Yes. When your insurance company issues payment for the work, they will reduce the amount by the amount of your deductible which will be your responsibility.
Although some homeowners have tried this, many if not most have been unpleasantly surprised by the outcome. When an adjuster comes to your home, she is looking for specific damages that qualify your roof for coverage according to your policy. If they inspect your roof alone, they may or may not observe the same items that we observe. Fundamentally, they are not looking for how to pay for your roof . . . they are looking to see if covered loss has occurred. Many times, this is a subjective process and by having us there, we can make sure that they are aware of the items that we found which we believe support a decision to cover your loss.
When your materials arrive, we give you a copy of the shipping invoice which details all of the materials that we ordered for your job. A simple comparison with your proposal will confirm this.
We coordinate our work with your schedule. Most jobs can start in as little as two days or can be arranged in the near future on a date of your choosing.
One day is normally all that is required to complete an entire roof. Sometimes we may have to come back the next morning for a couple of hours but most roofs are started and completed the same day.
Building a roof is noisy and messy. To keep your pets safe and comfortable you will want to take them for a walk when they need to go out as your yard will be a construction zone for the day. Also, the noise from nailing may be stressful for your pets and taking them to a friend’s house or the groomer may be a better option for you and them.
Our customers regularly tell us how pleased and surprised they were when we finished their roof because we clean up so well. We use special industrial tools to pick up nails and other loose metal debris so that when we leave you never knew we were there.
The noise from the construction process will probably interrupt any regular activities – especially nap time – so if your children do not attend school, it’s a great day to schedule an outing or family adventure.
We are very pleased with the quality of the materials and workmanship on our new roof. Baker Construction uses high-quality materials and charges a fair price for the work. The new roof looks great and we are pleased to have worked with Baker Construction. You were able to finish the project in less than 2 days which helped tremendously. Thank you!

Richard Baker is very personable, gives a very good and quality service. He is also very punctual. He does as complete a roofing job as I know of, being a Professional Engineer myself. His crews are very thorough and clean up everything when the job is finished. You will not go wrong with Richard who did an excellent new roof for me (within my insurance company price estimate).

After a storm I lost a few shingles. I called a roofing company who came out and told me I would not have an insurance claim and they patched the shingles. Later, I called Baker Construction, who found out that I had wind damage that was missed by the other roofing company. Richard worked with my insurance company and I received a new roof for the cost of my deductible!

I commend Richard Baker of Baker Construction for his diligence in my roof replacement. He was very knowledgeable and conscientious on all aspects of my roofing options. He made sure that I understood my options and never pressured me into making a go forward decision. From the date of my initial contact with Richard, it took less than 1 week to have the complete job finished. Richard ensured that the crew followed the specific installation procedure necessary for the Lifetime warranty on the roof and followed up to make sure I was happy with the results.
I recommend Richard and Baker Construction to anyone thinking about replacing their roof shingles. His patience and thoroughness are key ingredients to his continued success.

The Baker Construction work crew was professional and diligent in removing the old roof and replacing it with a new one. This operation was done within a day. The surrounding after the job was completed was cleared of all the rubbish. It was as if such a major project as replacing a roof has never taken place.
I will recommend Baker Construction to family and friends in a heartbeat. I look forward to using the company in the future in other projects.

I recently had hail damage to my roof. There were several roofing companies in my neighborhood after the storm. Richard Baker of Baker Construction came to my door to talk to me about my roof. He said I had damage and probably needed a new roof. We talked and he told me that he would handle all the correspondence with the insurance company after I opened a claim. He was true to his word and I received a new roof and gutters for the cost of my deductible. His crew was professional and efficient.
Dealing with Richard Baker and Baker Construction was a very positive experience. He is refreshingly honest. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his company to family and friends.
