"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."

I offer general repairs, maintenance, and installation of almost anything. I prefer to work alone, as I do not tolerate excuses for not showing up for work. If it is a larger job than I would take on alone, I do not have employees (for that reason), but do have preferred and reputable sub contractors in which I can work with. You will receive one price, contract, and all work is guaranteed. I accept all major credit cards, third party billing such as an insurance company, and personal checks are negotiable.
