Q: How much gap do you need for transition strips?

• <div><p>Most transition strips measure two to five inches wide, but it varies by floor type. The right gap for your flooring depends on the look you prefer. A wider gap allows more room for expansion, whereas a narrower gap requires a smaller transition strip but leaves less expansion room. You should have at least a one-inch gap between any floor types, but sometimes more.</p></div>

Q: What are common types of carpet repairs?

• <div><p>There are many types of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-hole-in-carpet.htm">carpet repairs</a> that you might experience in your home, depending on the activity level in your home. Snags and tears are relatively common, especially if you have pets or tend to move furniture around often. Some other carpet repairs you might need include:</p><ul><li><p>Burn damage</p></li><li><p>Water damage</p></li><li><p>Pet damage</p></li><li><p>Loose carpet </p></li><li><p>Severe stains</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Are stairs safer with carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, carpeted stairs are safer because carpet helps reduce the chances of slips and falls compared to harder materials like wood, vinyl, tile, or steel staircases, which lack the friction needed for a secure tread. And, if you do happen to fall, carpeted stairs also have more cushioning in the case of an accident.</p></div>

Q: How often should carpets be stretched?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, restretch your carpets once every five years, though this timeframe depends on a number of factors, such as the level of foot traffic in the area. If the carpet looks wrinkled and there are loosened areas on the floor, go for the restretch. If everything looks and feels fine, you are good.</p></div>

Q: Can a professional repair pet-damaged carpets?

• <div><p>Yes, by patching or section replacement to blend seamlessly.</p></div>

Fantastic! Billy was prompt, personable and professional, and he did a fantastic job. Honestly, I thought I was going to have to replace the carpet in a few rooms but they turned out looking brand new. Highly recommend Quality Carpet Cleaning of Memphis if you need your carpets cleaned!
