BAKER BUILDING SERVICES

We were disappointed on our kitchen remodel. We had to point out many deficiencies to get them addressed. Paint runs, overspray on ceiling and walls, failure to put up barriers to keep dust contained, discarding an expensive chandelier we wanted to re-use, discarding the leftover tile that I wanted to keep for future needs that might arise, cabinets mounted off level, poor standards on work quality (exposed nails, unpainted areas on cabinets,etc)nI received eight bids on the job and Baker was second from the highest. I ignored some bad reviews because we felt he was attentive and had high standards. He said we wouldn’t be able to tell our repurposed cabinets from new. If you’re particular on cabinets being level, professional paint quality and things being done the right way, you may be let down.nThe proper permits were not applied for. I noticed that no one from the city was inspecting the electrical work. Brant told me he pulled the permit, but the city said otherwise when I called them.nLater on, Brant told my wife that I stated he didn’t need to pull the permit. This is a fabrication.nAfter demanding that the proper permit was pulled, a licensed electrician inspected the work done by the unlicensed employee and the city was gracious enough to permit the work, after the fact, without ordering them to demo the walls and flooring to inspect. This could’ve gone badly. As a licensed contractor they are bound by law to pull appropriate permits. We, as the homeowner, would have to disclose to any potential buyer that work was done that wasn’t permitted or inspected. Add that our insurance company wouldn’t have to pay a dime if we suffered a loss related to out of code wiring as a result of their uninspected, unlicensed work. He made changes to our cabinet layout, without our consent, resulting in an abundance of drawers and a shortage of cabinets. We were promised a drawing of the cabinet layout for our approval that never happened. We regret our decision to trust our renovation to this builder. I’m hiring a professional painter to redo the cabinets.nA kitchen remodel is stressful enough when all goes to plan. Add poor communication, low quality work, skirting regulation and going five weeks past the completion date estimate and you put stress on top of stress.

Don’t use this guy he talks the talk but can’t walk the walk hires other people to do his work and doesn’t pay them to avoid any headaches do not hire this man he is very sketchy and is a master at nothing but ripping people off!
