"We called G&G when our garage door wasn’t lifting. They came same-day and put a temporary fix in to get us by until the full replacement could come in. From the moment we decided to replace to the time the door was actually replaced was less than 48 hours. Our new door is so quiet now and looks great. And other than the beautiful new door, you would never know they were even in our garage as they cleaned up everything perfectly. We are a new permanent customer."

"We scheduled an in-house estimate for replacing our family room carpet with wood and replacing upstairs carpet. The sales person came in on time but he was not interested in listening to what we wanted. He had very limited choice of wood floors and only two choices of carpets. His behavior was pretty condescending. When we asked him to estimate for carpet replacement in our bedrooms, he said and quot;it will be expensiveand quot;. We had researched before calling him and hence were not as ignorant as he thought us to be. We also had an idea of the price for the service we were asking for. In fact, his estimate was close to our expectation. But when we were asking for other possible options (since he had limited choices) he said if and quot; we can afford a Ford then Mercedes will seem expensiveand quot;. Who talks to customers like that? when we said we need to think this over since we have a few more estimates to check, he said we have to decide immediately . We wanted him to leave the estimate so that we could think it over. He declined and left. What a waste of time!

"Maximo completed my basement and kitchen. He did exceptional work, not only did it come out to be beautiful but everything was great quality. Price was fair and he followed through with everything that he said he would do. He came when he said he would and was very respectful and friendly. I’ve been getting compliments from his jobs and would definitely recommend him for any of your flooring needs!"

Carpet Stretching FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals ensure effective adhesion by choosing the right adhesive for the materials, preparing surfaces properly, and applying pressure as needed. This attention to detail ensures durable connections in various applications from construction to repairs.

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.

Standard padding works like a sponge. It absorbs liquid, soaking up every drop of moisture that hits it. Moisture barrier padding does the opposite because it has a waterproof coating made of plastic film, rubber, or treated foam. It doesn’t absorb spills and keeps them on the surface instead, so you can clean them up before they damage your subfloor. 

It’s best to have a pro stretch your carpet before having it cleaned. A loose carpet is more difficult to clean, but a stretched carpet will be fixed firmly in place once the job is done. Cleaning a carpet can loosen it depending on the technique used. 

If you live in a region with high humidity, carpet bubbling can occur regularly. A dehumidifier can help keep your carpet flat during the most humid months.
