"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!"

"Jose was friendly, professional and very adept in his carpet stretching knowledge and skills. While he may not be the least expensive option, he was thoughtful, caring and efficient in doing the best, long-lasting job possible."
"I recently had JLS Carpet & More install wall-to-wall carpet in my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. John and Sundae began by carefully moving all the furniture out of the room, taking great care to protect everything. They then spent several hours installing high-quality padding and carpeting with attention to detail. Both John and Sundae were a pleasure to work with—friendly, courteous, and clearly experienced. Their professionalism and commitment to doing the job right really stood out. I highly recommend JLS Carpet & More to anyone looking for carpet installation for their home or office. You’ll be in excellent hands."
"I went great. He was on time, friendly, fast, and gave me instructions at the end. Carpet cleaing in general has gotten pretty pricey for anyone that does not leave your carpet soaked and they left it pretty dry. It was a great job."
"Very good workmanship and very thorough. We has a minor flood in our master suite. We pulled the carpet up ourselves and removed the soaked pad. After we dried the carpet we called Carpets R us to put down new pad and re-stretch the carpet. They did an outstanding job and cleaned and sanitized our carpet too."
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.
"Richard, the Sales Associate, came out to our home for the estimate exactly at the time he said he would be there. He also brought samples for us to look at while he was measuring the rooms. Richard was extremely pleasant and informative and we scheduled the work that same day. The installers, two gentlemen whose names I unfortunately don't remember, called to let me know they were on their way and they also arrived at the time promised. Those two men worked extremely hard and fast and did an excellent job! They even pointed out to me some changes they wanted to make that made the carpet look so much better where it would meet at tile the floors in kitchen and entry ways. On a side note, Carpet Barn had also installed our tile floors in the kitchen and bathrooms several years back so we knew we were in good hands."
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.
Pros use power stretchers that secure the carpet firmly in place.
Bumps, wrinkles, or detachment often require stretching for smoothness.
It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.
You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can’t remove it all.
