"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 Castle, owner of Puzzleman, called promptly after I placed my project on Home Advisor. We arranged for him to come and give an estimate. We agreed on the estimated price, and I asked him to do the job immediately. He started the job stretching my carpet in one room, and it was completed in about 1 hour. He and his assistant did an excellent job. They exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Puzzleman and will hire them again for installing, repairing or stretching my carpet. Puzzleman is a first class and very professional service."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

In addition to having your carpets professionally cleaned, most carpet cleaners offer a range of supplemental services and treatments, including:

  • Patching and repairing holes: $100–$250 per hole

  • Carpet stretching to remove wrinkles: $60 per hour

  • Water extraction: $450–$2,000, depending on square footage

  • Pet stain and odor removal: $30–$50 per hour

  • Furniture and upholstery cleaning: $50–$80 per item

  • Furniture moving and removal: $10–$50 per item

  • Padding replacement: $4–$7 per square foot

  • Teflon treatment: $20–$40 per project

  • Environmentally friendly carpet cleaning: $100–$200 per room

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.

Through accurate measurements and dye matching to the original finishes.

Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:

  • Stains that are impossible to remove.

  • A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.

  • An increase in allergy symptoms.

  • The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.

When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.
