    I’ve done a lot of remodels and extensions and at the end of each of those projects I never wanted to see or talk to my contractor again. They were so disappointing. SUCH A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE WITH BEST CUSTOM HOMES! I will be forever grateful. We just came from the house. IT’S SO AWESOME! Kids and I couldn’t be happier and more excited - not just because we are tired of moving, but because this house is so COOL! Every room is better than we imagined it would be. Every room! Thank you so much for all of your advice along the way.

    The team at Best Custom Homes has helped me with two remodels on our personal residence and a complete home build in Winter Park. Each experience was professional and the job was done properly. Furthermore, they stick behind their work if there is a problem. The complete home build in Winter Park was done during the pandemic, a challenging time to say the least. They got us across the finish line despite numerous obstacles. Excellent team and an amazing owner. Derek is personable, courteous and a pleasure to work with.”

    Major Heating and Air Conditioning and Best Custom Homes have had an ongoing relationship for the past ten years. It’s always a pleasure to work with their professional and friendly staff on a daily basis. The most enjoyable part of working with Best is the attention to detail and the different variety of homes they build/remodel.

Owner & CEO

Behind every successful remodel is a team that knows how to manage the details, communicate clearly, and make decisions with integrity. Derek Best leads Best Remodels with more than 20 years of construction experience and a deep respect for what it takes to improve a home the right way.

For Derek, remodeling is not just about changing a space. It is about understanding the home, respecting what already exists, and helping clients create something that works better for the way they live now. Every project represents your time, your investment, your vision, and the home your family already loves. That is why the Best Remodels process is built around transparency, communication, and helping you feel informed instead of overwhelmed.

Derek’s goal is simple: to help you remodel your home with confidence, craftsmanship, and care. You get the benefit of an experienced construction team, but without the ego, distance, or cold experience that can sometimes come with high-end remodeling.

What Makes Best Remodels Different

When you are remodeling your home, you are not just hiring someone to coordinate trades. You are choosing the team responsible for protecting your vision, your budget, your timeline, and the quality of the home you already love. Best Remodels is built for homeowners who care about craftsmanship, clear communication, and doing things right from the beginning.

Here is what makes the Best Remodels experience different:

  • Thoughtful remodeling: Your remodel is shaped around your existing home, your lifestyle, your goals, and the way you want your space to function moving forward.

  • Transparent communication: We believe homeowners should feel informed throughout the process, with clear conversations around scope, budget, timeline, selections, and changes.

  • Real planning, not rough guesses: Remodels come with a lot of unknowns, so we take the time to review the details, understand the existing conditions, and provide as much clarity as possible before work begins.

  • Buildertrend access: Depending on the project, you may be able to track communication, scheduling, selections, change orders, daily logs, project updates, and important documents through your client portal.

  • Hands-on project management: Our team stays involved in the details, from planning and trade coordination to purchase orders, quality assurance, communication, and daily documentation.

  • A team you actually enjoy working with: Best Remodels blends high-quality craftsmanship with a down-to-earth, human, approachable experience.

The result is a better way to remodel. You get the structure, experience, and craftsmanship of a high-end construction team, with the honesty, communication, and personality of people who truly care about your home and the way you live in it.
