My table got damaged years ago and tried to have it fixed but it was made worse. Mar-Lynn fixed it all along with a big chip out of the edge of my table. My buffet had some sort of mark on it after a warm dish was placed directly on it and they fixed that too. They are like new now. I'll be having more furniture re-finished by them as well in the future.

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!
