Carpet Stretching & Repair in Cobourg

It’s unsettling when you notice waves and wrinkles forming in your carpet. Not only do they look untidy, but they can also become a serious tripping hazard for your family. This often happens over time due to humidity, foot traffic, or an installation that wasn't completed with enough precision. Our job is to carefully and correctly re-stretch your carpet, restoring it to a perfectly flat, drum-tight surface. We focus on the small details to bring back the comfort and safety you expect from your indoor flooring.

The Details Behind a Smooth, Flat Carpet

It's frustrating when you look down and see ripples or bumps in what should be a flat surface. These issues don't just look bad; they're genuine tripping hazards. Often, this happens because of improper initial installation where a power stretcher wasn't used correctly. It can also be caused by heavy furniture being dragged across the surface, temperature fluctuations, or even high humidity. Over time, the carpet backing relaxes and loses its tension, leading to those unsightly and unsafe waves.

Our approach is all about precision. We don't just kick the problem into a corner. We use a professional power stretcher, the industry-standard tool for this job. This device allows us to apply hundreds of pounds of tension evenly across the entire room, pulling the carpet taut from wall to wall. Once it's properly stretched, we carefully trim the excess material along the baseboard and meticulously tuck the edge back into the tack strip for a clean, secure finish. This isn't just a quick fix; it's the correct way to restore your carpet's foundation.

Repairing Damage with Care and Precision

Life happens inside your home, and sometimes carpets bear the brunt of it. Whether it's a snag from a pet, a burn mark, or a split seam, we look at repairs as a craft. For holes or permanent stains, we can perform a patch repair, often called a bonded insert. We take a matching piece of carpet—ideally from a remnant you saved, or from an inconspicuous area like the back of a closet—and carefully cut out the damaged section. We then align the grain and pile direction of the new piece perfectly before bonding it in place. The goal is a repair you have to search for to see.

Seam repair is another common need. When a seam splits, it can quickly unravel and worsen. We carefully clean the old adhesive, apply a high-quality seam sealer to prevent fraying, and then use a specialized hot-melt iron and seam tape to create a strong, flat bond that restores the integrity of your floor. Your safety and satisfaction are in every detail. You can reach us at (647) 898-7839 to discuss your project.
