Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A stained carpet that could not be cleaned, patched until it looks as good as new: that is what a recent Google customer wrote about Steve Holick of Strictly Carpet Repairs. The company describes itself on its website as a family business of over 40 years and says Steve Holick learned the trade from his father, George. Its stated service area runs through Newtown, Southbury, Woodbury, Monroe, Danbury, Bethel and seven other towns, and its Better Business Bureau profile describes carpet services for homes and businesses: re-stretching, patching, re-seaming, re-padding, and pulling up and installing carpet. A 2025 customer said Steve and his wife Kat restretched the carpet in two living rooms and moved a pool table without taking it apart. That 2025 customer also wrote that Steve guaranteed the wrinkles would not return. A 2023 customer said the original installers had left wrinkles the household lived with for years, and that Steve and Kat restretched the living-room carpet at a price the customer called very reasonable. A 2024 customer said Steve and Kat patched and repaired cat damage in several areas of the carpet and installed padding under half of a rug. In 2024, a customer with a dot-style carpet wrote that Steve explained why he was doing what he was doing at every step, and that they cleaned up with their own equipment at the end. A 2024 customer said Steve and Kathy cut, repaired, tacked and stretched a large section of carpeting in a master bedroom and moved two large dressers before and after the job. On Google the business holds 4.7 stars from 14 ratings, and its Better Business Bureau grade is A+. A 2022 customer said the original installer never called back, while Steve came when he said he would and repaired two areas within 45 minutes. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0651130, as active, held by Strictly Carpet Repairs. **Strengths:** - Carpet restretching — a 2025 customer said wrinkles were guaranteed not to return - Stain patching — a recent customer said the carpet looks as good as new - Furniture moving — a 2024 customer said they moved two large dressers - A quick repair — a 2022 customer said two areas were repaired within 45 minutes ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer said Steve Holick patched a stained carpet that could not be cleaned and that it looks as good as new _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25ObmVuaGZkMDV6VkVScE9YcE5XakZ5VVVSM2JHYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xedbc09140ee7ae02!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnNnenhfd05zVERpOXpNWjFyUUR3bGc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I post reviews when I believe someone is a master in their trade.
