Carpet Stretching
Carpet Stretching is one of the most popular services we offer. Why is this? This is because carpet stretching is a cost effective way to return your carpet to it’s former glory.
Many carpets today are installed improperly with inadequate tools to do the job correctly. Many carpet installers do this to save time and money for themselves and not for you.
We don’t think its right that they put profits before people. They are counting on you not knowing what a properly installed carpet looks like.
When you call Seattle Carpet Repair and Cleaning you will get a company that puts people before profit. Our customers and their satisfaction come first.
WHAT IS CARPET STRETCHING?
This is a frequent question that we get from our customers. There is an easy way to tell if your carpet needs to be re-stretched. You can perform this simple test yourself! Just follow these three easy steps!
Pinch the carpet with your thumb and index finger
Pull towards the ceiling. Let go!
If your carpet parachutes down to the ground, your carpet needs to be re-stretched. If it snaps back in place like a military bed your carpet is considered “drum tight” and doesn’t need to be re-stretched.
We here at Seattle Carpet Repair and Cleaning take pride in giving our customers the information they need to make an educated decision about their carpet care needs. You can expect nothing but honesty and integrity from us 100% guaranteed.

TWO REASONS TO STRETCH CARPET
Tack Strip Failure: This is a very common problem that can occur with your carpet. When your carpet is no longer connected to the tack strip this leads to carpet ripples, rolls and bumps in your carpet. We re-set the tack the strip and re-stretch your carpet, making it look as good as new.
Poor Installation: This is the leading reason why your carpet has these unsightly ripples. Unscrupulous carpet installers simply don’t care if they do the job right. As long as they can make a quick buck without questions ask there will continue to be bad install jobs.
These installers rely on knee kickers alone to install carpet. While your carpet may look good for a year it won’t last. As soon as you start walking, playing and moving furniture, carpet ripples start to emerge.
Seattle Carpet Cleaning and Repair only uses the proper tools to get the job done. This mean using our power stretcher to stretch your carpet and make it look as good new!
