I used Shack Built to finish my basement. I couldnt have asked for a better experience. Ive worked on commercial construction jobs many times, so I know my way around a project. I was extremely pleased with the whole process from my initial meeting with Derick, to the design help they worked with me on, to my foreman, Marty. They treated my home with respect while they were here. They were extremely communicative, from budget use, to the daily schedule. I knew what was going on every step of the way. I will definitely think of Shack Built for any future jobs I may have.
After researching and speaking with many contractors in the area, we decided to work with Shack Built on our basement finish. We chose them based on Dericks upfront and transparent initial conversations with us.Working with Brett on a daily basis throughout the project provided us the ability to quickly address any issue that arose and make decisions promptly. Our concerns and questions were addressed as we went along appropriately. We had a few specific requests that the team was able to handle without an issue. Their flexibility and willingness to adapt to our requests made this large project go smoothly, on time, and on budget.We really enjoyed working with Shack Built and look forward to the next project!
We used ShackBuilt to help design and remodel our master bathroom. Everyone at ShackBuilt was professional, responsible, caring, and communicative. Derick met with my wife and me multiple times and had multiple, lengthy conversations on the phone to help us make our choices for the bathroom. Everyone was extremely fast to answer our questions and everyone that came to work in our house was extremely respectful. Every evening the Matt made sure to make the place as clean as it was when he got there and never left anything out of place.I cannot say enough about how knowledgeable and friendly Derick, Marty, and Matt were throughout the entire process. Additionally, multiple times I sent emails to Sarah to ask questions about products and pricing from some of their other projects and she got back to me incredibly quickly and got me exactly what I needed. I would absolutely let them in my house again for another project.Definitely give ShackBuilt a look if you’ve got a project coming up.
Almost whole home remodel, happy with the results. More importantly, my review is of the people. You see what people are made of when faced with difficult situations. My project had some significant challenges. The owner Derick and I had tough conversations and we worked through the challenges together. Derick is honest, fair, and follows through. He surrounds himself with the same quality of people - his employees and trades.
We contracted ShackBuilt to completely remodel, reconfigure, and expand our master bathroom. They were extremely responsive and dependable. I value their attention to detail and appreciate that they never cut corners, always holding themselves accountable. As someone who works in the engineering and construction industry, I have high standards and expectations. They encouraged our unique and midcentury modern design concepts and seemed to enjoy the challenge of creating something new and different! We would recommend their services and look to use them again in the future.
Our first project w/ Shack Built was a deck remodel. We met with Derick and he listened to our ideas and our price range and shared some ideas of his own and together with his team put together a great outdoor living space for our family. Now two years later we reached out to him again on a bathroom remodel and a few other updates. Looking forward to working with the guys at Shack Built again. The people who work at Shack Built are top notch, trustworthy, responsive and do a terrific work.
We worked with the team at ShackBuilt to renovate the existing laundry room to accommodate a shower to help my parents age in place. Derick was very detailed and great on following up with us on many details. He made great recommendations for materials that were more cost effective. Ive worked with many contractors over the years and youll not find a more reliable and honest team!
From the moment I contacted Derick to talk about renovating and adding on to our house he was very communicative and straightforward. Derick was able to put a team together to develop plans that met our wants/needs as well as fit our budget.Throughout the process of construction our project manager, Brett Schubert, could not have been a better coordinator, scheduler and communicator for the job. He was present at our house nearly every day, providing updates on the progress was happening and on top of changes that needed to be made.Our project started and finished on time and was on budget. I cannot think that our renovation would have gone this well if we would have chosen another company or had another project manager.
The professional and personal attention given to our basement bath remodel and kitchen trash compactor removal was appreciated. They were able to remove a very difficult compactor that other companies said my whole kitchen floor would have to be redone plus matched my existing cabinets with a rollout trash bin. They also put in insulation to warm our floors. They were very punctual and consistent with communication. We are enjoying our home.
