What Causes Carpet Wrinkles?

Poor Installation

Improper stretching during installation is the most common cause. Professional stretching fixes this issue.

Humidity Changes

Carpet fibers expand and contract with humidity changes. Over time, this leads to loosening.

Heavy Furniture

Moving heavy furniture shifts the carpet and causes wrinkles.

Normal Wear

Carpet naturally loosens over time. The backing and fibers relax, leading to wrinkles.

Pet Activity

Pets running and playing can shift the carpet and cause it to loosen.

Our Carpet Stretching Process

Step 1: Inspection

We inspect your carpet to assess the wrinkling. We check for issues that might affect the stretching process.

Step 2: Furniture Moving

We move furniture to access the carpet. This protects your furniture and allows us to work effectively.

Step 3: Carpet Preparation

We loosen the carpet from the tack strips along the walls. This prepares the carpet for stretching.

Step 4: Power Stretching

We use professional power stretchers to stretch your carpet properly. Power stretching ensures long-lasting results.

Step 5: Re-attaching Carpet

We reattach the carpet to the tack strips with proper tension. This ensures a tight, smooth finish.

Step 6: Trimming and Finishing

We trim excess carpet and ensure clean edges. Your carpet will look new again.

Step 7: Furniture Replacement

We carefully replace your furniture and give the carpet a final inspection.
