"I would recommend this company for asbestos abatement. I was very grateful that they were able to help me in such short notice to remove the asbestos when another company did not show. I thought their price was pretty fair and was told by the mold testing company that they do good work. I would not hire this company to do anything else. I was in a bind and got a quote on what it would be to mud and paint the ceiling and paint the house. I was very very unhappy with the quality of the work of the painters he hired. I feel I should have been deeply reimbursed or discounted because the paint job was so bad. They got plaster everywhere on my kitchen cabinets and are unable to remove it so I must just look at it. They did not replace some of my lights and there are cracks in the seems and every worker I have comments on how bad the paint job is. Very dissapointed that I spent so much money for that. They came out to try and fix it and it was not even fixed. Maybe a little better on the ceilings. It was extremely hard to get the electrician that I hired through them to come up and finish the job here in Charleston. I believe he lived a few hours away and everything was just a headache. He was unable to find a certain part and I ended up having to research and find it online. We lost at least a week while he was looking for that."

"Awesome. They came on time and completed the job within the next week. The play set looks great (brand new) and my windows are no longer leaking water. I will definitely hire again."

"Needed mold removed from my ac system and vents called American air LLC they promptly came out and gave me a quote on the scheduled day they showed up on time and did a wonderful job cleaned everything and now I can breathe so much better"

"The guy was really nice and easy. They were quick and their website was really good."

"Baker&Taylor LLC took on a very difficult house reconstruction project that was accomplished through two contracts.

• They saved significant costs by working out a method of reconstruction that did not require a separate house lifting contract.
• They provided good value workmanship.
• Change order pricing was fair.  
• The contractor was flexible in resolving detailed design issues, and was enthusiastic about the challenge of the project, as well as proposing creative design solutions that were incorporated into the project. 
• This contractor - Soren Smelz-Taylor - can be trusted to follow through on his commitments.

This was a very difficult project - the entire original wood frame foundation was replaced with a single pour integrated concrete slab and footing.  The original wood foundations had failed. There was significant settlement of the bearing walls; and the house frame had to be jacked up, stabilized, and reinforced before the concrete foundation was formed and then placed.  A laminated beam frame, to support the second floor, replaced the original frame walls and opened up the first floor area to facilitate rehabilitation. The owner resided on the second floor while all the work was done.

There was a second contract to replace the roof and install new fiber cement siding over a rain screen system.  The house front wall was finished with a unique coffered panel design that the contractor developed and refined in order to install an integrated sliding garage door, as well as fit with the other building elements such as windows and entry stairway. 

The end result of this work is a born again house. The original house was decrepit and close to a demolition project because of it's structural condition. Baker&Taylor turned it into a very attractive home that now has a future."
