Don’t be fooled, some companies use only a knee kicker to stretch carpet. The kicker is meant to set the carpet, not stretch the carpet. At Acme Rug, we use a power stretcher on every re-stretch job to insure that the carpet is fully tightened.

When a carpet is re-stretched, in most cases the whole room needs to be done. Working on one area of a room, which has only a few wrinkles, will only create lumps or wrinkles in other areas of that room. 		Carpet Stretching
It is best to try and have most of the furniture out of the area being stretched. We can always remove the furniture for you at an additional cost. The only thing that we ask is that all breakable items and electronics are removed first from any furniture item being moved.
   
Special techniques are used to ensure a good final result. We will detach the carpet from the tack strip and re-stretch it from wall to wall. We usually have to cut off several inches of the carpeting since it has physically stretched out. We may also have to redo seams at doorways and closets. It can be quite a task, almost as labor intensive as the original carpet install, but it is well worth it.
   
Carpet Stretching A properly stretched carpet will last longer, look better and be safer to walk on without the wrinkles and bumps.
