Description of Work: Baker Stonework tuckpointed my basement. They were in and out in two days with a crew of 4 guys each day. They moved items they needed to to do their work and then put them back in place after they were done. They also cleaned up well after themselves. | |They had re-laid a stone wall and steps of mine about 2003. They did a great job then and they did a great job now. A+ work! I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.

Description of Work: We were getting water in lower level. They redid ground level in front of concrete porch and removed barriers for drainage and filled in with concrete under porch to keep water from foundation. After years of searching, finally found someone who knew what to do. The solution has worked. We are very pleased.

Description of Work: I was having an issue with my Chimney not drafting very well. I was told by another company last year that it needed a major overhaul. Two gentlement from Baker Stoneworks came out the next day and inspected the current setup. They believed that the chimney cap was the issue and gave me advice on how to fix it myself. I took thier advice and had the problem solved for under $15. They did not charge me a penny. If I do have further issues in the future, I won't hesitate to call them again. I appreciated thier frankness and willingness to share thier knowledge. Seem like stand up guys. Thanks for helping me with my problem.

We needed to replace duct work. House was so low to the ground that rusted out duct work was smashed between the house and the ground. We called them for an estimate. They came out and did the estimate right away. We hired them. Took them a few weeks to get to us but WOW they were worth it. Those guys worked so hard and fast. They worked rain or shine. Took them a week. Some days it rained and they were covered in mud. But they kept right on working. They even fixed some problems that were not on the estimate, free of charge. I love their commitment to getting the job done, and done right. These guys are awesome. They really worked hard. Only problem I had was a little too much cursing going on around my 2 year old. But they deserved to cuss, considering the work they were doing.
Description of Work: Our house was sitting nearly on the ground. The crew got down on their bellies and dug out our crawlspace.

We loved the work they did. We can’t believe all of the work that was completed for the price we paid. They installed vents that open and close by themselves no more going under the house to open vents. Yea! If you need any stonework done these are the people to call.
Description of Work: Repaired the stonewall on the front of the house. Installed 6 new vents. Fixed cracks in the foundation.

After a few weather delays, the Baker Stone Work team came and tore down my deteriorating chimney (which had been built with low-quality bricks when my home was constructed; we had it repaired, bricks replaced, the whole thing sealed and re-sealed several times in 10 years, and finally opted to replace the whole chimney). Tearing down the chimney took the Baker team two days, and it took about a week to rebuild it with new brick. Add in one day to build the scaffolding, and another to take it down, and within about 2 weeks (with delays for bad weather) we had a new chimney. I no longer encounter chips of brick on our back walk every time I go outside!
Description of Work: Baker Stone Work tore down and rebuilt my chimney from the roof up, and installed a new crown and cap. They carted away the old brick and mortar, and cleaned up the site when they were finished. They applied two coats of sealant when they were done. Their bid included the cost of replacing the chimney liner if needed, but it wasn't necessary and they reduced the quoted price as a result.

The owners were friendly and knowledgable and followed through efficiently both in completing the estimate and in scheduling the work once we agreed to move forward with their estimate. The crew worked diligently and capably and finished the work in less than two days, between larger projects, and the owners followed up with me Though the pricer was high (almost double the estimate we got from another service provider), It was a pleasure for work with them and I think that I received a higher quality and quantity of work that I otherwise would have.

They were done in about 5-6 hours, and the results were top-rate! They were attentive to detail, leveling out the now-ground-level flower bed, and reusing sod where the pipe trench had been dug. The price of the stonework was adjusted fairly from the rebuild initailly planned to the stone removal without a hitch. I was completely satisfied, and will call them again when needed.
Description of Work: Gave me an estimate on rebuilding a stone planter box in front of house, and an estimate on laying a new gutter/downspout underground drainage pipe. I decided to not have the planter rebuilt, but asked crew to haul away the stone and lay the drainage pipe.

They gave me an estimate and did a good job too. It took them three days to finish. They were great. They came when they said they were going to come. They did everything on budget. They worked the whole day and they were great. I will work with them again. They were absolutely the best that I've dealt with. They were the first company that I've ever dealt with that actually came out here.
Description of Work: Baker Stone Work redid a stonewall for our house and they finished last week.

Description of Work: Charley took on a repair everlyone else wanted to tear down. We had just remodeled our house when at last Sear was delivering our appliances and ran into our garage - knocking it off the foundation and out of square. Charley put it back together and was pleasant on time and did exactly what was promised.

Wonderful! Sharron showed up at a set appointment time and reviewed the work together. She gave recommendations as to what was needed. She submitted an estimate for the work in a timely manner and communicated very well, and promptly, through email and on the phone. The workers were delayed due to the job they were working, but Sharron communicated the day or two before the work was to begin. ( I understand this due to being a contractor myself. At times you find things that need addressing only when you get into the job. ) The work commenced as agreed. The lead man called me when he had questions about some of the details as to where to place the extra dirt. He did not just take it into his own hands. The timing of the job was right on. No surprises with the invoice. Our yard looks great. If you need drain work and/or masonry work done, call this company. You won't be disappointed!
Description of Work: Our crawl space had excess water due to poor grading and drainage. We hired Sharron and her men to care for the problem due to having seen the work of her company. I was not disappointed. They installed a new french drain from the side of my house that had the problem to the front yard. This made it so the water would not drain into the street, nor our driveway, and cause ice problems in the winter. They also installed two new drains for my downspouts. These exited at the same point in the yard. The end result is clean and I am sure will provide what is needed. They landscaped the drain exit and graded out the dips in the yard to accommodate better drainage throughout. Seeded and strawed the areas disturbed. GREAT job. I would hire and also recommend them first for any work like this I hear of in the future.

They arrived when expected and performed all tasks systematically and professionally. The company management had provided the workers with the information that was exchanged during the estimate and they knew my concerns when they arrived. I also discussed the problems with them to avoid any possible confusion. The company management stopped by periodically during the project to see that all was progressing satisfactorily. They asked my thoughts of the progress of the work many times during the project and were quite willing to discuss any potential issues that came to mind. The final project cost was identical to the original estimate.
Description of Work: Removed paving brick from an exposed front porch slab that had been there for about five years, cleaned mortar from underlying concrete slab, installed a portland cement bed on slab for new brick that improved the pitch so that water will not stand, installed new paving brick and mortar. Minor repairs to a mortared brick walkway were also made.
