David was fantastic to deal with. Came in to quote on a fence and deck rebuild within 2 days of request (and just 3 days before Christmas). Got started promptly, and the communication was first rate. Called us every day to let me know what was done and the check that we were happy every step of the way. The quality of the construction was to a very high standard and David went out of his way to... ensure everything was done to our satisfaction. Highly recommended A++++++read more

David Baker provided a competitive quote for building a deck at our address which we accepted in late October. We were provided a start date of early November, and after a few visits by a builder were set to go. We even moved all of our outdoor furniture inside the house. When the start date came and went I contacted the manager person, a lady by the name of Christine who advised that the builder... had unfortunately suffered some health issues and the build would be taken over by some others within the company. Despite the the fact I had taken the week off work and the lack of communication, we were understanding of the sad situation and patiently awaited the new start date. Over the next 6 weeks a new start date was promised almost weekly and then no one would show up. On several occasions this involved me taking time off work to be home. Every time I would have to chase Christine up and there would be another excuse. I contacted David who said he would follow it up for me which often just resulted in Christine calling me and telling me they’ll get to us once they finished their current job. The job eventually started on the 22/12/20 and unfortunately I was out of Auckland on holiday. The previous builder had advised that power would not be needed as they operated from batteries. While away, I began to receive calls from Christine first demanding that I provide access to the house to provide power. I explained that due to all of the delays I was unfortunately now out of Auckland but that I could arrange for my partner to come home from work although it would likely take over an hour. I then got some aggressive text messages saying that because of my unwillingness to provide power I had delayed the build and that they had other more expensive projects they could work on 24/7 with power provided. I found this very unprofessional considering as soon as power was raised, I was doing everything we could to arrange it. During this time there were some changes as to what was initially quoted due to some rotten existing wood which is fine and I was understanding of, but then Christine phoned me at 10.30pm and I was on the phone with her for over an hour, with her trying to make a new quote up on the spot and for me to accept it immediately. When I told her that I did not feel comfortable with the way this was being handled, that I wanted to see a breakdown of these new costs and that I wanted to contact David first as he had provided the initial quote, she said not to contact him, “he’s not a builder, you are now dealing with me”. Communication went back and forth until I eventually accepted the quote at 2am in the morning as the deck was half completed and I didn’t want to be stranded with a half built deck. The cost of the build almost doubled. When I did contact David and sent some of the text messages to show the unprofessional way Christine was speaking to me, he never replied but forwarded my texts onto her which she then sent back to me and rang even angrier. This was not helpful from the owner of the company and in my opinion very poorly dealt with. The deck was completed on the 30/12/20 and I was told by the builders that they would return in a week or so to put some latches on the manhole cover and replace one or two boards where the timber was knotted. It’s now early February and we haven’t heard from or seen of them since. Overall the workmanship that I can see isn’t too bad although my neighbours can’t believe how much it ended up costing or the stress we went through to have it built. From the moment I paid the final bill I haven’t heard from Christine, not even to confirm receipt of the payment, and more surprisingly haven’t heard from David since the beginning of December. My biggest complaint is the lack of communication, aggressive and demanding calls and texts from Christine and a lack of leadership or overall responsibility of his business by David. It is with regret that I must say please do yourself a favour and avoid this company, it’s not worth the drama.read more

Beware of David Baker and his company Bakers Builds. Incompetent builders and contractors who are led by a dishonest and unorganised director who fails on every promise and delivery target. Just empty promises and meaningless apologies. Their work is both unsafe and the poorest workmanship in the industry, failing to meet even the simplest building standards.I contracted Bakers Builds to put up... an internal partition wall with doors next to my lounge. A seemingly simple and quick project that should have take just 7 days to complete as advised by David himself.Right from the start there were many issues including the wall not being aligned, damaging my floorboards, lack of studs and timber used for support which caused flexing and bowing of the gib boards. Rather securing the gib boards on the proper way, the Bakers Builds team decided to just use discarded cut out pieces of gib boards held together with PVC glue, and foam insulation which of course failed.The most serious problem was the framing was not structurally sound. The bottom of the frame was never fixed down to the floorboards, no glue or bolts were used. It was just sitting there and with a small nudge with the foot the entire wall moves, or worse may have collapsed over.I had several other qualified builders come look and remedy the work and they were all both amused and appalled at the job carried out by Bakers Builds.I went back and forth with David and his contractors for 6 weeks. David made excuses how his contractors and managers let him down from the start and how their other jobs delayed my project. However, my job was under David’s direct supervision for 4 more weeks but had very little to no progress anyway. Every time they either did not show up or when they did but did not have the skills required to complete the job or fix the existing issues. They left my job less than half complete with all issues not fixed.They have very poor communication both to clients and internally and are unorganized. I went through 5 different builders within their team, each time I had to go over again what the issues were and what needed to be fixed. Even one of his own builders complained to me how the company was being poorly managed.In the end I had no choice but to get another company to finish what bakers builds could not. The new builders completed the project in 5 days only.Bakers Builds has been given countless opportunities and extended time to make things right. Now to make things worse I am now told by David he is unable to afford to pay the remedy cost as he is having cashflow issues.I offered him a payment plan and splitting the sum, unsurprisingly he has shown no real commitment. Unfortunately after months with them, I will now be taking legal action against Bakers Builds. I will provide an update here once the proceedings have concluded.read more

Im not very happy about this company as the work that was done in our bathroom (RENOVATION) was incomplete to this day, and the communication was very poor!Unorganised - Little or no communication - No customer service - Talking it up and under delivering.Now have to hire some one else to complete what they haven't finished, I do not recommend this company and its service to any one unless... you want to go through the trouble that we went through.Our bathroom renovation supposed to be finish two weeks before Christmas and now its January 2021 job still not finished and we are unsatisfied with this cowboy outfit!read more

Thank you very much for the “fabulous workmanship” for fixing my floor, I am very very happy to find someone else to finish it up rather than pay more hours.

Best building company I have ever dealt with. They communicate and turn up on time when agreed - something that lacks within the industry. David the owner is honest and very nice to deal with I feel very comfortable dealing with him and he always responds so quickly. They also have done small jobs and big jobs they don't only take on the big money ones. Highly reccomended if you are looking for... an excellent Builder don't look any further. Bakers Build is the way to go!read more

I have a rental that had suffered areas of damage from previous tenants in many rooms. I did not want the cost of a full fill and re-paint just patches re-done and I needed it all quickly. The work was carried out as instructed that week and i was continuously updated on progress. The job was exactly what I wanted done quickly and efficiently.

Highly recommend Bakers Build, they were quick to identify the cause of a significant leak that occurred. Not only this, David and his team had great communication, let us know what the plan was and made sure it worked around us. They were fast to get on top of things and did a good job at that, with no further leaks or issues! Thank you guys, you are life savers !!

What an awesome Builder and company. David organised everything from the plumber, plasterer and builder to work in with my schedule to repair the damage of my hot water cylinder which leaked and damaged the surrounding walls. He kept me in the loop at all times at the start of each day in the morning. David and his team are professional and family oriented they have repaired the damage as quick... as possible to alleviate the stress. David helped me when others were busy especially nearing Xmas next week. I highly recommend David Baker Builds they are a One Stop Shop to assist and guide you in any damage to your house and take the stress and hassle from you 100%. Thank you David, I will contact you for any further requirements for the house.read more

Extremely quick turnaround of quote and work - which is rare in Auckland. They built a deck for me in a week and worked late to maximise the daylight hours to finish on time. Lots of communication and questions about the work to ensure it was all going in the right direction. Highly recommend.
