"This was a life-saver. I was afraid no one could repair the damage to my very expensive carpeting. But Sean and his co-worker fixed every issue and even replaced the carpet tacks that weren't at the right level from the first installation. They used some extra carpet that I had to put in new pieces where the damage was too extensive to fix. They were so knowledgeable and good to explain the cause of every problem. It finally now looks like it did before the water damage."

"William responded to my listing the same day and came to look at the job right away. He completed the work (carpet re-stretching) on the spot. He did an excellent job, and was pleasant and honest. He is a hard worker. I highly recommend him!"

"Raul and his workers were very good to work with. They were there to work when they said they would be. They were very good at covering the carpet with cloths to keep it clean as we have a 2 yr old in the house. They also cleaned up before they left for the day. They did a great job and it looks beautiful! Seems like they really take pride in their work. I will be calling them again soon to do our second bathroom."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

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.

You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can’t remove it all.

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.

Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:

  • Stains that are impossible to remove.

  • A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.

  • An increase in allergy symptoms.

  • The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.

When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.

Most people realize it is time to replace the padding when the carpet loses springiness or feels thin and unsupportive. Other telltale signs are lumps or dips in the carpet that could look unattractive or cause tripping hazards. Similarly, if your carpet is making a crinkly sound or starting to wear out prematurely, you might need to replace your padding.
