Does a room have to be empty to restretch the carpet?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do pros ensure a tight fit during carpet stretching?

• <div><p>Pros use power stretchers that secure the carpet firmly in place.</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: 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: Are stairs safer with carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, carpeted stairs are safer because carpet helps reduce the chances of slips and falls compared to harder materials like wood, vinyl, tile, or steel staircases, which lack the friction needed for a secure tread. And, if you do happen to fall, carpeted stairs also have more cushioning in the case of an accident.</p></div>
