Besides having a bid that was almost twice the other guy's bid and being told there was only one way they could do the work when the other bid listed two ways, I decided this company was not one I wanted to do business with. The poor grade is from the bait and switch for the estimate fee. I consider this to be dishonest.
Description of Work: A man came out to give me a bid. The appointment lady said the charge to give me a bid would be $39. When the guy came out he tried to tell me it was $39 for the trip and another $20 for the estimate.

Response from Baker Brothers Plumbing, Air & Electric
I apologize regarding the confusion about the $39.00 trip fee. I did pull the call to make sure the CSR explained it correctly. The CSR did explain that the $39.00's was a trip fee, and that the technician would give the upfront price for any diagnostic testing or repairs needed. We may need to change how we communicate the trip fee to avoid any further confusion. If you would like to discuss this, my name is Tamara and I can be reached at 214-324-8811.

I had an outside water line burst. I called several plumbers, but Baker Brothers was the only company that could come out the next day. Corey replaced the old iron pipes and hydrants and insulated everything. Great work. He also made the cover on the meter easier for me to remove. Thanks, Corey!

Job handled very well. Michael M. reviewed all the work to be done. He gave me an estimate prior to the work being performed. The cost was higher than the work would suggest because my home Is older and additional work was needed to update/correct existing plumbing in the bathroom and the kitchen. This came as no surprise to me. Michael M. handle the work professionally and efficiently.

In a panic, we ran to Lowe's and looked at water heaters. They told us that due to the holiday, they wouldn't be able to install for two days. We came home and I called Baker Bros. They told me that they would be able to install that afternoon!! I realize that I most likely had to pay extra since it was last minute and on a holiday but I really didn't care. They showed up and were very pleasant and took their job seriously. I used Baker Bros. once before and will absolutely use them again in the future.

They did good work but it ended up being a lot more money to repair than I originally thought with the discovery of the other two leaks. but I was glad they found that so it would be fixed right. The entire job took 3 full days. It was a large job, but I wish they had let me know they could be there up to 3 days. That would have mentally prepared me for how long it was going to take. Im sure it's a guessing game though. All of the workers were very polite and punctual.
Description of Work: Repair of a slab leak. Initially the drain line from the shower pan had become disconnected, but after fixing that, they discovered another 2 sewer line leaks in the same area.

Our cast iron sewer pipes rotted out and we had raw sewage under the house. After a lengthy drying out process by another company, we brought in Baker Bros to replace the pipes. Josh with Baker had to dig out the pipes and tree roots, install new PVC pipe and fittings and put everything back together while working under my house. Josh was by far the most competent, conscientious and kind plumber we have ever used. Not only did he spend long hours in a cramped space, he thoroughly checked all my sinks and toilets to make sure there were no leaks under the house. And, he quickly adjusted a leaky toilet and fixed a clogged sink at no extra charge. He explained what he was doing several times to me and also to my wife and never seemed annoyed or impatient. (I am a little dense when it comes to plumbing issues) Very pleased overall with Baker Bros and especially Josh.
Description of Work: Had approx 60' of sewer pipe replaced under our pier and beam house.

From the start there were concerns but reviews were generally positive. I called and made the first appointment available 2 days in future. Got a call next day saying they made a mistake and could not be out for an additional 2 days or 4 days from call. When repairman arrived he looked at the situation and also assumed it was the hose based on closer inspection and water damage in cabinet. Next he began to remove the front plate on bottom of dishwasher. Unfortunately he did not have a star driver which is required and began to try and remove with pliers. I provided him the correct tool prior to his stripping the screws. After looking at it for another 15 minutes he appeared not to know how to remove the washer to get access to the hose in the back. He then made several trips back to the truck to call in and also to make calls to see if he could find a place to get a replacement hose. In addition, it was a rainy and muddy day and instead of taking his shoe covers off when he went out and putting them on when he came back in he just left them on and tracked mud all over the house. I guess he did not understand the concept. After an additional 20 minutes or more he said that we should call an appliance repair shop because he would have to charge $500 to replace a $5 hose and he did not know where to get one. repairman's lack of professionalism. Perhaps Baker Brothers does a good job on major plumbing repairs or maybe this employee is not qualified to be employed but I would certainly not use them for any kind of leaks that involve an appliance. I would not use them for anything just do to the

