A real down-to-earth and honest roofer. Jim was able to come out the next day to assess the problems I was having with my roof. After reviewing the work, he was able to give me a quote on the spot and followed up next day with an itemized proposal by email with the quote. He was able to squeeze in the work within the next couple of business days as I needed the work done quickly before my new tenants moved in. He estimated the work to take about 6-7 hours and it took a little longer. It took 7.5 hours with the cleanup. It was a hot, sweltering day but he was very professional and worked without complaint! I said honest earlier because I asked him if there was any hail damage. He said "no", while I've had others tell me that I had damage. He's a find and I now have a roofer to call on without hesitation! read more

Jim Baker and Kevin Malloy are the best! We had recently purchased a 1800 sf townhouse and the roof was long overdue for a replacement and so our home inspector referred us to Baker Roofing Company. After an initial consultation, they confirmed that the roof had to go and so we scheduled an appointment to have the entire roof replaced. They showed up on time as promised and were able to tear out the old roof and install new boards, shingles, and vent caps over the course of a day. All construction materials were cleaned up and removed from the site; you could barely tell that they had been there and they even left our patio cleaner than it had been. We were impressed by their punctuality, friendliness, professional attitudes, and reasonable prices and we would highly recommend hiring them as your next roofing company. read more

This review is not about the services, but rather the lack of them. I found him through another review site when I was searching for a roofer for a water leak. He was prompt in contacting me and setting up an appointment. His workers came out and seemed knowledgable about the source of the leak and said that I would receive an estimate. He must have won the lottery or had too much work, because I never did receive an estimate. I even texted him about a week later, and he responded that he would get me an estimate that night. However, I never did receive an estimate from him, so I went with another one of the roofers I interviewed. read more

He wasn't willing to give me an estimate because I didn't hire him for another job last yr....nice guy but this doesn't bode well

Jim Baker and his crew are professional and courteous. Most importantly, they do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. They worked hard all day and got my new roof on. They cleaned up the mess and did exactly as they promised. If you're looking for a new roof for a great price, Jim Baker is your man. I recommend Jim Baker without any hesitation because from start to finish, he did as he promised...and the new roof looks great. THANKS. read more

Before proceeding with roof replacement I contacted several roofing companies to provide estimate. This is what I found out: 1. I was pressured by owner/representative of one of largest roofing companies in NOVA to sign the contract to replace the entire roof. The representative stated that " the roof is leaking and need to be replaced ASAP". He stated that he can get it done within 5 days. When I said that there is no evidence of the leak, he stated that "I can't see it yet, although it would be noticeable really soon". I trusted the professionals and was anxious and stressed by the news and signed the contact right away. Although, discussed a right to void the contact if I change my mind. WARNING: THE REPRESENTATIVE/OWNER NEVER ACTUALLY CLIMB PHYSICALLY TO LOOK PHYSICALLY AT MY ROOF. Then it clicked how did he know if he never seen the roof from top, he only saw the roof from the ground, which is 3 levels town house. HE DIDN'T SEE THE ROOF , HE LIED TO PRESSURE ME TO SIGN THE CONTRACT. I'm not going to disclose the name of the roofing company, just want to let you know that its' one of the biggest in NOVA. 2. Second roofing company owner never climb the roof but gladly offered me to replace the entire roof. Gladly, this time I wasn't pressured to sign contact and the representative /owner didn't lie saying that my roof is leaking. I just didn't have good feelings about that company. 3. Then I was lucky to find Jim Baker's roofing company. I called him almost crying to cancel the appraisal appointment stating that my roof is leaking as was stated by previous assessment and needs to be fixed ASAP and that I already signed the contract. He said that looks like I was pressured by sales professionals to sign the contact, which he was right I was! He came to my place within 1 hour. HE ACTUALLY CLIMB THE ROOF , TOOK THE PICTURES FROM TOP OF THE ROOF AND SHOWED ME WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. As result, my roof wasn't leaking and didn't need full replacement for another 3-5 years. He fixed what needed to be fixed, including placing several new shingles. Charged me very fair amount. CONCLUSION: IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GREAT PRICE AND HONEST WORK , WHICH I FOUND HARD TO FIND IN ROOFING BUSINESS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PERSON! read more

Jim's son came out to estimate my job. He said he would get back to us the next day, but despite several calls they have not responded to me. Don't waste your time with these guys, why waste my time and come see me and then not follow up? read more

Jim Baker and his crew were professional, prompt, courteous and the price was very competitive. A neighbor and I needed some roof repairs and Jim Baker and crew were able to repair both of our roof's on the same day, send us pictures of before and after showing the repaired spots. I would not hesitate to recommend them for work. read more

I needed 5/6 shingles replaced from the windstorm in March 2018. So I checked Angie's Listing and decided to call Jim Baker from Burke, VA. Mr. Baker had an employee working in the area & the employee came by to give me an estimate. Mr. Baker arrived on March 10th and waited for the employee to show up in which he never did. Mr. Baker replaced the missing shingles himself. I paid the $335.00 & he said he had taken pictures before and after the repairs. He stated that he would send me the pictures by email the next day. This did not happen. I emailed Mr.Baker 3 times & called 3 times. No Response Received. I called again & finally he returned my call. He said he would be at my house on Sunday morning to check out the missing shingle. As I NOTICED ONE SHINGLE was missing after he had repaired the missing shingles. Since he did not send the pictures before/after the repairs I assumed the missing shingle was not replaced as he originally stated he repaired all missing shingles and never responding to my requests & not showing up as he promised. This was unethical for a business to misrepresent his duty after being paid in full for a job half done. I would not hire him ever again & I would not recommend him to anyone. He is a fraud. read more

A consummate professional - I called one day as a result of having our 28 year old roof leaking. He was able to visit later that afternoon and was the only guy out of 4 I called who took the time to get up on the roof. Another guy went in the attic and looked from below - and 2 others stood on the ground and estimated. By doing so, he was able to better understand the condition of the plywood sub-roof. Some guys suggested for a job of my size - they could have to replace 8-12 sections (at additional $65/section) - Jim guaranteed I'd need no more than 3 to 5 (and then after all was said and done, he told me I only actually needed 2 and only charged me for 2). His price was competitive - but I had a good feeling about his willingness to work with me and could tell he was more of a "Main Street" type of guy than a "Wall Street" type. He went way above and beyond for me - we made our agreement on a Thursday for full roof replacement and the job was scheduled for the following Tues or Weds depending on weather. When forecasters called for an inch of rain on Saturday, Jim personally came out late on Friday afternoon (you've got to know with NOVA Traffic how much fun that must have been) and temporarily patched the primary leaking area. It wasn't pretty - it didn't have to be - but it 100% did the job and there was no additional charge -His generous efforts kept me from having any further interior damage. The next week, he and his crew were on time as scheduled - and Jim was up on the roof with the other guys nailing down shingles. They worked hard and were able to get done 2 hours earlier than projected. Jim sold me on getting the higher quality shingles - the price difference was negligible given the size and scope of the job and I feel very confident not only in the product, but in the installation. Jim lived up to everything I'd expect from a roofing contractor. I highly doubt you'll regret calling him up! read more
