"Mike was extremely helpful adding carpet pad and stretching carpet after a water issue in the basement. He was professional, flexible, and communicated every step for a small job that most contractors wouldn’t give this attention to detail. He gave me a quote instantly and followed up with me about times to complete as I waited for insurance to inspect. Vision also assisted me with an easy solution to replace the baseboard. I would highly recommend Vision for your flooring needs, it is tough to find contractors that care about the customer and take pride in their work. Thanks again!!"

"Pros from start to fantastic finish. Horacio came in and gave us an estimate we thought was such a good deal, we added a room and a stairwell carpeting and we could still afford it. He was courteous, listened to questions, and took time to answer. We told him we would get back to him after our other estimates. The national company with the phone number jingle came next. The first thing that person did was talk trash about a competitor, try to scare us that only a structural engineer could possibly handle our (lumpy, slopey) floor, and while he was coming up with an estimate number, told us "the chinamen in my tablet are taking a long time thinking about this." Generally against racism, so we knew he was out, but he scared us with his floor assessment. We called VRP back and explained our concerns, and Horacio came out AGAIN the very next day (free of charge), heard the concerns, and came up with a solution that did not increase our estimate. We scheduled right then. When the work day came, they were on time and went straight to it. They worked 8 to 3 ripping out our old carpet and installing new carpet and vinyl plank. It looks amazing!! They must have structural engineers in the family, because the "issue" the national guy tried to scare us with was no issue for them. I really couldn't be happier. I'll call them to re-do the kitchen floors when we're ready. Hire these people, you will be so happy you did. Check out the before and after of the stairs and the floor! Less"

"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."

"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

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and revive your carpet. 

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).

In addition to having your carpets professionally cleaned, most carpet cleaners offer a range of supplemental services and treatments, including:

  • Patching and repairing holes: $100–$250 per hole

  • Carpet stretching to remove wrinkles: $60 per hour

  • Water extraction: $450–$2,000, depending on square footage

  • Pet stain and odor removal: $30–$50 per hour

  • Furniture and upholstery cleaning: $50–$80 per item

  • Furniture moving and removal: $10–$50 per item

  • Padding replacement: $4–$7 per square foot

  • Teflon treatment: $20–$40 per project

  • Environmentally friendly carpet cleaning: $100–$200 per room

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction and friction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls. Additionally, if a fall does occur, carpet offers more cushioning, which can lessen the severity of an injury. While hard surfaces can look great, they are often more slippery. However, it's worth noting that some carpets, especially if they are new, dirty, or have a slick texture, can also pose a slipping hazard. To improve safety on any type of stair surface, you can add traction treads to increase grip.
