Q: Is it worth it to stretch a carpet?

• <div><p>Carpet stretching increases the lifespan of the carpet and eliminates unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. It is certainly worth it if you seek to extend the life of wall-to-wall carpeting, though it depends on the individual and the carpet itself. If the carpet looks fine, it likely is fine. Restretch the carpet when you notice looseness and a high number of related issues.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix carpet that is matted down?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fix-carpet-matting.htm">best way to fix carpet matting</a> is to start by vacuuming thoroughly in multiple directions to lift the flattened fibers. For more stubborn spots, apply moisture with an ice cube or steam, then fluff the carpet using a spoon, comb, or carpet brush. A blow dryer or warm iron over a damp towel can also help restore the carpet&rsquo;s texture. For deep or widespread matting, a professional cleaning is your best bet to fluff your carpet back up to its former glory. </p></div>

Q: Can repairs improve carpet lifespan?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance and professional repairs can extend the life of a carpet.</p></div>

Q: How to fix squeaky floorboards without removing carpet?

• <div><p>While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not. </p></div>
