Verified record
Carpet Elite is a one-man operation out of Tewksbury — Tony Amaral, who the company's own site says has put in more than 15 years installing and repairing carpet and vinyl — and the specific accounts describing his work run unusually deep: 45 reviews since 2020 across Google, Thumbtack, Angi and HomeAdvisor, with a 4.9-to-5.0 average on every one of them, and five more in just the last six months with nothing negative among them. The word that comes up again and again is "stretching." Buckles, bubbles, ripples, and the loose wall-to-wall carpet that develops over years of foot traffic — reviewers from 2022 through 2026 describe Tony fixing all of it, often moving heavy furniture carefully to get at it and vacuuming or cleaning the carpet once the job was done. Pet damage shows up repeatedly too: a 2024 review described a dog-chewed hole patched with material pulled from a closet so the repair would match, filled in without being asked; a 2026 review described a similarly invisible fix to carpet a cat had destroyed. Reviewers describe him arriving the next day, or within the same week, more than once — one homeowner with a single-room job said Tony still came out the next day despite the small size of the work. A couple of accounts carry extra weight because of who wrote them. A home stager who hired Tony for a client's carpet stretching called him responsive and professional; separately, the owner of a carpet cleaning company who happened to be on a job site alongside him wrote that, having seen a lot of repair work from other companies, Tony was "one of the good ones." And in 2021, one reviewer described calling Tony in after a well-known retail chain had botched a two-room carpet installation just two months earlier — Tony repaired what the other company had done wrong, and the reviewer said they wished they'd found him first. Beyond repair and stretching, several reviews describe him handling full installations too — new wall-to-wall carpet across multiple rooms and a staircase in one case, living room and finished-basement carpet in another — along with stair runners and occasional vinyl flooring work. There isn't a single complaint to weigh against any of this across the entire written record. For carpet stretching, repair, or a straightforward install, Tony's specific track record is unusually deep and consistent for a one-person operation; the main thing worth confirming up front is scheduling, since demand this steady for one installer can mean a short wait for anything beyond an urgent fix.
Highly recommended carpet professional. Will definitely use again - stretched/reconditioned a large 2nd floor carpet taking out all of the "bubbles" that developed over time. Tony was professional throughout the entire process, and you could tell he cared about his craft. My carpet looked great afterwards. Thanks Tony!
Tony did a great job on our carpet repairs recently. He listened to our concerns and addressed each bedroom accordingly, and even made the time to repair the carpet on several of our stairs as well an area of carpet in our living room that we asked him to look at on his way out. He was highly professional, courteous and the quality of his work was wonderful. Thank you!
Tony was amazing with his work. He got my carpet fixed in couple of hours and I as able to accommodate us very quickly. Highly recommend.
Tony did an excellent job repairing a narrow long tear in my carpet. It’s nearly impossible to tell where the damage was now. He was professional, on time, and clearly skilled at what he does. Highly recommend!
Tony was a very nice person. I needed carpet stretching and it came out great. He even cleaned the carpets. He made sure the job was done correctly. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Tony for an outstanding job!
