"The Carpet Guys are GREAT! Our three upstairs bedroom carpets had stretched and rippled over the years... thanks, in large part, to my son's knee surgery and his crutches. We found Carpet Guys here through "Angi"... they contacted us immediately about our project... the price was very reasonable... and they were here the next day to fix our carpeting. Lee was fantastic! He worked all day on those three rooms... how he moved some of our furniture, I'll never know... but when he was done, I was amazed to see I had three rooms of carpeting that looked brand new again. The rooms were spotless when he finished the job. Not only do I highly recommend the Carpet Guys... I'll be calling them again when its time to replace the carpeting in our Rec room."

"We are very happy with the quality of service. From the beginning, Seth explained in detail what our options were (materials needed, procedure and costs) and didn't try to force anything extra on us. They pulled the carpet, repaired the sub floor and laid the vinyl tiles all in one day while sending photos/videos regularly to update us on the status of the project. I definitely recommend them."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Carpet stretching isn’t permanent, but it can last anywhere from two to six years. The longevity of this project depends on the quality of the carpet and whether it’s in a high-traffic area. You might not be able to stretch old or damaged carpets because they can tear. Certain fibers, like nylon, stretch better than others.

You’ll know if your carpet is stretched enough if it lies completely flat and smooth across your floor. If you have ripples, wrinkled areas, or carpet piling up along the baseboards, these are telltale signs that your carpet is not fully stretched. Release the carpet from the tack strip along one wall and use a stretcher or knee kicker to stretch out the carpet before securing it again.

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.

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.

Professionals ensure effective adhesion by choosing the right adhesive for the materials, preparing surfaces properly, and applying pressure as needed. This attention to detail ensures durable connections in various applications from construction to repairs.
