"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!"
Bumps, wrinkles, or detachment often require stretching for smoothness.
Standard padding works like a sponge. It absorbs liquid, soaking up every drop of moisture that hits it. Moisture barrier padding does the opposite because it has a waterproof coating made of plastic film, rubber, or treated foam. It doesn’t absorb spills and keeps them on the surface instead, so you can clean them up before they damage your subfloor.
The correct method to fix bubbling carpet depends on the cause. If the bubbles are caused by moisture, drying out the carpet can help flatten it. Otherwise, a pro might need to restretch or reinstall the carpet to fix the issue.
There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:
There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.
The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.
Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.
If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.
Your room doesn’t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you’ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you’re reattaching the carpet. A contractor will move your furniture out of the way before they start the job, but you can save money by moving your furniture before they arrive.
