"I recently moved into a new home in Middletown and needed some new carpet. I’ve never had to have carpet installed in a home so I had lots of questions. Roberto got back to me in a timely manner and made everything very easy for me. I appreciate that the only real job I had in it all was picking the style of carpet that best suited my family and I. Communication was quick and easy and he was very professional. I’ll definitely be recommending his services to family and friends."

"We have a lot of carpet that need to be cleaned and stretched and I cannot sing enough praise for All American. They were thorough, didn't cut any corners, and got the job quickly for how much work/furniture needed to be shuffled around. Highly recommend them and I would use them again without a second thought."

"I'm 70 years old & became a widow a year ago. I had a list of "Honey-Do" that was getting longer & longer. I finally reached out to Howard & he came right over. I handed him a list & he did everything that I asked him to do promptly. He will be my go-to-guy going forward & it is truly a relief knowing that I do have someone like Howard to take care of things that happen around here in my home especially that I'm alone now."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

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

Carpet tiles are less expensive than traditional carpet. The average cost of carpet installation is $1,800, or $3 to $11 per square foot. In comparison, carpet tiles cost $2.50 to $11 apiece and can often be bought in bulk cartons. Since you can more easily DIY carpet tiles, you may be able to save on installation costs, too.

The life span of carpet in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material’s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.

The cost of carpet repair is $204 on average. The typical range for this project is between $135 and $280 but can increase to $1,000 for severe pet damage repair. The type of repair, along with the carpet material, will impact your total price tag. 

The necessary type of carpet repair is a significant factor in the total price for this project. You can repair simple repairs, like tears and snags, for between $100 and $250. For more complex damage, like water or severe pet damage, prices can start at $300 and jump to $1,000 or more.  

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.
