How long does carpet stretching last?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

How long does carpet protection last?

• <div><p>You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-clean-and-revive-carpet-pile.htm">revive your carpet</a>. </p></div>

What happens if you don’t put padding under carpet?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a> over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.</p></div>

Does a room have to be empty to restretch the carpet?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

my experience with Red Hot Carpet was excellent! I had kicked a can of white paint onto a green carpet, then walked through it. Nevin was able to remove the paint stain, and you can't even tell that it happened! Booking an appointment was easy and fast! My carpets look excellent and that's a...

Did a great job on the couch and loveseat. Very pleased and they look like new. Carpet cleaning was good but wished they had cleaned under a basket on the carpet that could have been moved easily

Lani arrived on time and spent close to an hour cleaning carpets. We had a stubborn oil based stain that he spent a long time working on for us. The carpets looked and smelled great. He offered to return at no charge if any of the stains came back.

Everything turned out great. I would use him again. He made sure to keep my carpets clean, he put a tarp down, and explained everything he was doing. He was very nice.

The sofa and easy chair turned out beautifully--they look just as they did when they were new. For the family room, Doug explained to me that that degree of urine spotting was beyond industry standards for what was feasible to treat. He said that he could treat the carpet, but he felt that the...

I liked Fike Bros Carpet One Floor and Home. There wasn't anything I disliked. They did good work. If something wasn't right, they would be sure to fix it right away.

We have carpet in two bedrooms and den and four stairwells. The carpet layers did an excellent job and the carpet still looks new two years later. We had to remove furniture from rooms so that they could install the carpet. They accommodated by scheduling the installation on two days--Friday...

They were professional on the phone, came over to the house later the same day to measure, and were very helpful in the store. They had a good selection of carpeting that was 'green'. Installation was professional and quick.
