Nick responded in a timely manner to my phone calls, gave me a time window in which he could do the repair and showed up within that time window. He professionally repaired the carpet such that the repair is hardly visible to me and could not even be found by someone else. I'm very pleased with the result.
Description of Work: Nick repaired a carpet tear resulting from a recent telephone line installation in my office. A drill bit had snagged the carpet and pulled out the carpet threads in a row about 1" wide by 5 feet long.

This is the third time we have used Nick and we have been happy each time. There is no A+ rating or we'd use that. Nick is professional, punctual, polite & awesome to work with. In a world of unreliable companies I would never hesitate to recommend Nick's services to anyone. When we redo the rest of the carpet in our house my wife and I plan on calling Nick. Nick has great prices and great service, the holy grail of contractor qualities in our book.
Description of Work: Installed a wonderful high end carpet and padding in our basement. The carpet ran a little over $4000 and Nick installed it for around $600.

Nick arrived on time and got right to work. The cost was fair, considering the amount of labor required, Out carpet was originally installed badly by a now-defunct company and had become wrinkled and unsafe.We did have to move our own furniture out for the job. After Nick had finished, the carpet looked great, Now we don't have to be embarrassed to have overnight guests.

the overall experience with Nick went well. Nick was knowledgeable and a veteran of the trade as well as easy to communicate with. Nick installed our upper level carpet which was a standard installation and went off without incident. The turn around stair was the tricky part. It was a nice rug and required edging and meticulous measuring before it was sent out to be edged. All of this went well and we are very pleased with the installation.
Description of Work: Installed all upstairs carpet. Installed rug on a turn around stair.

Nick came out as arranged and inspected the carpeting. He agreed with me that in was a very poor original installation job but he could fix it and suggested I do so rather then replacing it as it was still in good condition. He restretched the entire area and did a fantastic job. I had it cleaned the same day by another Angie's list business, The Spot Man, and it looks like new. I'm sure I can get another 6-7 years out of it and saved a bundle over new.
Description of Work: My carpeting in the living room and hall (installed by a Becky's sub-contractor 8 years ago) was buckling and bubbling in several places. I considered replacing it but had Nick come out and give me an estimate.

Nick completed the work in a very timely manner (less than 3 hours) and was within the quoted price. He did a great job re-laying the existing carpet (which was not in great shape) and I could tell he took pride in his work.
Description of Work: We had a large crack in our foundation that led to water damage in our basement. Once the water problems were fixed, Nick re-stretched a large section of carpet, replaced padding and installed new tack strips. He also replaced carpeting on three stairs leading to the basement.

I was thrilled to find someone to do this small job and in time for Christmas too!
Description of Work: I had a small area bordering a tiled area in front of an exterior door which needed the carpet to be tacked down. Nick did a great job with our carpeting which is actually over 20 years old. His work is meticulous!

Excellent. Nick advised me as to how to optimize the insulation value of the carpet/pad, and his advice was spot on - the room was much warmer since installing the thick pad and carpet. The carpet was well-installed, and is wearing well. The only tiny downside is that Nick does not move any large furniture (because he works alone), so you must do it yourself or make arrangements for someone else to do it.
Description of Work: Nick removed carpet in a sun room/enclosed porch. He advised me about the proper carpet and pad to use to optimize insulation.

I picked up a carpet remnant at a carpet store which I really liked, but when she told me how much it would cost to have one of their subcontractors install it ($450) I thought I could find something better. I called Nick Gaines and he talked me through some of my options for the edge of the carpeting that didn't meet the wall. He was knowledgeable and willing to do the work for $250. He came and did a terrific job in only a few hours while I was at work. I was pleased with the result, and would hire him again.

I think Nick did a very good job. He arrived at my home at the exact time we agreed on. He was very professional but also very nice and cordial. He did what he said he would do and without and problems. I thought the price he charged me was reasonable and I wouldn't hesitate to call on him again.
Description of Work: I needed to have my carpet stretched and replaced after having some work done to the floor underneath it. The price reflects the hourly fee.

I wanted to have a staircase runner put in but didn't want to go the route of buying carpet at a carpet store and having their subcontractor install it. Nick Gaines is an independent. He talked me through the process of finding my carpet at his wholesale source, and after having it bound (by someone recommended by the carpet wholesaler), he installed it --and a pad-- for what I believe to be a reasonable price. He was knowledgeable and did a good job with the installation. I'm very happy with the results.
