The work was done but he had to leave 3 times to get the right size housing to put in the wall. He did OK on it. When he was welding he melted the plastic housing and had to go get another one. He got it done but it took longer than it should have.
Description of Work: I used Baker Brothers Plumbing & Air Conditioning to fix a leak behind our refrigerator. The water line to the ice maker , that valve to the wall was leaking so they came in and replace the valve.

Would not do business with this company
Description of Work: Had hot water heater replaced. The tech asked me to run the water to airate the line. A bunch of sediment came out of the line and clogged my tub drain. I asked him if he would snake it real quick. He said it would be an extra $135.00 to snake the drain. I said forget it I would do it myself. Also the company was running a promotion of a $100.00 dollar discount for water heater replacements which was not taken off of my bill. After ten phone calls (no exaggeration ) and finally talking to two manager types Craig and Doug I finally received my refund check three weeks later. Craig also stated that the tech should not have asked for $135.00 after me spending $1084.00 on the job. In years past I have had my water heater replaced by Home Depot for a chaeper price and less hassle . Baker Bros. needs to reevaluate how they do business with a self proclaimed good reputation. I will have Home Depot replace my water heaters in the future again. Be very cautious when doing business with this company.

it was great. I had old hardware in my bath/shower combination and he was able to find a company in the local area that had the replacement parts needed to replace them. I was very pleased with the results. I did think the price was somewhat high for putting in the hardware since i bought the hardware and all they did was replace it. I have never used another plumber so i can't say whether they were competitive or not with other plumbing prices. He was very professional and arrived the same day i called and was very punctual. I would use them again.

plumbing, drain cleaning

We have an old house with, what appears to be, an old toilet in our powder room. Recently, we noticed slow draining of the bowl, frequent clogging, and overflows nearly 50% of the use. We called Baker Brothers to fix the toilet. The first fellow arrived on time, threw a couple of sheets of TP in the bowl, and flushed it (very scientific and absolutely replicating the challenge a bowel movement might present, I might say), told my wife ,"This is how old toilets are. You should consider replacing it. Here is a bid for $600". Wonderful and entirely unhelpful. I came home and the toilet overflowed twice that evening alone. This is not how this "old toilet has been", and I refuse to believe what the repairman, after his series of "tests", determined. I called Baker Brothers and told them I was entirely unsatisfied with their plumber's diagnostic skills. After a fairly lengthy discussion of me reviewing the possible causes of the problem (i.e., inflow volume or rates of filling, outflow rates of egress) and why some of the possibilities have been ruled out, they agreed to send a more senior plumber. Lo and behold, he discovered one of the potential problems we discussed; it was due to outflow obstruction from my wife throwing "toilet disposable" kids bottom wipes (apparently nothing artificial is safe to put in the toilet except TP). He removed the obstruction, told her that my toilet had an odd tight turn in the piping in the crawlspace, and it has worked like new since then. So, I would give the first repairman an "F" since he did not practice good diagnostics, did not diagnose the problem, and was decidedly unhelpful in recommending an expensive toilet replacement that would have done nothing to fix the pipe obstruction and its predisposition to clogging from the tight turn. I would give the second plumber an "A" for taking the problem seriously, diagnosing it properly, fixing the problem, and finding the contributing factor (e.g., the tight turn in the pipe). I would hire the second plumber again, but not the first.

The plumber was very knowledgeable and timely responsive. The subcontractor they used for the trenching also was responsive. The only dificulty with the work was the repair to the sprinkler system which occurred during trenching. They had no problem fixing it but they didn't insure that all the damaged sprinkler heads were properly working. I felt the price quoted for the entire job by Baker Bros. was very high. It was Friday afternoon and we had no water service so there was not a lot of time to get competitive bids. After signing the contract, the plumber offered a contract to be purchased that would enable a 15% discount, which economicaly was a no brainer. It seems their strategy is to sell the discount contract which will entice the customer to use them in the future to get a 15% discount on future work. This is a good deal only if their original quote is competitive, and not overpriced.

My shower handle broke and cause the shower valve to stick open. To make matters worse, I was unable to unlock the water meter at the street with a key because the lock was jammed. My water ran for about four hours because I couldn't turn off the water to main house. I tried turning off the broken shower valve using needle-nose pliers and other tool, but it wouldn't work. I called plummer after plummer in Angie's List, trying to find one that answered their phones after hours to help with an emergency. I had hired Baker Brother's once before, and it was the only company that answered the phone after hours. The lady on the phone from Baker Brothers tracked down a plumber for me that night and called me back. She warned me that there would be an extra $200 charge on top of additional labor and parts charges for the visit since it was after normal hours. The technician who came out was very professional and friendly. It took him about two hours to repair the broken handle and install a new valve sleeve. Fortunately, I had an extra shower handle that matched, so the only part he supplied was a valve sleeve. Baker Brothers may be more expensive than other plumbers, but it is the only plumbing company that answers its phone at night and can help you in an emergency situation.

