Barry was extremely professional, knowledgable, and punctual. His prices were very fair and he did excellent work. I would definitely use him again (but hopefully won't need to).
Description of Work: Barry replaced carpet pad from a section underneath the carpet that had to be cut out due to a flood. He also stretched a portion of my upstairs carpet that was buckiling.

i contacted Barry when one of my tenants moved out and left me with damaged carpet (ink stain) in a very visible part of the unit. Barry came to take a look and was able to cut out the damaged area and replace with a patch from carpet in the closet.
Description of Work: Barry repaired damaged carpet for me by removing carpet from closet and patching existing carpet in more visible area. he found a good match for the closet too. He has done work for me numerous times, always happy with the results.

The tile installer recommended Barry and we were very pleased with his work. There wasn't much extra carpet left at the doorway for Barry to work with but he did an excellent job. The ramp installed under the carpet was necessary to bring the two floors to the same level. Again, he did a great job and the transition is very gradual and barely noticeable. I'd say it took about an hour or less to do the work. He was on time, did an excellent job, and cleaned up after he was finished. I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: We had new tile installed in a bathroom and needed to have the hallway carpet repaired where the two flooring types met up. Also, since the new tile raised the level of the bathroom floor, Barry installed a "ramp" underneath the carpet to gradually bring the carpet level up to the bathroom floor level so that the transition was not noticeable.

I was very happy with the work that both of them did and the professional manor in the way it was done. Barry and his Son arrived on time, within a few minutes of each other, and immediately started working the job. They both showed up clean, their equipment clean and had all the equipment neede to perform the task as I defined. Barry was there for about 2 hours, and his Son, Cody for about 2 1/2 hours. The quality of there work was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. When I need carpet services in the future, I will definetly contact them again for any repairs or new carpet installation.
Description of Work: I had been considering a carpet repir to 20 year old carpet until we replace it sometime next year with carpet or laminated flooring. I called Barry's Carpet Repair on a Saturday afternoon and scheled a carpet repir for the next Wednesday at 9:00 AM. I had told Barry that I was not sure what all had to be done, but that it was a temporay fix to old carpet that was long overdue. We also discussed that some carpet cleaning might also be required. The work performed was carpet repair and stretching in the master bedroom and and capet cleaning of the Master Bedroom and accessable portions of 2 other bedrooms. The carpet cleaning was performed by Barry's son's company Zclean.

Barry did an excellent job and is a true professional. He was very flexible in setting up the appointment and called on the day of the visit to confirm. The work was great and in fact those steps look better than those by the carpet installer.

Barry first came out to give us an estimate, which seemed very fair considering the amount of work. These ripples have been a problem that has annoyed us for several years and was getting worse. Barry and one of his sons appeared on time on the scheduled day and went to immediately to work - the two worked non-stop for over three hours. As mentioned earlier, the job involved problems in four rooms (living room, master bedroom, and two other bedrooms). They did a beautiful job of completely eliminating the ripples by stretching and tacking down the carpet. They appeared to take no shortcuts in properly stretching the carpet from wall to wall; they also installed additional tackboards to assure the carpet remains tight. Their thoroughness left us convinced the problem will not reoccur. They were carefull in their clean up and left the house as they found it.
Description of Work: We had extensive rippling of the carpet in four rooms due to improper installation a nuimber of years ago. The situation was getting worse. Carpet need to be restretched, trimmed, and retacked to eliminate problem. Job involved moving a great deal of furniture to properly restretch carpet tight.

I was very impressed with the experience. Barry is very knowledgable and explained what he would be doing. He and his son completed the work in a timely manner and were very efficient. They were clean, efficient and professional.
Description of Work: We were getting our condo ready to rent and needed the carpet stretched in both bedrooms and the living room. One of the bedrooms also had some of the padding missing.Barry and his son showed up on time. They spend approximately 2 hours repairing the carpet in the thresholds and stretching it.They added padded where it was missing from the threshold of one bed room. In the master bedroom they fixed the transition from the bed room to the walk-in closet. After the job was complete they cleaned up all the lose carpet pieces and vacuumed the rooms.They did an excellent job.

