We want to buy you lunch. Seriously. No strings attached.*

The Charlotte commercial real estate market is busy. You’re busy. And somewhere between site visits, lease renewals, and back-to-back calls, roof problems have a way of showing up uninvited.

We’re Baker Roofing Company and we’ve been doing this since 1915. Not because we stumbled into it, but because our founder W.P. Baker believed something worth hanging on the wall: “We shall do good work, at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always good work.” That sign still hangs in our office today.

A little about us: 110 years in business. 29 locations across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. 100% employee-owned, which means every person on our team has real skin in the game. And we self-perform all our service work, no subcontractors, no surprises, just our people showing up and doing it right.

Our Charlotte team would love to take you to lunch. No pitch, no pressure, just a conversation about your properties, your headaches, and whether we might be able to help. We work with property managers, REITs, national accounts, and multi-site owners across the Carolinas and beyond. If roof issues are anywhere on your list of things you’d rather not think about, that’s kind of our specialty.

Reach out to Brian Simmons to take us up on it. You pick the spot. bsimmons@bakerroofing.com | 704-618-2610 | BakerRoofing.com

The only string is that we think good relationships start with a good meal.
