Derek Locke
"Derek is an incredibly skilled carpenter. In a major renovation we did he was integral to turning a 19th century house into a beautiful home that is modern, yet in keeping with its history. He has a gentle manner, but we were particularly appreciative that he proactively made suggestions to make the plans suggested by our designer more efficient and/or attractive. Derek is thorough and careful in his carpentry work, paying deep attention to detail. He is a truly skilled craftsman in the best sense of the word, and has a kind, thoughtful manner that makes him easy to work with."
"I have known Derek for some years and was glad to hear that he is now going to work independently for which he is very qualified to do. He is a serious young man who takes his work very seriously. He successfully worked on a number of projects in my house in Lenox that I was going to put on the market to sell. Many of them were in my basement which needed a great deal of work. He was quiet and worked long hours until they were completed. He also served as a consultant on my new place. I would gladly recommend him for any home related projects. His pricing was also very fair."