I had heard good recommendations for this company. I set an appointment. They arrived and started searching for a slab leak which you could hear with your unaided ear. After 3 hours of searching they gave up and could not determine where the leak was. They summarily charged me close to $300 for their failed effort. The next company I called found the leak in 20 minutes and had completed the work in under 3 hours. I would not recommend Baker Brothers for slab leaks.

There is a local plumbing company, which calls itself the ?punctual plumber.? That is not Baker Brothers Plumbing. Our repair took three service calls. On the first two days, we received courtesy call indicating they would be here in 30 ? 45 minutes. In both cases they actually arrived about two hours later. I have to admit that the weather was turning bad on the day of the first call and we we?re still recovering from the icy roads on the day of the second call, so I could understand the tardiness. On the third day, we received the call but they said it could be up to an hour before they would arrive. On that day they actually made it in about 30 - 45 minutes. We called them for a water leak in our kitchen on a Wednesday. The earliest they could schedule a service call was the next day (Thursday) in the afternoon. That technician was able to determine there was a hot water leak in the foundation slab. The earliest they could schedule the repair was the next Monday. In the mean time he showed us how to turn the hot water on and off so that we wouldn?t have a constant leak. He also gave us three estimates for the repair work depending upon how many holes needed to be made and whether they needed to dig through a beam in the foundation. We were told they should be here around 8:30 to 9:00 AM on Monday and that they would call 30 minutes in advance. That Monday when we hadn?t received a call by 9:30 AM, I called them. I was told that we were scheduled for Tuesday not Monday as we were told. Not only were we forced to go an additional day without hot water on demand, but also we had to arrange to be home for a second day. (My wife and I were on vacation from work this week, so we didn?t miss any work, but we had to cancel a trip we had planned to the gulf coast.) Perhaps I?m being a little severe in my criticism of their punctuality since we were experiencing icy roads, but the Monday versus Tuesday scheduling mix-up really made me mad. They were not able to complete the repair on Tuesday, so our repair went into a third day. On the third day, they accidentally cut into the cold water pipe, so for several hours we had no water in the house. In Baker Brothers? commercials they say they can ?solve all your plumbing problems in the same call.? Obviously this was not the case for our leak, which took three service calls. All the technicians were very neat. On the second call when they had to jack hammer into our foundation slab, they laid down a path of drop cloths so they could carry their equipment in and the debris out. The even removed the remaining ice from our front walk. (This was probably for their own safety.) Our final cost was the middle of the three estimates. (They only dug one whole but they had to dig through a beam.) Bottom line is that I think they did a good job, but I am unhappy about the amount of time it took. I first called on Wednesday morning at it was the next Tuesday evening before our plumbing was repaired.

It went very well. We have had Kyle out before and were as pleased with his work this time as last. One thing he did was provide each job two estimates before beginning work; one for replacement and a second for repair. Non-the-less I was hit with sticker shock. This must be common because the company has an advertisement that lists all the things that go into the cost of running their business. I find this a little disingenuous since any business has the same costs. Non-the-less the overall "A" rating still applies.

Prompt response to call. The kitchen sink was nearly over flowing with nasty backup (including cat food remains) The plumber was prompt and continued to work while I was on a conference call. He unstopped the drain by taking the everything apart and cleaning it out. After clearing the line, he carefully cleaned up the mess under the cabinet and gave me a 30 day warranty if I managed to stop it up again in the next month. Very thorough and professional. I was very pleased and will definitely call Baker Brothers again.
