Beautifully renovated Louisville home interior with warm lighting and natural materials

Louisville, KY · Est. 2020

The contractor your neighbor won’t stop talking about.

From the bathroom you’ve been putting off to the kitchen you’ve been dreaming about — we do it all, and we actually answer the phone.

We respond within hours.

“Called three contractors. Derby Built responded same day. The others took a week.”

  • The quote we give is the price you pay.

You’ve been here before.

You found someone online, read the reviews, and hired them. The estimate was reasonable. Then the start date moved. Then calls went to voicemail. Then you had a half-finished bathroom and a contractor who’d gone quiet, and no clear path to finished.

This isn’t bad luck. It’s the remodeling industry’s reputation — earned one disappointed homeowner at a time.

Derby Built exists because it doesn’t have to be this way.

Three things we do that most contractors don’t.

The quote is the price.

We walk your space. We give you a real number based on what’s actually there. That number holds unless you ask us to change something.

If we expect to find something when we open the walls — in a Louisville home from the ‘60s, sometimes we do — we tell you before a single thing is torn out. Not after.

Work directly with the owners.

We are big enough to tackle the toughest remodels, but small enough to ensure every customer works directly with one of our owners. From the first estimate to the final walkthrough, you will always know who you are talking to.

Louisville is our backyard.

We’re brothers from Louisville. We live here. We drive past the homes we’ve built, and we want every single one to look exactly like it was always supposed to look.

We’re not a franchise. When you call, you reach us.

Don’t take our word for it.

I texted at 9pm on a Sunday. They responded in two minutes with a real answer. No other contractor even called me back.

The bathroom is stunning. I keep finding excuses to go in there. It looks like something out of a magazine — and the price came in exactly where they said it would.

They showed up when they said they would, communicated every single day, and left everything cleaner than they found it. Zero surprises.

Don’t let another summer go by with a bathroom you hate.

The estimate is free. There’s no commitment until you’ve seen the number and decided you’re ready to move forward. Call us or send a text — we’ll take it from there.
