"Ed was able to schedule us in very quickly. He was right on time, performed the work we asked for, (carpet stretching), and showed us a different area just starting to show signs that the same issue was happening. He stayed and repaired that area for us, as well. Great results, very friendly and professional, and the price was very reasonable! Weâ ll definitely recommend him to our friends and neighbors!"

"My carpet install project was just one 10'x12' room, and I sourced the carpet padding and carpet from Home Depot. After researching online how difficult it is to install carpet well, I decided to source a professional. I submit a request for quote online at around 7PM on a Saturday evening, and Jody reached out to me within minutes to schedule an appointment next-day on Sunday at 10am. The install crew was incredibly punctual - I received a knock at my door at exactly the 10am start time. They had the carpet padding installed in less than 30 minutes. We discovered during carpet installation that the carpet I received from Home Depot was not cut to proper length (turned out to be a mixture of a factory defect roll and bad consulting) so I discussed options with Potteiger. They were able to source a higher quality carpet for a comparable price. Incredibly, they were out the next day on Monday morning with the new better carpet and finished the install promptly. I highly recommend"

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Pros use power stretchers that secure the carpet firmly in place.

Generally speaking, restretch your carpets once every five years, though this timeframe depends on a number of factors, such as the level of foot traffic in the area. If the carpet looks wrinkled and there are loosened areas on the floor, go for the restretch. If everything looks and feels fine, you are good.

Carpet stretching isn’t permanent, but it can last anywhere from two to six years. The longevity of this project depends on the quality of the carpet and whether it’s in a high-traffic area. You might not be able to stretch old or damaged carpets because they can tear. Certain fibers, like nylon, stretch better than others.

The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.

You’ll know if your carpet is stretched enough if it lies completely flat and smooth across your floor. If you have ripples, wrinkled areas, or carpet piling up along the baseboards, these are telltale signs that your carpet is not fully stretched. Release the carpet from the tack strip along one wall and use a stretcher or knee kicker to stretch out the carpet before securing it again.
