"We recently purchased a home where three levels of the home needed carpeting replaced. Nancy came out, took time to explain the process, helped pick colors, and measured each room. Her pricing was competitive, and she was responsive with any questions. The crew came and finished the job in two days. Everyone was extremely professional, on time, and did an excellent job stretching the carpet into place. We are very happy with the finished rooms. Great job, Floor Coverings International!!"
"Shawn and his assistant did a great job stretching our basement carpet. There were able to work around a pool table that could not be moved, and lots of furniture. The amount of carpet they removed was incredible (it really needed stretching!) and it looks great. They were able to get the work done the same week I put in the request, did an great job communicating, and cleaned everything up afterwards. Would use again without a doubt."
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.
There are many types of carpet repairs that you might experience in your home, depending on the activity level in your home. Snags and tears are relatively common, especially if you have pets or tend to move furniture around often. Some other carpet repairs you might need include:
Burn damage
Water damage
Pet damage
Loose carpet
Severe stains
Use baking soda and vinegar or shaving cream to fix your carpet stains. But if you prefer a quicker solution, rent a carpet shampooer and use an enzyme-based cleaner to treat and resolve your discolored carpet issue.
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).
Through accurate measurements and dye matching to the original finishes.
