"I cannot say enough good things about All Points Carpet Care. The owner was very responsive, and called before the consultation and appointment just to verify that the times were correct and that they were on the way. The quote was very affordable, and he estimated the time needed for the job almost exactly, and was able to schedule me right away. The carpets in my entire house were stretched where needed and cleaned thoroughly. He made my carpets look like new and I would absolutely hire him again. By far one of the most professional people I have used in my history of owning a home and I'm thrilled with the results."

"It was AMAZING! I rarely write reviews but this one truly warrants it. Tim McLaughlin, the Sales Manager, was incredibly helpful when we visited the showroom. He listened to what we didn't like about our current carpet and directed us to the perfect carpet for us. He gave us samples to bring home to make final color selection. Tim sent THE BEST crew to do our install. My husband and I were very nervous, given our prior experience with another company. But Miguel and his team showed up ahead of schedule and were extremely professional. The best word I can think of to describe them is "artists". They did an outstanding job and far exceeded our expectations. We were so grateful for the overall experience dealing with Tim, Miguel and his crew. I am recommending them to friends, family, and co-workers. If you are in the market for flooring, you should absolutely check them out. You won't be sorry."

"Scott and Mark were great! They did a fantastic job under circumstances that were not easy (unfortunately my circuit breaker on the upstairs due to the age of my home kept tripping and poor Mark kept having to reset it every 5 minutes. He did it without a single complaint and even with a smile on his face!) I also hired them to clean my entire home. This was so convenient for me because time is not always on my side due to my work schedule. The outcome was nothing but perfect. The carpets look new, smell fresh and clean and the stretched carpet looks amazing!!!!!! The price was great! Scott and Mark were professional, fast and couldn't have been nicer with a touch of humor!!!!!! I would highly recommend them, in fact, my Mom who was with me and loved the job they did will be calling them to stretch her carpets."

Carpet Stretching FAQs, answered by experts

The best way to fix carpet matting is to start by vacuuming thoroughly in multiple directions to lift the flattened fibers. For more stubborn spots, apply moisture with an ice cube or steam, then fluff the carpet using a spoon, comb, or carpet brush. A blow dryer or warm iron over a damp towel can also help restore the carpet’s texture. For deep or widespread matting, a professional cleaning is your best bet to fluff your carpet back up to its former glory.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.

Vomit contains organic fluids along with whatever else comes out with it. When left without cleaning, vomit, and its odor can reach deep into carpet fibers and become very difficult to remove without a deep cleaning. In some cases, the combination can cause permanent carpet staining.  

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.

An Oriental rug should last between 50 and 100 years, on average, but yours could last much longer than a century if you care for it properly. There are many factors that affect the lifespan of an Oriental rug, though. Increased foot traffic, exposure to moisture, exposure to UV light and sunlight, and aggressive cleaning can all limit how long your rug will last.
