"I have used David on several projects including carpet cleaning/stretching. He has cleaned the tile and solid surfaces (floor, shower enclosures, vanities and more) He has removed the grout and re-grouted making the counters look like new. He makes sure you are 100% happy with his work. They always show up on time and does an amazing job!"

Good - the carpet is great and they did a fantastic job on the installation. It looks wonderful.

The only annoying thing is that they charge extra for everything, including $100 a room to move and replace your furniture. That seemed like a lot. We are seniors and can't move it ourselves, and $100 for both rooms would have seemed more reasonable. But the installers were excellent - they did everything right and cleaned up after themselves nicely.

"After we ordered the carpet we received a call that one of the colors was not available.  Kelly offered an alternate carpet which we accepted.  We were pleased with the selection.  However, during installation the installer told us that there was not enough carpeting material for the master bedroom closet.  But there was more than enough for that section by using the carpeting from another bedroom.  We said okay to using the different color since it's in the closet and close enough in color (blue and aquamarine) not to be a distraction.  But I did wonder how the two measurements were not correct.

"I had coupon for 3 rooms + hallway----I seem to recall it was for $125.. Carpets were badly stained, and required DEEP cleaning. Once he was there, he agreed to do whole apt. for $100, which was far below even his extremely reasonable "coupon" price.
Not only was his price unbelievably low, but he was timely, courteous, AND his work made the apartment look like it had just been re-carpeted!!
This service was TERRIFIC in every respect.

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

The cost of carpet repair is $204 on average. The typical range for this project is between $135 and $280 but can increase to $1,000 for severe pet damage repair. The type of repair, along with the carpet material, will impact your total price tag. 

The necessary type of carpet repair is a significant factor in the total price for this project. You can repair simple repairs, like tears and snags, for between $100 and $250. For more complex damage, like water or severe pet damage, prices can start at $300 and jump to $1,000 or more.  

You can use a carpet patch to replace a single section of carpet. You’ll cut out the damaged section and then replace it with a caret patch. The patch should be the same color as the existing carpet. You can also hire a professional carpet repair company to get it done. 

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.

The answer depends on the size of the problem. If the carpet damage is small, then you or a pro can fix it with a carpet patch. This commonly includes things like burn marks from fireplaces or small holes from furniture snagging on it.

Other times, replacing the carpet rather than repairing it is best. For example, if you have large, worn sections, water damage, or can’t get rid of a strong odor, it may be time for a replacement. Carpet removal costs average $180 plus the cost of new carpet installation.

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.
