Q: How do I maintain installed carpet?

• <div><p>Vacuum regularly, clean spills promptly, and schedule professional deep cleaning annually.</p></div>

Q: Can you stretch carpet with furniture on it?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t remove it all.</p></div>

Q: Should you stretch carpet before or after cleaning?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to have a pro stretch your carpet before having it cleaned. A loose carpet is more difficult to clean, but a stretched carpet will be fixed firmly in place once the job is done. Cleaning a carpet can loosen it depending on the technique used. </p></div>

Q: Can you repair carpet without replacing it?

• <div><p>The answer depends on the size of the problem. If the carpet damage is small, then you or a pro can fix it with a carpet patch. This commonly includes things like burn marks from fireplaces or small holes from furniture snagging on it.</p><p>Other times, replacing the carpet rather than repairing it is best. For example, if you have large, worn sections, water damage, or can&rsquo;t get rid of a strong odor, it may be time for a replacement. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-carpet-removal-cost.htm">Carpet removal costs</a> average <b>$180 </b>plus the cost of new carpet installation.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace just a section of carpet?

• <div><p>You can use a carpet patch to replace a single section of carpet. You&rsquo;ll cut out the damaged section and then replace it with a caret patch. The patch should be the same color as the existing carpet. You can also hire a professional carpet repair company to get it done. </p></div>

Scott is an owner/operator and has been in business for several decades. I didn't want to hire a firm that would just send out an employee to do the cleaning. Scott paid attention to the details, took the time to do a thorough job, told me about the tough spots, moved items to clean underneath...

The day before the move, they came out and conducted an estimate. The final bill was really close to the estimate. It was actually under the estimated cost. When they arrived the next morning, they were on time and ready for work. While we only had approximately 15000-20000 lbs. they loaded it...
