asked, Derick promised to have all of it done before the baby was born. I’m happy to say despite the large amount of work done, he followed through. He and his team were able to finish the job on time. In terms of the process, Derick started by doing a walkthrough of the job with us. He took many pictures and video recordings narrating what we wanted done. We felt he listened to us, and he also gave us suggestions or built off of our own ideas in ways we hadn’t thought of. Once the walk through was done, he gave us some suggestions on what we could do prior to work to make the process smoother and faster for he and his team. Following that, I sent him a complete list of what we wanted done. We gave him our budget and for his quote, he delivered five separate ones: Windows, Basement, Heat pumps, Bathroom, and Bedroom. These quotes were further broken down to every possible cost associated with them. No detail was left out. When his team started, we knew exactly what we were paying for down to the last dollar. When it came time to pay there was no surprise costs, it was exactly what he had quoted us. No renovation job is without its surprises and ours had a few. Two issue that stood out; were the bathroom floor previously had been installed on thinner plywood that was not to code. We always had issues with our tile cracking and never knew why. On top of this issue, the biggest one we had, was when they replaced one of the windows in our basement, there was a large amount of rot was around the wood frame of the window and some studs beyond that. For both of these issues, Derick was quick to come up with a plan, and more importantly go over it with us thoroughly before going ahead and fixing the issue. He even took the time to show us the issues as close to the point of discovery as he could so that we would see them first hand. He was open with the extra cost, and even came ready with a breakdown quote of the additional cost to fix the issues, which we were grateful for. Derick really loves his job, and so did the guys working for him. He not only treated every question with respect, but bubbled with enthusiasm when explaining parts of the construction process. This was a gigantic project, and a huge expense for us, so we naturally were nervous about taking the first steps to getting this done. Throughout the whole process, we had a ton of questions. Derick was very patient with us. I can’t understate how grateful I am for that. I knew any question we had, were answered promptly, by either himself or by his team. His employees were also very helpful. Aside from answering any questions, each morning, I usually wanted to know what they planned to do for the day. They were not just informative, but almost always accomplished what they had planned. For having so much of our home renovated, there was hardly any construction debris. In fact, there was protective material placed down and they cleaned up everything at the end of each day. The interruptions to our lives were minimal. This made things very safe for us, our toddler and our pets. With a large project like this, we took a lot of time looking over various contractors. Derick came on the recommendation of a couple of our friends, who also had an extensive renovation done. After seeing his work, we made our choice and I am happy we did. Since then, I would, and have recommended Derick to anyone looking for renovations. Thank you for helping us shape our home!
