"He was on time, professional and polite. Cleaned up after/during the job. (5 rooms) Our home is fairly new and the builders did a terrible job with the carpet that caused it to be wavy. But Charlie came to stretch the carpet and it is GREAT!!! I wish I would have found him sooner."

"I'm so glad a friend recommended Donnie to me!  He is such a nice guy and has an admirable work ethic!  Just kept going until the job was done, and so reasonable!  Definitely helped me stretch my budget. Hard to find someone so caring and sincere:)  After he tiled my sun room, I  had him come back to do the yard...AMAZING difference :)...and will continue to call him whenever I can use his services..  Yesterday he helped my neighbor with a yard clean up before her arrival back home from a long trip!  Thank you Donnie!"

Carpet Stretching FAQs, 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.

The answer depends on the size of the problem. If the carpet damage is small, then you or a pro can fix it with a carpet patch. This commonly includes things like burn marks from fireplaces or small holes from furniture snagging on it.

Other times, replacing the carpet rather than repairing it is best. For example, if you have large, worn sections, water damage, or can’t get rid of a strong odor, it may be time for a replacement. Carpet removal costs average $180 plus the cost of new carpet installation.

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.

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.

Bumps, wrinkles, or detachment often require stretching for smoothness.
