"This gentleman stretched wall to wall carpeting that had buckled. He explained the procedure of stretching carpet and did so beautifully!! A thorough cleaning was also done. Exceptional service."
"Top Notch Carpets were quick to respond to my phone call. I told him that I needed to have some carpeting re-stretched on an upstairs landing and a master bedroom, He was able to do the work within a week of when I called. He arrived on time with an associate. They got to work right away. They did the landing first. Then they went into the master bedroom. All furniture was moved to be sure that they got a good stretch. Then they told me that the 2nd bedroom needed to be restretched a little so as to have a smooth transition to the landing. That was accomplished as well. They were very professional and polite. The job was well done."
"Excellent customer service and prompt call backs. Needed to have upper level carpet area ( 3 rooms and hallway) stretched and they did an excellent job. Price was fair and comparable to other quotes. Very experienced with carpet stretching and repair."
"Arrived as scheduled. Friendly and efficient. Two bedrooms carpeting stretched in under an hour. Now they are stretched, our carpets look like they did when we first moved in! Well worth the modest cost."
"They did a great job power stretching our carpets. They called the night before to confirm our appointment and showed up on time for the actual appointment."
"I had my carpets cleaned by A+ Carpet Pros and I couldn't be happier with the results! They removed years of dirt and stains, and my carpets look brand new again. The team was professional, on time, and very friendly. They took the time to explain everything and made sure I was happy with the work before they left. Highly recommend their services!"
Frequent vacuuming and spot cleaning, plus periodic deep cleaning to preserve condition.
The best way to fix carpet matting is to start by vacuuming thoroughly in multiple directions to lift the flattened fibers. For more stubborn spots, apply moisture with an ice cube or steam, then fluff the carpet using a spoon, comb, or carpet brush. A blow dryer or warm iron over a damp towel can also help restore the carpet’s texture. For deep or widespread matting, a professional cleaning is your best bet to fluff your carpet back up to its former glory.
It’s best to have a pro stretch your carpet before having it cleaned. A loose carpet is more difficult to clean, but a stretched carpet will be fixed firmly in place once the job is done. Cleaning a carpet can loosen it depending on the technique used.
You’ll know if your carpet is stretched enough if it lies completely flat and smooth across your floor. If you have ripples, wrinkled areas, or carpet piling up along the baseboards, these are telltale signs that your carpet is not fully stretched. Release the carpet from the tack strip along one wall and use a stretcher or knee kicker to stretch out the carpet before securing it again.
An Oriental rug should last between 50 and 100 years, on average, but yours could last much longer than a century if you care for it properly. There are many factors that affect the lifespan of an Oriental rug, though. Increased foot traffic, exposure to moisture, exposure to UV light and sunlight, and aggressive cleaning can all limit how long your rug will last.
