Q: Can repairs improve carpet lifespan?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance and professional repairs can extend the life of a carpet.</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>

Q: Is it suitable for every carpet type?

• <div><p>No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.</p></div>

Q: Can a professional repair pet-damaged carpets?

• <div><p>Yes, by patching or section replacement to blend seamlessly.</p></div>

He came the same day to clean my upholstered loveseat and chair. He was also able to clean 3 other upholstered pieces of furniture, an area rug, and shampoo the living room carpet--he did everything and was awesome! He went above and beyond to help me, was very polite, and professional.
