We were concerned that she would trip on the raised carpet and fall, so we stepped in and found Pat D'Ambrosio on Angie's list. My husband contacted Pat. Pat immediately returned the call and we made arrangements for him to repair her carpet the following week. He arrived on time, despite terrible snowy weather and ice that morning. I was present in my mother-in-law's home the entire time Pat was there.
Pat moved all the furniture out of my mother-in-law's living room, lifted the carpet edges all around the room and re-stretched the carpet with a power stretcher. He trimmed the excess carpet, then re-tacked it. He also worked for a long time on an area where the seam strip had been glued to the carpet backing. He said that was the reason the carpet had buckled so much in that area. This repair process was quite involved. After three hours, the carpet was smooth and taut and looked like it should have after the initial installation.
My husband's mother then showed Pat where the same lifting problem was happening in her upstairs hallway (another part of the Empire Today's installation job). We didn't know about that, so he wasn't aware that repair was needed, as well. Regardless, Pat said he would also repair this carpet the same day, even though he had another job to go to after that. After discussion, my mother-in-law decided to purchase new master bedroom carpeting from Pat, and have him fix the hallway carpeting when he installs the new bedroom carpeting.
As a widowed senior citizen, my husband's mother often feels that providers like Empire Today take advantage of her. Pat exhibited honesty, personal integrity, a strong work ethic, and professionalism. She was so happy that the job was finally done right. and that he didn't charge her a small fortune to fix it.
When Pat finishes at my mother-in-law's home, we plan to contract with him to replace some bedroom carpeting in our own home. We highly recommend Pat D'Ambrosio.
His price was extremely reasonable to do the work. I will definitely use him again once I see any other problems with my carpeting.
It was an all day job but Pat worked consistently, other than taking a lunch break, of course, until it was done. The whole job took from about 10 am to 6 pm. I am pleased with the results and would highly recommend Pat.
He showed up on time and got right to work removing the old carpet which he cut into pieces and carried out to the curb for our trash pick-up. He worked to re-secure some of the boards of the porch and repositioned several of them to get rid of the "squeaks" we had experienced. He then laid the carpet which had to be cut around several railing posts and did an excellent job. There was a remnant left, which he squared off for us to use as a runner. And he removed all the trash, etc. that resulted from the job. Our porch looks great.
I am reluctant to post the cost above, but he definitely undercharged, based the prices we got for the same job from Moleneaux and Rusmer Floors!
In a single word: PRECISION!
Several carpet installers told me that splicing Berber carpet was difficult and labor intensive, and they were not interested in doing the job. I wanted this particular group of remnants put together for the closet because they matched the carpet used in our hallways. (Who wants an oddball piece of carpet that doesn't match anything else in our home even if it is just in a closet?)
Mr. Ambrosio visited, provided a fair price, and performed the job flawlessly.
It was labor intensive and took a while to complete.
When finished, I looked at the results, was pleased and paid Mr. Ambrosio. Shook hands and said and quot;Goodbye.and quot;
This evening I vacuumed a few carpet thread fuzzies, looked at the workmanship more closely... trying to find the five seams in the newly-installed carpet and could not find any visible seams.
You have to know me to appreciate what follows. I am an extremely detail-oriented person on everything. Yes, everything! I crawled around that six foot by six foot carpeted floor looking for the seams... for twenty minutes. (Sorry, but that's how I am sometimes.)
This gentleman is an artist, craftsman, magician, precision carpet installer... the descriptions could go on forever.
I am so happy that Mr. Ambrosio is on Angie's List. Call him. You will be happy too.
PRECISION is the word.
