Is it worth re-stretching the carpet?

• <div><p>Stretching a carpet should be a one-time job. If by re-stretching you mean doing it a second (or third) time, it’s probably better to replace it altogether. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Most carpets are expected to last</a> anywhere from five to 15 years, so if it’s past that timeframe, you may want to shop around for a new one.</p></div>

How can I save money on carpet repairs?

• <div><p>If you want to save money on carpet repairs, there are a few ways to save without sacrificing quality. Some options you have include:</p><ul><li><p>Cleaning set-in stains by renting a steam cleaner or using <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-carpet-without-cleaner.htm">DIY carpet cleaning methods</a>. </p></li><li><p>Prepare the area for repairing yourself, such as moving furniture, to avoid unnecessary fees.</p></li><li><p>Protect high-traffic areas with a runner rug to avoid excessive wear and tear.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Why does padding stick to the floors?

• <div><p>There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:</p><ul><li><p>There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.</p></li><li><p>The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.</p></li><li><p>Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.</p></li></ul><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-smell-pet-urine-out-carpet.htm">removing pet urine odors</a> to prevent future problems.</p></div>

Extremely well. Wayne was a professional. He showed up ahead of schedule and went to work. It took him a little over 2 hours between stretching and then cleaning up. My carpet upstairs looks so much better I am very happy I found him. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