Overall it was a great experience. Barry took his time and did an extremely nice job. The price was fair, no complaints.
Description of Work: Barry came out and did a very good job of sorting out a disaster. (Note to self, NEVER USE OXYCLEAN ON A CARPET STAIN!) I thought I was being so cleaver, but I ruined my carpet and Barry was able to remove the stained area and replace it. It really looks good. He was extremely professional and tidy. I'd definitely recomend him.

It could not have gone better and Barry was really a nice, thoughtful, careful person.
Description of Work: FANTASTIC!!! We had recently enlarged a bathroom and had to repair the carpet where the walls, door ways, closets were moved. Barry came to the house when expected and gave me a quote for the work. He was really knowledgable about how the different repairs were to be done and explained everything really well. He was really accomodating when it came to setting up a time when I could be home for him to do the work. He took a great deal of care and time to complete the repairs. His price was way more than fair for all the work. Great experience.

Barry arrived about 15 - 20 minutes late which I thought was still reasonable given that the appointment was at 6 PM and traffic can be unpredictable. He called a bit before 6 to tell me he'd be late. He greeted my dogs and got right to work. He was social during the repair but remained focused on the task at hand. I didn't shop around for prices and haven't had this type of work done in San Diego before. His price to repair a four inch hole in my shag carpet using my spare carpet was $125. The job was very well done.

Berry had done a similar job for us several years ago so that's why we brought him in again for this one. He did a great job, making the transition from carpet to new floor just perfect. And, he even brought his own vacuum cleaner to clean up the area before leaving. The whole thing took less than an hour.
Description of Work: We recently completed a job with another company to retile our bathroom floor. At the border where the new floor meets the carpet, the carpet needed to be reattached and finished off. Additionally, the new floor was higher than the level of the carpet so a very slight ramp was installed to make it flush where the two floors meet.

Our dog managed to remove the crate tray from the bottom of his crate, and then started digging at the carpet underneath. Because it is a berber-style carpet, once he got one or two loops up, he pulled the threads 6 inches or so, along two runs. From the moment Barry picked up the phone he was friendly and professional. He was able to come to our house two days after I first called him. He was on time, did the work quickly,and cleaned up after himself. He used some extra carpet we had to replace the section our dog damaged, and you cannot even tell where he did the work. Barry also inspected the carpet in all of our rooms, and made a few quick repairs to some other areas. He was also patient with our dog, and my very curious four-year old daughter who wanted to know exactly what he was doing. I wouldn't hesitate to use Barry again.

Very well. Barry made one trip out, found remnants too wrinkled, so he cut and rolled them and returned 2 weeks later to install. He called ahead even if only 10 minutes late; was very thorough and fair.

I used them twice. They were really great. They were very professional. They were very responsive from when I called them to when they did the work. They did exactly what they said they would do. I spent $130. The quote was exactly what they billed. I got exactly what I paid for. I will use this company again in the future.

Barry showed up on time and was very professional. He got to work immediately and knew exactly how to fix the carpet. He took extra time to show my two boys every step he did and each tool he used. When he was finished with the work, you couldn't tell the carpet had ever been cut, pulled back, or moved in any way. He cleaned up all tools, vacuumed all dust and left the area much better than when he came. It took him less than two hours.
Description of Work: After replacing our stairs, we needed to restretch the carpet, tack it down and repair two foot long sections that had been cut to make room for the stairs.

Kyle showed up right on time. Went to work on carpet repair which was the reason for our call. Asked if he could fix two other problems. Said he could. Completed the carper repair (I cant tell where he patched it so it is that good). Left for another scheduled call and came back around 2:00pm to complete the additonal work we added. He was done in less than an hour. We are very pleased with the results.

Barry was very nice and helpful on phone and in person. He came out the next day to do the job. Not sure how his price compares to other companies but it seemed fair. He was recommended by a carpet cleaning service we like so we just went with him.
Description of Work: We recently had tile installed in master bath. We needed carpet in connecting master bedroom to be finished where it meets tile. Since new tile was higher than old carpet, Barry installed a ramp to make it a smooth transition. Not much of old carpet was left at edge but Barry was able to stretch existing carpet to fit and fold under at edge. Looks good and we won't stub our toes on the new tile at the transition.
