"I needed to have my carpet and padding removed from one bedroom. They came at the time they said and began the work. It took them almost 3 hours to finish. Both men were kind and professional. They did a very good job of removing all the nails and staples. Very happy with the job they did. I will recommend them to anyone that needs this done in their home."

"My wife and I were very happy with the professionalism, courteousness and friendly demeanor exhibited by all of the Premier tradesmen assigned to our project. ?They were quick to explain what they were doing and what would ?be done next. ?We ran into a snag on our part when the paint chosen for the basement walls did not look as we had expected. ?They did not blink when my wife changed the paint, fortunately we were able to use that basement paint on another project. ?We used a separate company to install flooring in our kitchen and bathroom. Coordinating the two companies was extremely easy to do. ?The office staff was very accommodating and able to schedule work with little delay. ? My wife and I both work outside our home, so the Premier crew was usually gone when we returned home in the evenings. ?If we had any questions about what was happening they were happy to take time the next morning to answer and they made sure we understood what they were doing and why. ? All of the work they did was done right the first time and it all looks great. I really can't overstate how happy we are with this company. ?From the estimator that came to review the damage, the construction supervisors, the carpenters, painters and carpet cleaners, the scheduler and accounts receivable clerk in the office; all very courteous, friendly and above all professional. ?? We have dealt with some really bad contractors in the past, the kind the end up doing everything twice,?and we were wary about dealing with any contractor. ?This organization is a credit to the restoration industry. ? ?"

"I first used Marshall Albertson's excellent services at my previous home.  He was hired to install wide plank pine flooring in my living room after my retired-union-carpenter husband had installed it everywhere else.  My husband was not able to complete the job due to illness and was prepared to dislike the work of the young man who was finishing it. That didn't work out so well because Marshall is an expert at installing flooring.  He knows what he's doing and he does it well.  He earned a lot of respect on that job.  Later he installed carpeting and tile in several other areas of the house.  Watching him install carpeting is like watching a magician, and watching him install wood is like watching an artist at work.

"Modern Marvels was the primary contractor in the demolition and reconstruction of the interior of an industrial property of mine in downtown St. Louis. They came through for me on a tight timeline, getting every part of the job done on time, and exceeded expectations in how they handled things. I will work with them again."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

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.

While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not.

Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:

  • Stains that are impossible to remove.

  • A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.

  • An increase in allergy symptoms.

  • The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.

When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.

Your room doesn’t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you’ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you’re reattaching the carpet. A contractor will move your furniture out of the way before they start the job, but you can save money by moving your furniture before they arrive.
