I definitely wanted a place with a showroom and here I could view their work...This was it!!! My wife found a coupon in a flier so we blew in a cold call and talked to Keith and figured we would have enough time to grab a couple chairs and make it to Frankfort from Darien. We were very explicit on what we wanted, our cushions were not of a caliber for Plunket Furniture and were very soft in the seat. After talking to Keith he showed us a couple of examples of their work, and then the work shop, (well maintained) at that time we were engulfed. Then the fabrics, OOHHH that a selection, fortunately we found a stain resistant fabric within minutes and in the color we liked. Fortunately what a quick find. I also wanted the chairs tightened (they were getting sloppy after 15 years). We made the deal and asked if they could be done before Christmas and the timeframe was befitting. Now the Outcome......Freaking.....Awesome. The seats were perfect, exactly what the Mrs. was looking for. The chairs were solid like brand new and completed well before the Christmas holiday.

This was a very nice home repair service for those that don't feel they can do all the mechanical…read morethings needed around their home. I had a seven year old water heater that had a weeping copper pipe joint on the hot side where water would slowly weep out over time at an elbow joint. It was not a big leak but just a slight weeping. In any event, it was a maintenance job that had to be fixed before it became a bigger problem. So I was in the market for someone with experience who did not mind doing a smaller job, as this was not something that would call for a plumbing contractor. I found Carrara's Repair Service listed in the neighborhood newspaper, and thought I would give them a try. When I called he answered and we set up an appointment for a few days later after I explained my plumbing issue. He came on the appointed day and took a look, told me what he thought it needed, and gave me a price. His price seemed fair and he even negotiated a bit on the price, so we had an agreement. He was probably here just a bit over an hour. He cut out the weeping joint, brought in all new copper and built a new assembly (two 90 degree elbow fittings, two short stubs, and two couplings), and then sweat the new assembly in place and we were done. Steve is very knowledgeable - he has 30 some years experience as an industrial mechanic - knew what to do and how to do it. He had all the equipment he needed in his truck, and completed the job right then and there. He also left the area as clean as it was when he showed up. I was very pleased with his work, and would not hesitate to use him again. Recommended!
