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

• <div><p>Your room doesn&rsquo;t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you&rsquo;ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you&rsquo;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>

Q: How do I know if my carpet is stretched enough?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stretch-carpet.htm">stretch out the carpet</a> before securing it again.</p></div>

Q: Can a professional repair pet-damaged carpets?

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

Q: How do you fix discolored carpet?

• <div><p>Use baking soda and vinegar or shaving cream to fix your carpet stains. But if you prefer a quicker solution, rent a carpet shampooer and use an enzyme-based cleaner to treat and resolve your discolored carpet issue. </p></div>

Q: What's the difference between standard and moisture barrier padding?

• <div><p>Standard padding works like a sponge. It absorbs liquid, soaking up every drop of moisture that hits it. Moisture barrier padding does the opposite because it has a waterproof coating made of plastic film, rubber, or treated foam. It doesn&rsquo;t absorb spills and keeps them on the surface instead, so you can clean them up before they damage your subfloor. </p></div>

Great as usual. Carpets come home clean and delivery/ pick-up personnel are always helpful by rolling up and relaying the large area rugs.
