Barry's Carpet

It was great. Didn't take very long at all

Installation went well. He is coming back to put more carpit in the house in a couple weeks

did what I asked. good service. professional. no surprises.

Barry was a very pleasant man to work with. He gave valuable input on carpet selection and the advantages/disadvantages of particular types of carpet. It was a fairly small installation project but very important to me. Barry attacked the job as if it were a major and important project for him. I appreciated the quick and professional and completeness of the project and the way it looked after completion. Barry even picked up the carpet where we purchased it at no charge. Good installation price-great relationship-very pleasant to deal with! I will use his services again if I need carpet installation again...

I called Barry's Carpet about a basement installation estimate and Barry Peeper, the owner, responded and was at my house for an estimate within 24 hours. I had 80% of my basement floor to cover plus stair and landing. When he saw the intricate pattern of my proposed carpet, he made sure to ask how I felt about the possibility of patterns and seams, i.e. they sometimes don't match up perfectly. He also pointed out that since my rooms were not perfectly "on square", that the he would need to cut along "rows" at the walls. I appreciated his concern and experience to point these things out. He gave me the amount of carpet I would need to order and an estimate for the job. I was in a "bind" to get the carpet in quickly, and Barry was able to accommodate the somewhat restricted schedule. The day after having the carpet delivered, Barry was in to lay the tack strip on the basement floors. He came back two days later, a Friday, giving the glue sufficient time to dry on the tack strips. Unfortunately, my basement was a first where the glue didn't hold, so Barry quickly drilled and secured the strips to the concrete floor. This required him to make an extra trip to finish a section (again, due to my schedule: he probably would have finished the job if I could have accommodated him). Barry returned on Monday to finish the job in about an hour. The carpet looks great and I was more than satisfied with the job he did. I was unable to locate the two seams, even upon close inspection. My only complaint would have been the protracted phone conversation he was having while cleaning up upon completion. As the job was not paid by the hour, and he was finished, I wasn't bothered about him taking a call. However, it seemed rather loud, and of a personal nature, and I closed the basement door to try not to eaves drop, but still heard a lot. As a professional, I probably would have called the person back after leaving the work site.

Barry showed up on time, was friendly and very helpful beyond just installing the carpet - in addition to installing the carpet, Barry provided advice and demonstration on carpet installation. I had recently done it myself, and wasn't entirely sure I had done it correctly. Barry was able to both assure me that my work was fine, but that there were easier ways of doing things. This kind of advise is priceless to a Do-it-Yourselfer like me.For my next big carpet job, I'll likely be giving Barry a call!
