Carpet Stretching & Repair in Hillsburgh

Hey there, neighbour! Are you tired of looking at those waves and wrinkles in your living room carpet? It happens to the best of us. Over time, carpet can loosen up, creating bumps that are not only an eyesore but a tripping hazard, too. Before you think about the huge expense of a total replacement, give me a shout. I'm right here in the Hillsburgh area, and I can often fix those issues by re-stretching or repairing your existing carpet, making it look great again.

Why Does Carpet Get Wrinkled?

It’s a common question I get. Usually, it's down to a few things. Sometimes it's the humidity we get around here, which can make the carpet's backing expand and contract. Other times, it might be from dragging heavy furniture across the room, which can pull the carpet off its moorings. A lot of the time, though, it's simply because it wasn't installed with the right tool—a power stretcher—in the first place. Whatever the cause, don't worry, it’s almost always fixable.

How We Fix It: Our Stretching & Repair Process

When I come over, my main goal is to get that carpet as tight as it was on day one. I use a professional power stretcher, which is the proper tool for the job. It gives me the leverage to pull the carpet nice and taut across the room. Once it's tight, I re-secure it to the tack strips along the wall, trim off any excess, and tuck it in for a clean finish. The result is a perfectly flat, safe floor. You'll be amazed at the difference it makes.

I handle all sorts of indoor carpet repairs, from fixing split seams to patching small areas that have been burned or permanently stained. It's all about extending the life of your flooring and saving you the headache and cost of a complete replacement. Just give me a call, and we can figure out the best solution for your home.
