Description of Work: They put a roof on our house September 05. It leaked in January 06. They came out & put a tarp on it. It blew off. They returned to put more nails & said they'd repair when weather improved. They came 2 more times to fix tarp & promised to repair. By May, not having it done & all the while trying to reach them, we went to their place of business & spoke to John Baker, the owner. He once again promised to repair in 3 weeks. Never showed & never called. We called Marion County for help since he was licensed & bonded. They found out he was only bonded in Beech Grove. We live in Washington Township. As fate would have it we had hail damage again in April 06. We have contracted with another company who is doing a wonderful job. Anyone dealing with Baker Enterprises has to have their head examined. They are totally dishonest & we've since found, totally incompetent. Much of the work they did a year ago was incorrect. They were recommended by Gutter Cover. So much for them too.

In summary, look very carefully at company's. This company was called Red Bird Roofing at the time. Same owners. So if you dont want to have to pay for a vet to take roofing nails out of your pets paws, and you want a good job done on your homes roof, do not call this company. It was a total NIGHTMARE! It is something we will never forget, ever!
Description of Work: They were hired and paid to tear off old layer of roof and decking complete tearoff. They did that and put new decking and new shingles on. There still was a water leak coming in around the fireplace. Every time it rained it would leak. Every time it leaked we would call them. Jo Baker would send out one of her guys to fix leak and he would slap some black pitch on it. She was so tired of hearing from my wife, my wife called the BBB on her and when it came time for arbitration, she said, hire another contractor and I will pay him. So we did just that. He built a "cricket" in the trouble spot and it has not leaked since. He told us every roofer should have known what to do. They worked on this job for 6 weeks.

IN SUMMARY, BEWARE OF LOW BIDS. I ORIGINALLY SPOKE WITH THE COMPANY OWNER WHO SEEMED VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CONSCIENTIOUS. ORIGINAL WORK WAS (DONE) ON TIME AS AGREED. SHINGLE REPLACEMENT WAS OKAY BUT DECKING LOOKED CRAPPY COMPARED TO ORIGINAL. THERE WERE GAPS WHERE PANELS SHOULD MEET, BROKEN PANEL ENDS AND NUMEROUS MISPLACED NAILS STICKING OUT, EXHIBITING GENERAL LOUSY WORKMANSHIP. THE REPLACED SOFFIT PANELS FIT POORLY AND SILICONE CAULK (PAINT WON'T STICK) WAS USED TO FILL IN GAPS. THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS RE-INSTALLED IN A NEW SOFFIT PANEL BUT WIRING NOT RECONNECTED. NO OPENING WAS CUT OUT FOR VENT GRILL, WHICH HAD BEEN WAS POORLY TACKED ONTO NEW SOFFIT. I CONTACTED THE OWNER TWICE WHO SAID SOMEONE WOULD COME TO FIX THE PANEL GAPS. FINALLY, AFTER TWO MORE WEEKS OF WAITING, A WORKER FINALLY CAME TO FIX GAPS IN THE SOFFIT PANEL, BUT ONLY AFTER MY ATTORNEY SENT A LETTER REQUESTING REPAIRS. FED-UP, I FIXED THE VENT OPENING AND LIGHT WIRING MYSELF.
Description of Work: REMOVED AND REPLACED CARPORT ROOF SHINGLES, DECKING AND ONE SUPPORT POST. REPLACE WATER DAMAGED CORNER SOFFIT PANELS ON HOUSE.

I WOULD HIRE THIS COMPANY AGAIN WITHOUT RESERVATION. IT'S SMALL AND FAMILY OWNED, AND WHILE IT TOOK A BIT LONGER TO DO THE JOB THAN I EXPECTED, THE WORK WAS EXCELLENT. THESE GENTLEMEN WERE POLITE, PUNCTUAL, AND WILLING TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. THE WORK WAS OF GOOD QUALITY, AND THEY DID A PHENOMENAL JOB CLEANING UP AFTER THEMSELVES. WHEN I NEEDED TO RESCHEDULE THE JOB, THEY WERE VERY COOPERATIVE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Description of Work: THEY STRAIGHTENED MY LEANING 2-CAR WOODEN GARAGE, REINFORCED IT WITH NEW BEAMS ACROSS THE STUDS, INSTALLED NEW CROSS TIES, AND INSTALLED VINYL SIDING.

HE SAID THAT HE WOULD COME BY AND CHECK IT OUT. I ASKED IF HE NEEDED THE GARAGE DOOR OPENED AND HE SAID NO. HE CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT THE GARAGE NEEDED TO BE MOVED 4 FEET OF THE LINE, LET ME KNOW THE GARAGE DOOR WAS NOT INSULATED, SAID THAT IT WOULD TAKE 60 DAYS, AND SAID IT WOULD COST $12,000. HE SAID IF I WANTED HIM TO, HE COULD MAIL SOMETHING TO ME ABOUT IT. I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS A GOOD WAY TO DO BUSINESS.

IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO HAVE ONLY TAKEN 2 DAYS, BUT THEY WERE WORKING ON TWO JOBS AT THE TIME SO THEY WORKED 4 HOURS EACH DAY FOR 3 DAYS. THEY USED THEIR TRUCK FOR THE TEAR OFF INSTEAD OF A DUMPSTER. I THOUGHT IT LOOKED BETTER THAN HAVING A DUMPSTER IN THE YARD.
