"Amilcar was patient, friendly and professional. He wasn't rushed while working and he was very concerned that I'd be completely satisfied with the outcome of the repairs he made to my carpet as well as the re-installation of my carpet, before accepting payment! His price was more than fair and competitive with the other estimates I received. He never once tried to upcharge me (as some professionals do - after they arrive). I whole heartedly recommend Amilcar of Best Flooring! I'm very satisfied with his work and price."
"We are very happy & pleased with our carpet selection, purchase, installation and especially the personalized customer service provided by North Star Carpet . The carpet is beautiful-thick and luxurious . The owners are top notch. Pete Harris, even ordered us more carpet to fix an area that wasn't perfect. He came back, took care of our problem, himself, until it met our satisfaction. I will definetly recommend North Star Carpet to my friends."
"Wonderfully well. A specialist in stretching came in first and removed every bump. The owner Nathan, did the cleaning himself. He called the following day and ask how it was. I told him that the carpet looked great but there were a couple of spots that came up when it dried. Nathan immediately made arrangements to follow up with a visit to my home. He was a pleasure to deal with!"
Carpet stretching can be a worthwhile investment to increase the lifespan of your carpet and eliminate unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. For an older carpet that is in relatively good condition aside from some wrinkling or bubbling, restretching can make it look like new and extend its life by at least a couple of years. You should consider restretching when you notice looseness or other related issues.
However, it's important to note that stretching will not fix issues like stains, wear in the pile, or discoloration. Consider replacing the carpet instead if the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new one. Additionally, if your carpet is past its expected lifespan of five to 15 years, or if it has been stretched multiple times already, replacement is likely a better option.
Yes, you can revive carpet that’s flattened using household items like an ice cube and stiff brush, a damp cloth and an iron, baking soda and vinegar, and shaving cream. If you want to go all-out, visit a local home improvement store and buy a carpet rake, too. Depending on the state of your carpet, you may need to use more than one of these methods to see results. Keep in mind that you might need to repeat a reviving method more than once.
Frequent vacuuming and spot cleaning, plus periodic deep cleaning to preserve condition.
Vacuum regularly, clean spills promptly, and schedule professional deep cleaning annually.
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.
