FABULOUS RESULT! Barry is a consummate professional. He is relaxed and friendly, knows his stuff, gets right to work, and creates a gorgeous result. He stretched three areas for us: 1) a long, wide hallway, 2) a master closet, and 3) the corner of a large living room. Results are stunning; carpet looks new! We feared we would need to replace the carpet because the ripples continued to increase over time (HUGE expense). Now, we have avoided the cost of replacing the carpeted areas, and we are dancing with joy. We definitely recommend Barry.

I had a badly stained carpet I thought I would have to replace. Barry came out and took at look and thought he could get it clean . He son came out, right on time and cleaned my entire upstairs. My carpet looks amazing. I thought maybe the stains would come back, but it's been a month, and it still looks great. I couldn't be happier and will use them again.

Great! The repaired carpet looks brand new! Barry and son also did a great job just cleaning the additional carpets. I highly recomend The Carpet Repairman.
Description of Work: The owner Barry and his son restretched carpet in a large room and closet that had many waves in it. They moved furniture to accomplish the job and moved all back after the carpets were cleaned after the repair. They also cleaned the carpets in 8 additional rooms.

Barry was amazing. You can't tell a large, oddly shaped portion of my living room carpet was replaced. I didn't have enough remnanat, so he took carpet from a closet to do the job. I purchased some carept from Lowes, which was very close to my own carpet, so Barry used that in the closet. He stayed late to finish the job, was thorough, cleaned up, and did wonderful workmanship. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

He replied promptly. His advise made perfect sense. He gave me different options and explained the results to be expected of each. He did all of this without pushing his services. He was mainly concerned about which option would work best for my situation. I was so impressed there was a business owner who was genuinely concerned about my needs instead of just making a profit. I will definitely contact this business in the future when I need his services.
Description of Work: I contacted this company after reading the great reviews on Angie's List. I asked for his advise on whether it would be better to clean and stretch carpet vs. replacing it. He gave me his unbiased professional opinion. No wonder he has such a perfect rating.

I have a rental condo that my management company told me needed immediate carpet repair. I contacted Barry and he was able to come out at the time required. The repair turned out to be minor, but Barry did the job and did it well. He could have easily just done a few tacks and been done with it but he repaired it in a way that will last a long time. I had used him in the past and he is very professional, knowledgeable and does great work. My management company may be another story.

This is a wonderful family-owned business--so responsive to all my needs, efficient in scheduling. And I've tried many, so I know quality when I see it. Cody was amazing, excellent, awesome, friendly, efficient, extremely helpful. My formerly disgusting carpets are as good as new--and that's saying a lot, since the carpet is old, and was even more stained and disgusting from the flood. He has a truck-mounted system (SO MUCH BETTER than those guys with the smaller hand-held equipment.) The environmentally-friendly chemicals he used were excellent at removing the stains and general dirt. There was no odor, and it all dried very quickly. Cody was careful about not damaging my hardwood floors, He was careful about not letting my cat out. He was just generally excellent--always accommodating. And the price was extremely reasonable. I've recommended them to all my family and friends--Cody is my carpet cleaner forever. This family also offers a service designed to help customers prepare for the carpet cleaning (moving stuff, boxing stuff, organizing stuff), doing safety inspections of homes, making your place safe for babies, the elderly and infirm, those who don't have the time to do this stuff. I didn't need these services, but would strongly recommend them to anybody who needs a general and quot;sweepand quot; to ensure safety and organization at home.
Description of Work: Family owned business--excellent family to family service. The dad, Barry, did an excellent job repairing my carpet after a flood, He is a true artist and craftsman. Then Barry's son, Cody, cleaned all the filthy carpet that had been ruined (i feared) from the flood.

I will use him again if I ever need his kind of service.
Description of Work: Barry stretched a carpet that had loosed up over the years. Other than the wrinkles, the carpet is fine. We are very happy with the end result as well as the process. He was timely, pleasant and quick.

Because of a flood and the subsequent flood remediation, much of my wall to wall carpet was in tatters. The homeowner's insurance company thought that it couldn't be repaired, and should be replaced. But I found Barry on Angie's List, and he accomplished miracles--my carpet is as good or better than it was before. He is an artist as well as a craftsman. And he meticulously cleaned up after every phase of the job...it was a pure joy to have him work on my house... At my specific request, he also checked out the shoddy job somebody else (not Angie's List! shame on me....)had done installing my hardwood floors. He suggested inexpensive repairs, and gave me contact information for somebody he knew and trusted. For any carpet problems, you couldn't do better than Barry. I recommend you call him with any question you have about fixing carpet problems--you may save your carpet and money...

