"Phillip Boulden is not just a carpet stretcher, he's a carpet stretching expert. He knows more about carpet stretching than you can imagine exists and he loves what he does. When he stretches carpet he even removes all the doors to ensure it's done right and uses tools that prevent carpet stretching devices from scuffing baseboards. I highly recommend this guy and he's worth every cent!"

The store subs out its installation work to qualified contractors.

Flooring Usa Inc bent over backwards to coordinate carpet installation with other contractors working on the house at the time. I was offered a bit of a discount on some extra carpet that was sitting around the store for a while and he wanted to move it. His price was an installed price. It included everything. No nickel and diming based on the phase of the moon, or extra travel, weird room shape, etc. His price was very competitive compared to others. It was a mostly vacant house. I gave them 50% down on an AMEX card. They showed up on time for the measurement as well as the install. After the install I drove down the next day and gave them the other 50%.

Subsequently, my brother needed to have the kitchen vinyl replaced at the same address. After getting nickeled and dimed and somewhat gouged by other companies I recommended he simply call Flooring USA. My brother went down there. When he gave the address the sales guy remembered the job from about 60 days prior. Again, gave my brother a deal on a roll of vinyl they wanted to move. Their scheduling was a bit out of sync with my brother's work schedule. My brother gave them ZERO down and the keys to the now vacant house. He came back into town 10 days later and the job was 100% complete. He called in the AMEX to pay for the job.

These folks are easy to work with and price competitive. They are worth a look.

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Yes, by patching or section replacement to blend seamlessly.

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.

If you want to save money on carpet repairs, there are a few ways to save without sacrificing quality. Some options you have include:

  • Cleaning set-in stains by renting a steam cleaner or using DIY carpet cleaning methods

  • Prepare the area for repairing yourself, such as moving furniture, to avoid unnecessary fees.

  • Protect high-traffic areas with a runner rug to avoid excessive wear and tear.

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.

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.
