"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."

"Warm, friendly and professional, would best describe our experience with Simon Rayon and his team. This company isn't adverse to taking on small jobs and completing them in an expediant fashion. Quite creative as well, displaying impressive skills in problem solving with this specific job. Needed a custom section of wood floor trim to be used as a carpet transition strip, between a bedroom and the hallway, where an old seam would no longer stretch long enough to hide the seam itself. Simon created the transition strip on the spot with a sample of some wood flooring planks I had been holding as back up. Quite impressed with Simon's abilities, plus we were not charged a penny more for this additional work, which was not part of the original quote that was also quite reasonable. AAA++++ HIGHLY RECOMEND!"

"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

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).

You may be able to use super glue in a pinch to fix your carpet, but expect the repair to last only a short time. Super glue isn't designed for carpet, so over time, it'll break down, and the carpet piece will move out of place. For the best results, go to the store and grab a bottle of carpet seam glue. 

Carpet stretching can be a worthwhile investment to increase the lifespan of your carpet and eliminate unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. For an older carpet that is in relatively good condition aside from some wrinkling or bubbling, restretching can make it look like new and extend its life by at least a couple of years. You should consider restretching when you notice looseness or other related issues.

However, it's important to note that stretching will not fix issues like stains, wear in the pile, or discoloration. Consider replacing the carpet instead if the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new one. Additionally, if your carpet is past its expected lifespan of five to 15 years, or if it has been stretched multiple times already, replacement is likely a better option.

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

Steam cleaning is the best way to clean a carpet to enhance the color and texture of the fibers. You can either rent a steam cleaner and clean the carpet yourself or hire a local carpet cleaning team for a more thorough pass.
