We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"We were referred to Bill by someone working on our house, and we’re so glad we reached out. He responded immediately—which is rare these days—and provided a clear, reasonable estimate. We agreed to move forward that same day. The waterproofing work was excellent. Bill’s crew was professional, friendly, and happy to answer any questions we had throughout the process. Their concrete work was top-notch, and they left the space clean and tidy when the job was done. They also took the time to walk us through everything they had completed, making sure we understood each step. It’s been a month since the work was finished, and we’ve already had a couple of major rainstorms—including one with rainfall hitting 3 inches per hour. In the past, that kind of weather would’ve guaranteed a wet basement. But now? Not a single drop. We couldn’t be happier with the results. I can’t recommend them any higher. 5-stars+. "

"I feel like this company has been lying to me from the beginning. In March of 2024 they gave me a quote for $2800 to have my driveway paved. I agreed. When they got here they said they did a test and the ground on my driveway wasn't compressed enough even though 3/4 of it was concrete already and I was having them cover the concrete and grass on the sides of the tire paths. They said they had to lay 4" extra inches of asphalt so it didn't crack and told me $3800. I said that's outrageous and we worked out $3500. I was here the day they did it and as soon as I saw them pulling trucks out I went down to check it out. I have natural stone walls on both sides of the driveway and there is no way they laid 4" of asphalt total let alone 4 inches extra. They had also laid the asphalt directly even with the lip of the garage. The driveway slopes down to the garage so I knew water was going to get into the garage if there was a heavy rain. I asked the same day before they even left if they would just add a little lip in front of the garage to keep the water out. They insisted they were doing more work on my street and they would come back in the next week or 2 to do it. Fast forward to now, September of 2025, over a year and a half later and countless texts and phone calls of promising me I was their top priority, and I slipped through the cracks, and the business had gone through some leadership changes, and that it was the first time the owner was hearing of this even though I had spoke directly to him before. Multiple times he said they would come out and add this small lip and I didn't need to be there and they didn't need access to water or electric. It was all B.S. and through all of this they never once reached out to me. It was all me contacting them except when I told them I was going to write a bad review. Once again lies and broken promises for the last few months since then. I will never use this company again or recommend them to anyone."

"We had our basement waterproofed by Baker's. It's been bone-dry since. We did have one piece of equipment fail within a month of the installation, but it was a third party dehumidifier that was just a dud I guess, no fault of Baker's. I texted the project manager about it on a Sunday. I expected a response the following week. He got back to me within the hour. The equipment was removed and replaced within a couple days. Everything great since. I would highly recommend Baker's, but specifically our project manager Nathan Goddard and the head guy on site Daylan. Can't remember his last name, but he's got a long beard and did a great job. Thanks to both of them and the rest of the guys."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.

Most classic red bricks can last 20 to 40 years without major repairs or renovations. If brick is maintained, it can easily last 100 to 150 years. When weighing brick vs. brick veneer, homeowners are often surprised to learn that even thin veneers can be expected to last 50 to 100 years.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.
