Q: How often should carpets be stretched?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, restretch your carpets once every five years, though this timeframe depends on a number of factors, such as the level of foot traffic in the area. If the carpet looks wrinkled and there are loosened areas on the floor, go for the restretch. If everything looks and feels fine, you are good.</p></div>

Q: How much gap do you need for transition strips?

• <div><p>Most transition strips measure two to five inches wide, but it varies by floor type. The right gap for your flooring depends on the look you prefer. A wider gap allows more room for expansion, whereas a narrower gap requires a smaller transition strip but leaves less expansion room. You should have at least a one-inch gap between any floor types, but sometimes more.</p></div>

Q: What are common types of carpet repairs?

• <div><p>There are many types of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-hole-in-carpet.htm">carpet repairs</a> that you might experience in your home, depending on the activity level in your home. Snags and tears are relatively common, especially if you have pets or tend to move furniture around often. Some other carpet repairs you might need include:</p><ul><li><p>Burn damage</p></li><li><p>Water damage</p></li><li><p>Pet damage</p></li><li><p>Loose carpet </p></li><li><p>Severe stains</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do you fix bubbling carpet?

• <div><p>The correct method to fix bubbling carpet depends on the cause. If the bubbles are caused by moisture, drying out the carpet can help flatten it. Otherwise, a pro might need to restretch or reinstall the carpet to fix the issue.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my carpet is stretched enough?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stretch-carpet.htm">stretch out the carpet</a> before securing it again.</p></div>

Great job. Had carpet and rugs looking like new and it was dry within an hour or so. Not like other steam places where it was wet for over a day.
