Baker Roofing Co

It was ordered in May , it is now September. we get one excuse after another. Maybe it will be done someday

like clockwork

Rep came to house and surveyed what I wanted done, promised a written estimate the next afternoon, never showed up & never called. I called about 10 days later and was told they did not want to fool with me.

What I appreciated most about Taylor was his honesty and candidness. He gave me straightforward advice from a neutral point of view (including things that didn't benefit his pocket to tell me). I had a small leak that only dripped when it rained a long time or really hard, and was coming from near the bathroom exhaust vent. I knew it wasn't going through the vent because I could see it drip through the attic when I poked my head up to look during a heavy storm. I wanted to get that fixed right away, and I also wanted to learn more about the condition of the roof. The housing inspector wasn't impressed with it when I was in contract to buy this home, so getting a roofer's advice was just as important to me as getting the leak fixed. He went up on the roof and took pictures, then came back down. He said I had a second roof on top of an older roof, which is fine but that I can't do a third on top of that so when it's time later to replace the roof I should plan on it being $8000 or so. He also said the roof wasn't done very well. The cuts were rough and imprecise, and the notches around roof penetrations were way off. That meant there were gaps between the flashing and the shingles in a lot of places. It was good enough to not leak except in this one place, but not the greatest work overall. He also said that the flashing and labor was expensive enough that it didn't make sense to do much pro-active messing around with any of the deficiencies he identified except for the one place that was leaking. Some of the flashing would be hundreds of dollars per part, and his crew's minimum charge is $500 per visit, so he was more interested in being my choice for the eventual roof replacement. Taylor told me he could have his guys fix the leak for $500 if I couldn't find someone more affordable for that job, since all I really needed to stop the leak was some caulk to seal the bad cuts around the bathroom vent's flashing. What was also useful to me was that he wagered a guess that the roof might last 5 to 7 more years, which lets me know how much I need to save up and what my timeline might be. In the meantime, he suggested to just do the minimal repairs only if something becomes a problem. He also said that since the electrical masthead and chimney pipe go outside the main walls of the house, they might be low priorities so I could hold off and save that money aside. I was very glad for the terrific advice Taylor gave me. I got the impression he would be the right person to call when I'm ready to replace the roof since he has such an attention to detail. That's something I appreciate because I'm planning on owning this house long-term rather than "flipping" it.

It was good. They had to come back a couple of times to fix it because it was hard but they did it .

They did an excellent job. They were capable. It was very positive. They have a fair price. They came out very quickly.

I would have liked them to paint the broad before they had put it up but I was told that they don't do that i think that I paid to much money for that.
