We are fully licensed and insured, and are excited to help you jumpstart any home remodel project or simply work through your endless to-do list of smaller repairs.

Meet Our Team

  • Carson

    Carson Derr is a veteran of the trades spending majority of his adult carreer as a classically trained automotive mechanic specializing in Luxury German vehicles. After getting married and buying a home in Havertown in early 2021, Carson decided to transition into home repair and small scale remodel noticing a huge market in his new neighborhood. His dedication to high quality workmanship and years of experience with tools and equipment made the transition easier than not and within one year of the idea he established White Clay Handyworks LLC paying homage to his hometown fishing waters in south eastern Chester county, White Clay Creek.
