Charles was able to come to our home the day after I called. He came up with a creative solution to patching some of our carpet using carpet from a closet instead of replacing a large set of rooms of carpet. His price was fair and he had great communication letting me know when he’d be here. He also was able to make the repair right after diagnosing our issue. I highly recommend Charles.

Charles was so helpful! He helped repair 3 very damaged areas of carpet my rabbit chewed up, the repair looks good as new! Super appreciative for his work and help, I would highly recommend!
Charles was super responsive, helpful and clear in his communication. Andrew, who installed the carpet was on time, professional and efficient. He also helped us with an existing carpet that was getting a bit loose. He advised us on the carpet pad that didn’t need to be replaced, which saved us some money. I called on Monday and by Thursday my room had a new carpet. Highly recommended!

Charles did an incredible job repairing our carpet after our dog pulled it up. He was very responsive when scheduling the appointment and even arrived early on the day. We are very happy with how everything turned out. It was as if it never happened. We will definitely be using his services in the future!
I contacted Charles to provide an estimate to stretch out the carpet in three of my bedrooms. Charles came promptly to inspect and gave me a very reasonable estimate. We settled on July 29 to complete the work. Charles and his team were here exactly on time and completed the job in 3 hours. They did an excellent job. I highly recommend 2nd Generation Floor Covering for your flooring needs.
