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

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Is it cheaper to lay carpet or carpet tiles?

• <div><p>Carpet tiles are less expensive than traditional carpet. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">cost of carpet installation</a> is $1,800, or $3 to $11 per square foot. In comparison, carpet tiles cost $2.50 to $11 apiece and can often be bought in bulk cartons. Since you can more easily DIY carpet tiles, you may be able to save on installation costs, too. </p></div>

What happens if you don’t put padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a> over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.</p></div>

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: How to fix squeaky floorboards without removing carpet?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t put padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won&rsquo;t be protected from wear on the underside.

It went well and quickly. The day before we emptied the rooms. That took us serious time and effort! He came in and did the cleaning work in roughly an hour. The cleaning really improved the look of the carpets.

Paul was prompt. He was very careful to not soil our beige carpet in taking out the old tank and putting in the new. He had to go under our house to add the drainage line.
