Carpet Stretching Portland

SIGNS THAT YOU NEED CARPET STRETCHING

Carpet stretching is the process of smoothing out uneven lumps and buckled fabric spots in your carpeting. As your carpet gets older, its connection with the flooring underneath may loosen and call for a re-stretching job. Some will stress out at the sight of any lumps and assume the whole carpet needs to be replaced. Avoid this costly mistake and let us bring your carpets back to lump-free health with a professional Portland carpet stretching job. Keep a watchful eye out for carpet lumps or buckled areas, as the longer you wait to remedy your issues, the worse they will become and thus more expensive to fix. Outside of clearly visible unevenness, look at your floors’ edges and corners for looseness. This is a telltale sign that your carpets need to be re-stretched. Lastly, if the flooring beneath your carpeting has been damaged for any reason, chances are the surrounding carpeting will loosen. If you take a flashlight close to the pile and can see a big cut in your base, you should get your carpet re-stretched right away!

PREPARATION AND METHODOLOGY

A quality carpet stretching job requires the use of a power stretcher. This tool generally will span the length of a room and is adjustable for different space sizes. In order to assure we can do our job most efficiently, we ask that the area(s) needing work be cleared of all items. Additionally, to avoid extra charges, we ask that you vacuum the affected areas needing service so we can easily and safely use our carpet stretching tools. Of course, if carpet cleaning in Portland is a service you require along with Portland carpet re-stretching, then the vacuuming of your carpets will be handled with no extra charge on top of your quoted price. The procedure for stretching is as follows:

First, any molding along baseboard will need to be slowly pried off so the carpet can be detached from the floor.

We’ll then precariously detach the carpet to prevent any tears in your padding on all walls in the area except one of them, as the carpet needs an anchor to be stretched.

Thirdly, we will now cut new tack strips to match the length of your existing ones and replace your old strips.

It’s time to use the power stretcher and knee kicker tool along the length of your carpets. The knee kicker is an accessory tool that’s useful for tight corners where the power stretcher can’t reach

Once the stretching has been completed, we must remove the excess carpet and re-embed the remainder.

Lastly, we will reset your baseboard molding and attach it back to the wall. The job is done! If we see any leftover, small wrinkles or creases in your flooring, we will steam the affected areas to dispel them right away.
