"A home is a very personal, sacred place, so it is nerve-racking to trust a stranger and their "expertise" with your home, especially having been burned by different, previous contractor; however, trust me when I say this: you will be in good hand with California Crews. The crew arrived promptly early in the morning, worked really hard throughout the day, cleaned up the property before I arrived home each day, and always kept an open, professional line of communication. Some may have been born a green thumb; unfortunately, I have been graced with a brown thumb. I kill every plant I come in contact with. Luckily, Joel was patient enough to pick the plants for us, which worked out very well. I completely trust his expertise. With California Crews, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. California Crews did an immaculate job on landscaping and taming a beast of a yard. We've already received compliments and positive feedback from neighbors (they're also probably grateful that California Crews got rid of my knee-high weeds too, haha). THANK YOU so much."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

An Oriental rug should last between 50 and 100 years, on average, but yours could last much longer than a century if you care for it properly. There are many factors that affect the lifespan of an Oriental rug, though. Increased foot traffic, exposure to moisture, exposure to UV light and sunlight, and aggressive cleaning can all limit how long your rug will last.

You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can’t remove it all.
