Carpet Stretching & Repair in King City

Carpet is supposed to be flat. When you see ripples, waves, or lumps, it’s a problem. It's a tripping hazard and a sign your carpet wasn't installed correctly or has come loose. Foot traffic, humidity, and moving furniture can all cause it. We fix this by re-stretching it with the right tools, pulling it tight so it lies flat again. It's a straightforward fix that makes a big difference.

Why Your Carpet Has Wrinkles

Most carpet issues come down to a handful of causes. Often, it's a poor initial installation where the carpet wasn't stretched enough. Over time, it relaxes and forms waves. Changes in humidity can also cause the backing to expand and contract, leading to looseness. Dragging heavy furniture across the floor instead of lifting it can pull the carpet and create buckles. Whatever the cause, the solution is the same: it needs to be professionally re-stretched.

Our Process: No Shortcuts

We do the job correctly so it lasts. We use a power stretcher, not just a small knee-kicker. A power stretcher is a professional tool that braces against the opposite wall, allowing us to get the carpet drum-tight. This is the only way to ensure the wrinkles don't come back in a year. Once it's tight, we re-engage it onto the tack strips, trim the excess carpet, and tuck it neatly at the baseboard for a clean finish. The result is a flat, safe floor that looks right.

Beyond Stretching: Carpet Repairs

We also handle common repairs. If you have a permanent stain, a burn mark, or damage from a pet, we can often patch it. Using a remnant piece of your original carpet (often found in a closet), we can cut out the damaged section and seamlessly fit a new piece in. We also repair split seams that have started to come apart, gluing them back together to prevent further fraying and separation. It's a much more affordable option than replacing the entire carpet.