Called early in the morning, transferred twice, andI explained what I needed done and was told someone would be out the same afternoon. No one came out, nor was there an phone call to explain why. This company may be under two different names and phone numbers. The website with the matching phone number I had was listed as Baker Brothers Plumbing and Air Conditioning. No address provided. Angie's List has a second company under the name of Baker's Brothers Plumbing. Different address and phone number. Very confusing.

I am sorry to hear that you had an issue getting service last week. Unfortunately, we are not the same Baker Brothers that you called. I pulled our phone calls and checked our database and we do not have any information for you. I did however, find that you had actually called Baker Brothers Services. They are a complete different company then us. I actually spoke to one of their representatives this morning and confirmed that you are one of their customers and that was them that you had contacted. The rep that I spoke to said they would contact you today and make sure that you are taken are of. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything that we can do for you.

I am sorry that you are having issues with your toilet. I pulled your work order and saw that we pulled and reset the toilet and replaced your supply line in December 2011. I also noticed, the technician did give you a one year warranty on all work performed. I have gone back and checked our records and do not show that you have ever called us regarding any issues with the work we did. Again, I apologize that you had an issue and I wish you would have called so that we could have taken care of it for you.

Great! Very professional, great quote, did exactly what they bid. Got a call after they had returned to shop indicating they had one extra air vent - did we see any that had not been replaced? We had - they apologized and came out the next day to install it. Class act. Would definitely recommend Thanks, Katherine and Bob Weeks

We began calling on Baker Brothers in 2009 after a series of drain blockages and other minor plumbing needs. Baker Brothers is always punctual and you can often get an appointment same day or within 24 hours, for non-emergency plumbing needs. Their prices are a bit higher than going with a sole proprietor, but their professionalism (Baker Brothers plumbers always wear booties when entering your house and do a very thorough clean up after their work) is top-notch. And, they welcome Angie's List members and Angie's List discounts/coupons, making their fees more reasonable. We've only had one so-so experience and that was with the plumber sent to quote us on our master bathroom sink drain fitting. We did a new sink, cabinet and faucet install, but quickly found out the P-trap fitting was 1.25 inches versus 1.5 inches (at the wall). The plumber quoted us a $300 charge to do the fitting and install the sink, drain and faucet; our gut instinct told us "no." We were right....a $2 part from Home Depot and 5 minutes of advice from the Home Depot employee was the right way to go. We installed it ourselves for far less money. I chalk this up to the plumbers having to quote off price lists as part of their standard operating procedure. The best advice I can give is, use Baker Brothers for jobs you'd rather not do yourself and you will be quite pleased. And, don't forget to ask questions and feel confident the work and advice you are getting meets your expectations. Worst case, you get a quote and do it yourself!

They did fantastic. They were expensive but they were good. I liked them when they put our water heater in they were really good and quick and easy to deal with. You kind of get the feeling that you are not being cheated. They are expensive but everybody else is expensive. Sometime I feel if you go cheaper you are just going to have troubles. And plumbing is just something you don't want to have troubles with. I chose them over another company who wasn't responsive. I just thought Baker Brothers was better for the job. They left it pretty neat.
Description of Work: Baker Brothers Plumbing & Air Conditioning we used for plumbing and we used them for our water heater. At that time what they did was they picked up our vanity sink to put flooring put in. And the replaced the toilet and the sink for us.

There were two visits involved. The first was to determine the root of the problem, which was a leaking sink when the disposal was used. Turns out the disposal was very old, and showed signs of neglect. The second visit was to replace the disposal for us. No issues since the install. Overall very happy with the service. No complaints.

I discovered a river flowing down my front yard Saturday morning. I turned off the water at the meter and called Baker Brothers based on other Angie's List reviews. The lady answering the phone was very polite and understood the problem. I was pleased to find out they could repair it on Saturday. She told me they would call 30-45 minutes before the technicians arrived. Got a call back at 11:30 and the repair guys showed up at noon. The 2 service guys were also very polite and knowledgeable. They dug up a 4x3 foot section of the flooded yard and found the leak which was about half way between the water meter and the house. They repaired the leak, covered the hole, and were on their way within 2 hours. I was very happy with the fast and efficient service. I will definitely use this company again.

We bought a house in March and it seemed as if the previous owner hated the water taps because they were all busted. Baker Brothers came out assessed the situation and went to work. They had to cut out and replace the drywall below the taps in both the washroom and behind the fridge to replace the taps. In the master bath shower it was a custom unit with the sprayer nozzles in the wall and the valve was made by a manufacture that is high end and hard to find. Baker Brothers special ordered the parts and installed them a week later. Overall excellent job guys.
