Carpet Stretching & Repair in Toronto

Over time, even a well-installed carpet can develop bumps, ripples, and wrinkles. This can happen from dragging heavy furniture, improper initial installation, or even changes in humidity. These issues aren't just an eyesore; they create dangerous tripping hazards and cause your carpet to wear out unevenly. Ignoring them only makes the problem worse. We focus on meticulously correcting these flaws, ensuring your indoor carpet is returned to a safe, flat, and secure state.

The Right Way to Fix Loose Carpet

You might notice a small wrinkle in your hallway and think it’s no big deal, but that wrinkle is a sign of a bigger issue. Your carpet has lost its tension. The only correct way to fix this is with a professional power stretcher, not just a small knee kicker. A power stretcher is a tool that allows us to grip the carpet at one end of the room and apply hundreds of pounds of tension from the other, pulling it drum-tight. We then carefully re-secure the carpet to the tack strips and trim the excess for a perfect fit along the baseboard. This process requires precision to avoid over-stretching or damaging the material.

More Than Just Stretching

Our repair work goes beyond just fixing ripples. We handle a variety of common indoor carpet problems with the same attention to detail. If you have a split seam in a doorway, we can re-seal it to create a strong, nearly invisible bond. For isolated damage like a burn mark, a permanent stain, or a pet-damaged spot, we can often perform a patch repair. This involves carefully cutting out the damaged section and fitting in a matching piece, usually taken from a remnant you might have, or from an unseen area like the back of a closet. The goal is always to make the repair blend in seamlessly with the surrounding carpet.

Every job starts with a careful assessment. We look at the type of carpet, the condition of the underpad, and the specific problem you're facing. This allows us to determine the exact steps needed to restore your floor properly. We take our time to do it right because a hurried job won't last.