I don't know how much I can say that hasn't already been said in Barry's other rave reviews. We moved a door and Barry put in a riser and a patch in the hall carpet where it met the new tile in the bathroom. The carpet was under two years old and I had pieces which he was able to make work for the patch. Our carpet is a loop carpet (like a small berber texture) with a bit of a fleck to it that required precise matching. Barry estimate the job based on a picture that I sent him and was able to come and do the work within a week. The final price was less than the estimate. I would highly recommend.

Barry and his son Cody performed the work. They paid tremendous attention to detail and very patient with answering all my questions. They made sure all the electronic devices worked when they were finished. They were very pleasant to work with. The next time I have flooring issues I will definitely call them. Very nice guys! The carpet repair was $625 and the cleaning was $295. The older carpet looks nicer than I thought it would.

Our schedules did not allow me to use his services. However, I was very impressed that he understood that we needed tacks so small that they would be almost visually imperceptible. He referred me to an "old school" type of tack which few technicians were familiar with these days. I appreciated his scope of knowledge and that he referred me to one or two others in his field. Unfortunately, they did not know of that kind of tack.
Description of Work: Last summer I called Barry's Carpet Repair to find someone who could tack down runners onto wood floors in my elderly mother's home.

We didn't do the repair as indicated above, but i am sure that it would have remedied a difficult situation
Description of Work: We had a problem with discoloration on a section of wall to wall carpeting. Barry came in the next day and offered some] very creative ideas for repair. We did not use him as we negotiated a price adjustment with the buyer. He was extremely professional and will definitely use him in the future

Barry and his son Cody were very professional and I would use them again. Their prices were fair and they did very good work. I appreciated that they were neat and tidy and cleaned up after themselves during the job and after the job was done. I had tile installed at my front door entry which was a 4'x4' area. Cody did a beautiful job and it looks gorgeous. Barry did a very good job blending in the carpet for the patches that he did especially since he repurposed the carpet and pad from where I put tile in. I can tell that they take pride in their work and it shows. I was very pleased with the work performed. I will use them again when the time comes.
Description of Work: I had tile installed at my front door entrance by his son Cody. He did a beautiful job. I also had my carpet patched in a couple of rooms by Barry. The patches look great. Can't even tell where he patched because he used the carpet and pad from the front entrance where I ended up putting tile because that carpet was already worn and blended right in. They were very professional and worked quickly. They cleaned up after themselves and took great pride in their work. They were a little late in coming for my estimate, but Barry did call and let me know he was running late and on his way. That point is minor. On the day of the job, he called and said what time they would be there and showed up when they said they would. I would use them again. By repairing my carpet I get a little more use out of it and I didn't need to replace the entire carpet which saved me a lot of money, especially since I was on a budget. I found their prices to be fair and as I said before, would use them again.

He was able to see me the same week I called and showed up on time. He was very knowledgeable when I asked questions including an issue unrelated to the job he was doing. I was charged the minimum because it took him about an hour to do. He did a fantastic job and it looks great. He left things clean and complete. I even referred him to a couple of family members that need some help with their carpets. He is very personable and trustworthy. I would use him again anytime!

I had purchased a condo and the berber carpet in the living room had to be re-stretched and tacked along the length a glass panel and sliding door. I contacted Barry and arranged a day for the repair. Barry showed up on time, was very professional and knowledgable, also fixed a few other minor things in the carpet and gave me some very good tips regarding care of that particular carpet. HIs pricing was reasonable and what I would expect for the job that was done. I would use him again and even referred him to my realtor!

I called Barry because of all the great reviews I had read on him. He was able to patch a good size area in the hallway where we removed a bookcase, by removing carpeting from a closet. When I told him I needed the work done really quickly he scheduled me for the next day. The work he did was great. Both my husband and brother couldn't believe how good it looked (and I looked great for find such a good carpet guy!). He also provided the replacement carpeting for the closet. The price was very reasonable. I was so happy I found someone who was so good to work with.
Description of Work: Great Job!
