Carpet Stretching Guaranteed for Life at a Fraction of the Cost of Replacement!

Over time, carpet can develop wrinkles, ripples, or bumps especially in high traffic areas. This can be caused from improper installation or simply normal wear over time which can cause the carpet to expand and develop wrinkles. Not only does it cause permanent damage to your carpet if left to remain, but it also makes your carpet look old and worn out no matter how new it is. It is embarrassing to have friends and family over, and most importantly it is a safety hazard. Wrinkles and bumps in carpet can cause serious harm to elderly who may trip and fall over them. 

This is where stretching comes in. Carpet stretching is a process where the carpet is pulled off the tack strip around the perimeter of the room and then stretched tight to remove all the wrinkles and ripples. When performed correctly, carpet stretching can help you remove the unsightly bumps and bubbles in your flooring without the need for a full replacement. The process involves using a power stretcher and other specialty tools to ensure the carpet never becomes loose again.

It is best to have your carpet stretching done by professionals, as they have the right tools and techniques to stretch your carpet correctly. Furthermore, professionals will ensure that no wrinkles or bumps will reappear shortly after the job is done. You should always choose a company that guarantees the stretch for as long as you own the carpet. 

If your carpet is looking old or getting wrinkled, fear not! While your local carpet shop would prefer you to believe you need to replace it, the reality is that it’s much cheaper to just re-stretch the carpet you already have. This simple carpet repair will leave your carpet looking and feeling good as new for a fraction of the cost of replacement! 

"Why not just buy new carpet? Is it really worth stretching my carpet?"

Carpet stretching can extend the life of your carpet another 10 years or more in some cases. The average cost for new carpet is around $5.00-$10.00 per square foot compared to the cost of carpet stretching that can range from $0.62-$0.75 per square foot, iterally pennies on the dollar. In addition, you are going to feel good knowing that you are helping to reduce the amount of carpet & pad going into landfills. 

Two Questions You Must Ask Before Hiring a Carpet Stretching Company

There are many companies to choose from with a wide range of pricing. How do you put the odds in your favor that you will choose a professional that will do the job right? If you are looking for carpet stretching services and you want it done so that it will last, make sure you ask every company you consider these two questions.

1. Do you use a power stretcher rather than a knee kicker? 

2. Do you give a written lifetime guarantee on the stretch? 

If the answer is NO to either one of these questions, move on! Looking for the cheapest service is not always the best option. As is true with most services, you get what you pay for.
