Carpet Stretching

Cleaning is not a repair for loose carpet. Wrinkles need assessment for stretching or another installation-related correction.

Access depends on the room and job. We will discuss what needs moving, who will move it, and what is included in the quote.

Tell us if you need both. We will discuss the appropriate order for your carpet and the scope of each service.

Yes — ripples, waves, and bumps are what carpet stretching is for. Carpet that has gone loose gets pulled tight again with a power stretcher, the edge is tucked back along the baseboard, and the room lies flat the way it did when it was installed. It is usually far cheaper than replacing carpet that is otherwise in good shape. Send us a photo of the ripples or call (615) 521-8900 and we will tell you straight whether stretching is the right fix for yours.

First we assess the room — where the carpet is loose, the condition of the carpet and its installation, and what furniture and transitions are involved. Then the power stretcher goes to work: its head grips the carpet and pulls it tight toward the wall, the excess is trimmed at the wall, and the edge is tucked back along the baseboard, repeated along the full run of the wall until the looseness is out. Seams are re-done together with the stretching work when they need it. When we scope your job we will walk you through exactly what your rooms need before we start.

It depends on the size of the room, how loose the carpet is, and how much furniture has to be worked around, so we price stretching after seeing the job rather than guessing from a chart. Stretching is usually far cheaper than replacing the carpet, and we agree on the work and the price with you before we start. Send us a photo of the ripples or call (615) 521-8900 for an estimate.

About an hour a room, depending on the furniture and what is in it — a main floor is roughly the number of rooms times an hour. Heavy pieces slow the job down. When we scope yours from photos, we will give you the time picture along with the price, before you book, so you can plan around it.

A correct power stretch normally holds about five years. What brings ripples back is usually the house itself — heat and cold expanding and contracting it — or carpet that was installed too loose in the first place. We stretch with a power stretcher, the correct procedure; a kicker does not stretch carpet, so ask any company which tool they use before you book.

Yes. We warranty our carpet stretching for one year. Your carpets need an annual clean — when we come back for it, we will re-stretch those carpets for free. If you need it sooner, let's get you on the schedule — if it is under warranty, the re-stretch is free. Call or text (615) 521-8900.

No. We bring sliders and slide the furniture ourselves. The rule is simple: if it does not slide safely, it will not be moved — beds are often too heavy to move, and there we do a workaround instead. Clear personal and valuable items off surfaces before we arrive, and send photos ahead so the furniture plan is part of your quote.

Age alone does not settle it — condition does. The one case that is too far gone is carpet separating from its glue backing; that will not hold a stretch, and we will tell you before you spend anything. While carpet is up on a job, we also replace pad wherever we can reach it and clean the subfloor for pet issues. Photos first — wide and close-up — and we will give you a straight read.
