I contacted Mr Barker to get a quote to have my basement finished. He mentioned already having my number in his phone. I had some work done upstairs a few years prior and realized after hanging up from him that they had quoted the upstairs work and the basement. I didn't call him back to say I had the quote because I assumed they would need to re-quote the job. Mr Barker sent me a text message 10 minutes before he was scheduled to meet me at my house to say he wasn't coming because they had quoted the job before. I asked if the quote would be the same and his response was that he wasn't interested in the job because I didn't remember his company from several years ago (which I did after I hung up the phone). This was really unprofessional. I surely will remember his company name now...I will remember it so that I make sure never to give them any business and let me friends and family know not to use them. In the future Mr Barker, figure out this information sooner than a few minutes before you are supposed to meet a client. You could have called or email me to clarify and maybe you could have earned yourself some business.

Joe Barker and his associates were amazing! Very professional, fantastic customer service and communications skills. All the repairs were impeccably done. Really went the extra mile to talk with our home owners insurance to get them the paperwork they needed in order to release our reimbursement. I have worked with 4 other contractors, prior to Mr. Barker, on various other home renovations (bathrooms, kitchens, hardwood floor installation, etc.) and Mr. Barker is the most excellent contractor that we've worked with for renovation projects. We are recommending him to our family and friends.
Description of Work: Repaired 3 rooms that had water damage from a burst water pipe. It included dry-wall replacement, insulation replacement, painting, carpet replacement, base board replacement, and repair of plumbing.
Joe is very attentive to his customers and he kept us continually informed about their progress. He was great at proposing solutions to unforeseen problems and managing the myriad details and personnel involved in such a renovation. The project was carefully and compactly scheduled and they finished pretty much as planned. All the work was well coordinated and we ended up with a beautiful kitchen! We especially appreciated his attention to detail, making sure that every piece of work was well done. We would definitely recommend Looking Up Construction and plan to use them for other projects in the future.
Description of Work: Joe Barker coordinated a complete kitchen renovation working with Ideal Cabinets (for kitchen design and cabinetry), DeHart Tile for flooring, and subcontractors for electrical work and drywall installation. Looking Up team tore out soffits, pantry, & ceiling; installed ceiling joists, painted, installed appliances, replaced door hardware, and numerous other tasks.

I called Looking Up for a gutter quote and he referred to some other companies. He explained what he did and followed up an email of services. Was very pleasant and professional. Even though didn't use for any work, wanted to comment since most positive ones get lost. Thank you.
