"I was so impressed with John from Tempco. I called about needing a carpet stretched and he was at my house in one day. I thought he was just going to look over the carpet and give me an estimate. He did the stretching on the spot and the finished job looks beautiful. Very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend"

"The floors look great, wish we'd done years ago.
We went with the Bona satin with the amberseal which gave a more modern but still warm tone to the floor so that it would more closely match to other rooms that we did not refinish (for now). Mike we'll be calling you back when we're ready for those and thanks again!

"Ed was one of three invididuals who came to my home to provide a quote for the work I needed: repair of a damaged area in my kitchen floor as well as sanding/refinishing the kitchen floor and a bedroom floor where I had pulled up an old carpet. He was prompt, courteous, and clearly knowledgeable. His quote was actually the lowest of the three I obtained, but it was his long experience in the trade (and other excellent reviews) that convinced me to hire him. He was able to obtain a piece of reclaimed wood to repair the damage in the kitchen floor and integrated the repaired pieces seamlessly into the existing floorboards. The job was completed over a day and a half, and though I'm waiting to move furniture back into the rooms, the floors look wonderful. I will certainly hire him in the future if I need other hardwood floor repairs."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

While some carpet repair kits exist and only cost around $15, they are not usually appropriate for Berber repair. Typically, they include small pieces of fibers to use as patches, and Berber carpets are typically colored very differently from other kinds of carpets. This is why it is imperative to try and locate a spare piece of carpet from your original installation when you need to patch up an area.

In addition, the tools these kits include are often watered-down versions of the ones you can buy individually from your local hardware store (e.g., the glue in the kit will not be as strong as your hot glue gun or the double-sided carpet tape).

There are a few carpet maintenance tips you’ll want to use to keep your carpet looking brand-new. Make sure you tackle stains immediately, and only use cleaners gentle enough for your carpet's specific fibers. You can even pop area rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpeting to change the look of your space and protect the carpet below.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.

The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.

Carpet stretching can be a worthwhile investment to increase the lifespan of your carpet and eliminate unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. For an older carpet that is in relatively good condition aside from some wrinkling or bubbling, restretching can make it look like new and extend its life by at least a couple of years. You should consider restretching when you notice looseness or other related issues.

However, it's important to note that stretching will not fix issues like stains, wear in the pile, or discoloration. Consider replacing the carpet instead if the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new one. Additionally, if your carpet is past its expected lifespan of five to 15 years, or if it has been stretched multiple times already, replacement is likely a better option.
