Derek is an awesome person to work with! I would recommend him to anyone!

Doing business with Derek was smooth and professional. I loved the way the side table turned out. Beyond my expectations. He does beautiful work. One of a kind. The communication with Derek was easy and he was very attentive to what I wanted.Thank you Derek.Ruth Greer

We hired Derek / Western Pride Woodworks to design and build a custom showcase dining table, along with a small breakfast table. We wanted something oval-shaped for the dining table, and he managed to find a sustainably-sourced California Redwood burl. The final piece is absolutely mesmerizing. It's completely changed the atmosphere in our dining room, and is now the heart of the entire house. We are so impressed with Derek's work - communication, professionalism, delivery - but most importantly his artisanship and craftsmanship. Would definitely recommend.

We asked Derek to fix several items to get our house ready to put on the market and he did a great job. His finishing work is fantastic and his experience sure shows in how quickly and well he fixed everything. I would recommend him to anyone. Derek is a very well rounded, professional and experienced craftsman.

I recently had a bench made as a wedding gift for my daughter and son-in-law. The finished result was absolutely beautiful including engraving to match their wedding invitation. Derek was lovely to work with involving us in every step of the process. I highly recommend!

When I was getting posted with the military from Alberta to CFB Borden, Ontario, I considered buying a house. I was interested in one that was budget-friendly, but clearly required renovations (being sold as is") so I reached out to Derek due to his great reviews. He was so kind

We have used Western Pride Home Services for a kitchen renovation and are in the final stahes of a bathroom renovation. We appreciated Derek's honesty and knowledge. He not only completed the work, but provided suggestions on vendors for counter top and tiles. We are happy with the results and look forward to future projects!

After looking on the internet to find a custom wood worker to build myself a live edge kitchen table and bench I found Derek's website and it represented itself as a quality custom work. After speaking with Derek and a few helpful hints and ideas we came up with a plan for something unique. And unique it was. I wanted a custom table made a little wider than normal but I only wanted one piece I did not want 2 pieces. Well after leaving it with Derek and him searching all his resources he was able to come up with exactly what I wanted. Derek kept me informed of every step along the way from the start of the search until the finished product. And let me tell you the finished product is absolutely gorgeous. Derek did an amazing job of drying , planing and finishing this table and bench which is also only one piece and live edge on both sides. I am always looking for one of a kind things and Derek definitely delivered that to me. I will doing future projects as building a bar and Derek is already on the search of another unique one of a kind live edge bar top for me. I can't thank Derek enough and he has definitely done a fantastic job for me and look forward to working with him in the future as he now has all my business. I highly recommend Derek for all your custom work.Wayne Watson.

Derek was working next door when I asked him if he'd be interested in doing a small job for us. Derek came over to have a look and it didn't take long to realize we had the right man. His positive attitude and professionalism, before, during and after completion of the work were very much appreciated. Derek's willingness to engage us in the work, demonstrated his commitment to customer service. I would highly recommend Derek and will not hesitate to contact him for any future work we may require.Dan Marouelli

We got a custom bench from Wester Pride Woodworks and are extremely happy with the result. It took a bit longer than quoted but it was well worth the wait. Thanks so much!!
