CFD was very punctual and professional throughout the process.  They allowed us to take a ton of samples home to view and offered helpful insight that allowed us to narrow down to the right choice for our home quickly without feeling pressured. 

During the prep and install process they worked quickly and picked up after themselves each day until complete.  The end result showed great attention to detail and looks great.

Although the final price was probably 20% higher than the initial estimate, we couldn't be happier with the end result based on their recommendations for type of flooring and meticulous attention to detail during the installation. Would recommend them to anyone.

"Working with Ilan and IY Development and Renovation INC was an absolute pleasure. We hired them for a complete interior remodel, and they transformed our space into something truly spectacular. Ilan has an eye for design and was able to incorporate our style while making it feel new and elevated. The attention to detail and the quality of work are top-notch, and the team was incredibly respectful of our home throughout the process. Highly recommended for anyone looking for seamless renovations!"

"Beat our expectations. For many years we always wanted crown molding in our past homes, it never happened. Since this is our retirement home we decided to make it happen. My first and only call was to Tim Larkin and Co. I immediately felt he vision, enthusiasm and competence to make our dream come true. His team beat our expectations many times over. Tim proposed things that we never would have thought of and we’re glad he did. The quality of work was outstanding. Tim participated every day with his his. Their work was impeccable. Adjoining seams, angles and paiting still amaze us as well as friends who have seen the work. Finally, important to me was cleanliness. Everyday, our home was left in a livable state. The final day he brought his team back to our home, every inch was reviewed, some minor corrections made and they whet there until we were 100% thrilled. I wholeheartedly would recommend Tim to our friends and neighbors."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.

While some carpet repair kits exist and only cost around $15, they are not usually appropriate for Berber repair. Typically, they include small pieces of fibers to use as patches, and Berber carpets are typically colored very differently from other kinds of carpets. This is why it is imperative to try and locate a spare piece of carpet from your original installation when you need to patch up an area.

In addition, the tools these kits include are often watered-down versions of the ones you can buy individually from your local hardware store (e.g., the glue in the kit will not be as strong as your hot glue gun or the double-sided carpet tape).

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.

Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:

  • Stains that are impossible to remove.

  • A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.

  • An increase in allergy symptoms.

  • The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.

When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.

Your room doesn’t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you’ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you’re reattaching the carpet. A contractor will move your furniture out of the way before they start the job, but you can save money by moving your furniture before they arrive.
