"Outstanding! We wanted to replace the carpeting in our bedroom and den, and Simple Flooring did a fantastic job! Igor and his team were knowledgable and professional and answered all of our questions. On installation day they moved all of our big furniture, installed the carpet faster than promised, moved everything back, and left the place cleaner than when they started! We will definitely work with Simple Flooring when it comes time to replace our hardwood floors. Thanks for a great job!!"

"Initial measurements were taken at my house and carpet ordered.  One week later contracted carpet installer came but was concerned there wouldn't be enough carpeting for my 3 rooms.  As a result, he had to spend extra time cutting and lining up seams instead of just putting down one big piece.  Started at 10:30am and not finished till @4-5pm.  At least I know I didn't pay for any unnecessary remnants!  That being said, carpet installer "Phillip" did an excellent job and carpet looks great at what I feel was a very fair price.

Carpet Stretching FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals ensure effective adhesion by choosing the right adhesive for the materials, preparing surfaces properly, and applying pressure as needed. This attention to detail ensures durable connections in various applications from construction to repairs.

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.

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.

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

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.
