Carpet Stretching FAQs

It can be difficult to stretch carpet without moving furniture. In most scenarios, moving the furniture off the carpet is more efficient, but you don't need to take every piece of furniture out of the room since it largely depends on where the carpet needs to be stretched. Most contractors include the cost of moving furniture in their quotes. Unusually heavy or bulky furniture, like a piano, may not be included.

You should stretch your carpet and then clean it, which ensures you clean the entire carpet well. Done correctly, stretching won't allow wrinkles to return through professional cleaning. Stretching a carpet costs approximately $100 to $300, while carpet cleaning costs about $180. Hire a carpet cleaner near you to take care of the job properly.

Carpet often buckles in high-humidity rooms. The carpet may swell if the room has excess moisture, leading to buckling over time. Running a dehumidifier can prevent this issue, but you'll need to hire a contractor to stretch the carpet if it's already buckled. Improper installation, water damage, and dragging heavy items can also cause buckling.

Professional carpet cleaning offers a deeper clean and benefits beyond routine vacuuming and upkeep. Cleaning can lift dirt and stains from your carpet, restoring it to its original appearance. Steam cleaning and hot water extraction remove deeply embedded stains that regular vacuuming can’t address. This deeper clean promotes improved indoor air quality, prolonged carpet lifespan, and odor control.
