Orlando came to evaluate our toilet after it was experiencing some issues. It was a quick consultation and everything was able to be resolved quickly.
We had a bad leak from our guest bathroom late afternoon & called Baker and Sons. To start, they were the only company out of 4, that I called , that had an actual person answer the phone and not AI.

Alex was amazing. He was able to help diagnose a problem that could have been terrible if left unchecked. He went above and beyond. We were hesitant about needing a pro, but it was worth it. I couple of fixes saved us thousands down the road. He was knowledge about so many topics. 5 stars!!!!
James Kelley was professional, thorough, answered all my questions and concerns about my drainage problems. He also was so honest in that he did not sell me a sump pump when I didn’t need one, even though he knew I was ready to buy. That shows a lot on integrity. Tuni

Update: 8/26/2025: My house is 100 years old, so you can imagine that things go wrong (often). I call Barker & Sons every time I am having an issue. This time, they had to do a drain re-pipe on the backside of my house. It was an extensive project, and Sam, Luke, Bo, and Corey got the job done efficiently and…
I have a suspected slab leak and called out Barker and son's to see if they could find out where it is coming from Jonathan took a ton of time listening to me and truly doing a lot of investigative work.
