Baker Mechanical

What Baker Mechanical does

Baker Mechanical, Inc. (BMI) is a privately-held commercial and industrial mechanical and plumbing contractor headquartered at 2301 Stantonsburg Road in Wilson, North Carolina. Founded around 2011 and operating with approximately 12 employees, the company serves eastern North Carolina through four core service lines: HVAC and plumbing contracting for new and renovated construction projects, a dedicated plumbing service group, custom HVAC duct fabrication, and a mechanical service group handling preventative maintenance and new installations. Differentiated capabilities include ASHRAE, EPA, medical gas, and backflow prevention certifications, which enable work in healthcare and institutional environments, plus specialty metal fabrication for equipment supports and roof curbs. The company does not have a software platform; its product surface is service delivery.

Revenue is generated through two streams. Project-based commercial contracting — secured via competitive bidding and subcontracting relationships with general contractors, architects, and PME designers — accounts for new construction and renovation work. Recurring service and maintenance contracts cover preventative maintenance (seasonal filter/burner/refrigerant services), repairs, and emergency response on installed HVAC systems. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the Plan Room is an FTP portal allowing contractors and suppliers to access upcoming project plans and submit bids. Customer logos are concentrated in the education vertical (Barton College, NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine, NCSU Gregg Museum of Art & Design, Panther Creek High School, Topsail High School, UNCW Center for Marine Science, Williamston Middle School) with additional exposure to healthcare (Vidant Healthplex), government (Granville County Detention Center), and entertainment (Durham Performing Arts Center). GTM is enterprise field sales through subcontractor relationships, with no digital marketing or content distribution beyond a project portfolio on the company website.

Ownership is family-operated; Kenny Martin serves as President, Wayne Strickland as Vice President, and Donna Martin as Office Manager/PM Assistant. No parent company, private equity backing, or external funding rounds are disclosed. Recent operating signals include multiple new team additions in 2025 (Project Manager Preston Bunn, HVAC Coordinator Luis Lunar, Receptionist Robin Davis, Admin Assistant Kendal Martin) and expansion of the plumbing service line with sewer camera video and jetting services.
