The full story: Derrick Jackson, Remodeling Specialist
Derrick Jackson is a remodeling specialist at True Builders with about 30 years in the trade, 20 of them here in the Tampa area, doing kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and all sorts of improvements to people's homes. His role is the front end: meeting customers in their home, doing measurements, figuring out what their wants and needs are, and helping design the perfect kitchen or bathroom. The best part of the job, in his words: "improve people's homes, make their life better."
What happens at an in-home remodel consultation (and how to prepare)
The visit Derrick describes is where a remodel succeeds or dies, and you can stack the odds by preparing for it like he does.
- Collect photos of kitchens or bathrooms you love; three pictures beat an hour of adjectives
- Separate wants from needs before the visit, and say which is which out loud
- Share your real budget range; designers design to numbers, and honesty buys better options
- Point out what annoys you daily - the trash location, the dark corner - since fixing those is the remodel's real job
- Ask how measurements become a design, and when you will see it; a defined next step marks a professional
