Testimonials

Featured

I have known Bill Baker for at least 15 years and have worked with him on many new construction and renovation projects. His designs are always first class and he makes himself available to answer any questions that I have. Mr. Baker has a big following here in the Atlanta area and I would recommend him highly.

Bill Balentine

We selected Bill to design our house because we loved his work and we had seen his work in several houses that he had designed for my extended family. His knowledge, attention to detail, and follow up were outstanding. We could not be more pleased with the outcome. We wouldn't change a thing.

Julius Shaw

William T Baker designed our dream home in Buckhead from start to finish. Bill Baker is truly gifted at designing beautiful homes for each client within the budget of the client. Bill is so knowledgeable of classically designed homes and really listened to what we wanted in our home functionally and brought that vision to life.

Kistulinec

Bill Baker is one of America's leading residential architects, but I think he might just be in a category all his own. Bill is the rare combination of talent, professionalism, and passion that I've encountered only a few times in my life. He designed a new home for my wife and me in Raleigh, NC. We couldn't be happier with the end product, but what made the difference was the experience of working with him.

Gerry Lipscomb

Bill was referred to me by another client of his in Detroit. Nearly a year later, my home has been transformed. The original architect, Robert O. Derrick, must be looking down from heaven with great pleasure! Bill Baker was the only person for the job and what he did to restore a great American classic home is indescribable. Bill, thank you for your time, effort, patience. Please come back for a visit soon!

John Wortman

Bill Baker is as talented as anyone I’ve ever met. He’s innovative, creative, and is a true professional. He is a high integrity man, honest, and trust worthy. Man of his word. He completely transformed my 50 year old home into an updated transitional style home. It was truly amazing what he did.
