"We went to their showroom, which has a huge selection of carpets that can be turned into stair runners. Far more than any store I have been to in the Triangle. Once we chose a carpet, we set up an appointment for measuring, and then installation was set up. The quality was outstanding, and the work was done extremely quickly. I know that carpeting curved stairs can be very tricky, especially with aligning patterns. We were quoted two days, but the team finished in just one day -- by skipping lunch and staying late. The price was also excellent. I was amazed at the worksmanship. We had purchased hardwood floors previously from floors to go, with installation, and also had a great experience with that as well. I highly recommend this extremely experienced team."

"Chip contacted me within hours of receiving my inquiry and provided me with a very competitive estimate. Chip brought his co-worker Dennis to our home a few days later, which just happened to be New Year's Day, and completed our carpet stretching project in a matter of hours. Chip took the time to explain what was happening with our carpet and walked me through how he was going to fix it. When the job was complete, he and Dennis had everything cleaned up and looking AMAZING. I am so incredibly happy with his work, and will hire him again for any future project. I highly recommend Chip...five starts isn't enough to rate Chip, his crew, and the work they did for us! Absolutely outstanding!"

"I've used Triangle Carpet Specialists 3 times over the last month on rental properties that I own.  In each case they showed up on time or a few minutes early.  The carpet steam cleaning was the best I've ever had - you could really feel the steam throughout the house.  When I've had carpet installed the estimate was an exact match to the final cost.  The workers were very fast and were very careful to cleanup and move furniture back into place.  The finish quality was great.  I highly recommend Triangle Carpet Specialists."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

If you want to save money on carpet repairs, there are a few ways to save without sacrificing quality. Some options you have include:

  • Cleaning set-in stains by renting a steam cleaner or using DIY carpet cleaning methods

  • Prepare the area for repairing yourself, such as moving furniture, to avoid unnecessary fees.

  • Protect high-traffic areas with a runner rug to avoid excessive wear and tear.

Hiring a pro to stretch a carpet costs anywhere from $100 to $300, though this price increases if you also task the contractor to remove and replace the furniture from the room. Doing it on your own maxes out at $100, though renting the power stretcher and knee kicker extend the cost in some instances.

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.

The life span of carpet in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material’s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.

You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can’t remove it all.