Great job. Easy to work with. I would use them again.
We (me and my wife) recommend Schack Built without hesitation. The Shack Built team set realistic expectations, and not only followed through with them; they went beyond them. Important things to us in hiring a company, to remodel our house, interior and exterior, was to find one who listens to our vision and uses it as a platform to grow their professional ideas into a collaborative plan that tangibly and visually creates an efficient functional home that is incredibly meaningful and compliments our lifestyle. Every day Shack Built cleaned up their workspace. The budget was very well communicated; we were aware of any savings and expenses so to avoid any major surprises. A great example of Shack Builts planning, organization and attention to detail. I would recommend Shack Built to my closest friends and family.
Derick was VERY professional and punctual with all the meetings that we scheduled before our remodeling project. When I finally met with Brett, the lead on our project, I knew that we were going to get along GREAT! We were more like brother and sister than working partners. We clicked and got along great! The contractors did a good job and Shackbuilt followed up on their work. If there were any hiccups (which there always are) they were corrected RIGHT AWAY and without any problems! GREAT JOB GUYS! We are very pleased with our bathroom remodel.
Very happy with the basement remodel. Beautiful job! Everything went smoothly due to the efficiently of the project manager, and his scheduling of subcontractors. Great cleanup also.
Shack Built was brought in to finish our garage, make our attic accessible, replace and install windows and doors and they did a fantastic job. Felt the proj manager was in constant contact with us and explained why a door was delayed at the manufacturer. I would highly recommend them for any project big or small.
We hired Shack Built to replace and expand our deck and replace a second deck with a concrete pad and pergola. Derick was very professional and helpful during the planning stages and throughout. We are very satisfied with the end result. The project was completed efficiently and the workmanship is high quality. Minor issues that were discovered upon demolition were resolved quickly and to our satisfaction. The crew that completed our project was very professional and left the construction area clean and debris free at the end of each day and at the end of the project. I would highly recommend Shack Built.
As a fellow trade person, working with the guys at shack built was a breeze. Not only are they competent, but have a really cool modern flair for the style they create. They build a great product and are easy to deal with. I have no problem referring them to anyone I meet.
After meeting Derick, it was great to see someone who sets expectations and is clear with myself and the homeowner. The steps that will be taken throughout the building process is an important step, and Derick takes your dream and makes it a reality. I believe communication is key, and Derick goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is on the same page. What also stands out to me is how diligent Derick is on each and every project. At Pella, were grateful to meet Dericks standards of quality work because he continues to raise the bar of craftsmanship and integrity. His remarkable track record speaks for itself and if youve been thinking of a home project, give Derick a call so you can see it firsthand.
Shack Built was easy to work with from first meeting until completion. The bid price was adjusted with fair extras and credits and the finished project was equal to or exceeded our expectations. I have already recommended the company to others and will continue to do so.
Shack Built has done several projects for us, and we have been extremely happy with the results. Derick provides quality work at an affordable price. He carefully inspects the work done by sub-contractors and requires touch-ups and corrections if needed. He stands by his work, if there is ever a problem after the fact.
Great contractor! Derick is very detail oriented and creative. His staff was professional and the project finished on schedule. Amazing finished product and very happy customers!
I have met with Derick several times and he is very attentive and responsive to all my requests. He is extremely detail oriented and makes that he understands the entire process before making any decisions. I would not hesitate to recommend Derick for any project you have!
Derick was professional, kind, punctual, knowledgeable and provided a reasonable estimate in a timely manner. I was impressed with Shack Built and would most definitely recommend their services.
