Carpet Stretching & Repair in Acton

Carpet wrinkles aren't just ugly, they're a safety hazard. Over time, carpet can loosen from humidity, foot traffic, or an improper initial installation. This leads to ripples and buckles that can cause trips and falls. We fix this the right way by using a power stretcher to pull your carpet tight, trimming the excess, and securing it properly. It's a straightforward fix that extends the life of your flooring and makes your home safer.

Why Does Carpet Get Loose?

Most carpet issues come down to a few common causes. Often, the original installer didn't use a power stretcher, relying only on a knee kicker. This results in a carpet that isn't truly taut and will loosen over time. Heavy foot traffic, especially in hallways, and the weight of heavy furniture can also cause stretching. Even humidity changes in your Acton home can make the carpet backing expand and contract, leading to looseness. We address the problem at its source, we don't just do a quick fix.

Our Carpet Stretching & Repair Process

Our process is direct and effective. First, we assess the room and determine the best stretching direction. We handle the careful moving of your large furniture pieces. Then, we use a professional power stretcher—the proper tool for the job—to pull the carpet tight across the entire room. This tool provides hundreds of pounds of tension for a durable, long-lasting result. Once stretched, we re-engage the carpet onto the tack strips, trim the excess material, and tuck it neatly for a clean edge. We also take care of any seam repairs or transition issues while we're there. We finish by vacuuming the area, leaving your room ready to use.

More Than Just Wrinkles

Beyond stretching, we handle other common carpet problems. If you have a split seam in a doorway or a burn mark from a dropped iron, we can often repair it. We do patch repairs by taking a matching piece of carpet from a remnant or an unseen area like a closet. We can also fix damaged transition strips that connect carpet to other flooring types.