We contacted Derick Shackleford at Shack Built in September of 2018 to request a plan and quote to finish our basement. From that moment on, he and his team’s work, communication, and timeliness far exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t more highly recommend them with a Five-Star rating.All around Derick, Brett, and their team were a pleasure to work with on our basement project. We finished around 1,000 SF of space. The quality of workmanship was extremely high and even when there were issues, which were inevitable on a project of this size and complexity, Derick and Brett never stopped problem solving and working to meet our expectations. From proposal through completion, the process was well orchestrated by their production manager, Brett Schubert. In addition, the overall construction team and subcontractors - framing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, finishing, (walls, paint, trim, doors etc.), cabinets, and counter tops were all excellent.Most importantly, it is evident that two-way communication is highly valued by Derick and Brett and they know that it is necessary in order to make the process as enjoyable as possible. They are also open to feedback and recommendations related to how to improve the process. They were respectful of our home when entering and exiting each day and they kept the work space as clean as possible. Examples include having a dumpster and porta-potty on site and placing paper protection on the floors. They even paid for a full house cleaning after the project was complete!!! Shack Built kept on schedule throughout the project and we passed every building inspection on the first pass. We recommend the team at Shack Built to anyone, and not just for basement finishes. They also completed work on our dining room and stairwell.We consistently receive compliments on how beautiful and well done our basement looks. Anytime we hear of someone contemplating a basement project we quickly share with them our highest recommendation of Shack Built. They are FANTASTIC!
Shack Built made us a one off conference table for our business. From start to finish they were very communicative and had great ideas to make our ideas better. They resolved the few small problems we had very fast and professionally. Problems will occur and it is nice to know you have their full support and attention to solve them! We have recommended Shack Built to all of our business associates. Thank you so much Shack Built!
I engaged Derick to replace our aging deck with a new version of the same footprint. Being new to working with contractors and major house projects, I had several meetings with Derick to discuss all the details of the project and plan out the specifics. My goal was to avoid costly changes/issues later in the project. As all good plans go, there were issues that came up. Derick respondedly quickly and professionally to ALL of my concerns as they came up. His attitude was one of lets work this out rather than that will be an expensive change, do you really want it. Dericks calm demeanor helped reduce the stress for us and kept his team moving in the right direction. All of my puch list items were taken care of and the deck looks beautiful. After a year of living with the deck, it still meets my expectations. Derick has even followed up a couple of times to make sure things were good and no touch-ups were required. Overall, a great experience with Derick and his team.
Its always great when we get the opportunity to work on a project with Derick Shackelford at Shack Built. As a window and door provider of Pella Products, we get to work with our fair share of contractors. Derick is one who always stands out to us. His creative and outside the box ability to transform a home to be as energy efficient as possible is truly amazing! He is really gifted in this area. Its natural to him and it shows. The other two things that always impresses me with Derick is the simple fact that he is a man of high integrity and his willingness to volunteer his time and give back to the community. He is passionate in everything he does and is a remarkable individual. If you are looking to transform your home through a remodeling or renovation project, you need to give Derick a call. Youll be glad you did.
Outstanding customer service and more importantly attention to detail! I have been updated everyday on progress and expectations! Super Job!
Derick cares so deeply about his clients and the work that Shack Built does that I cant imagine anyone not choosing to work with Shack Built! They are amazing people to work with.
Derick and his crew were great to work with on our project. They built exactly what we wanted, and did it with great professionalism, skill and attention to detail.
THEY DO SOME OF THE FINEST WORK IN KC AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY NEAT AND CLEAN
Amazing attention to detail, but by far what sets SHACKBUILT apart is the team and how they communicate with the client.
Shackbuilt was referred by a neighbor who said they were very particular in doing their job right. I was concerned they might be too expensive based on that comment. It turns out their bid was below other bids we received.Indeed, the work was done very professionally and in a reasonable timeframe. Derick & Brett followed up at the end to make sure any concerns were addressed. There were none, the work done is excellent.I highly recommend ShackBuilt.
Derick is very knowledgeable about the process and easy to talk to. Id highly recommend.
Our screened porch is the envy of our neighbors and friends. Great workmanship and creativity.
Great Company !!!
