When a bare light bulb sits on a carpet for an hour this is what happens! Carpet is made with burn resistance so the bulb melted the carpet and the underlay.
When replacing the carpet with a new piece the pattern has to be exactly lined up or when the new carpet starts to wear it will be obvious, this is how a carpet repair should be completed.

If this or anything like this happens to your carpet call Chris at 604-581-3480. Making You Happy With Your Carpet!

This Carpet Was Stretched Two Years Ago!?

In the photos with this post are pictures of carpet in a room that had been stretched two years ago by someone using a knee kicker. The person that stretched the carpet insisted the furniture didn’t need to be moved, or anything removed from the room. The first hint they were just there for a quick “bump and tuck” of the carpet to make the carpet flat.
In the pictures you can see how loose the carpet was and just how much it needed to be stretched-almost two inches... and we gave the homeowner a seven year guarantee it would stay like that or I would return and re-stretch it for FREE!

DIY, do it yourself repairs sometimes lack quality but not imagination! What you see in the picture is sticky paper designed to be a rodent trap used to hold a bad carpet seam together. IT DIDN’T WORK, but I am really impressed by the effort.

It took more effort to remove the sticky paper than it did to do a proper repair that will hold for years.

A dog on the carpet will always upset the owner...

Dogs tend to make bigger holes in the carpet than cats digging their way out of a room. Both carpet and underlay suffer the owner’s woe.

In short order (an hour or so) it can be repaired with a spare piece of carpet and apart from the colour difference from carpet that has never been walked on no one could ever tell it happened.

More carpet stretching . . .

Stretching carpets is the biggest part of the carpet repairs that we do. Often it is done so poorly by installers that believe making a good seam is the only necessity to being a good carpet installer.

Today’s picture is a poor installation of underlay, there is no way the carpet will lay flat if the underlay doesn’t.

If you need carpet stretching give us a call at 604-581-3480. We will get your carpet flat again and Guarantee it will stay that way for 7 years!

Stretching carpet is one of our services!

So often when carpets are stretched unusual things are found. Sometimes the tack strip (which is at the side of the room) and meant to hold the carpet stretch is found to be installed backwards so it will never hold the stretch.

Sometimes the tack strip is stapled in and pops right out of the floor just as it does when concrete nails are used in a wood floor installation.

Often we find the broken off dull bits of carpet knife blades, but never before have we found anything like this sitting on the underlay under the carpet.

So many people that need repairs are concerned “Will I see the seams?” or will I see the repair afterwards?

The answer is always the same: you will only see the difference in colour and texture of the piece you give me to install when compared to the existing carpet it is placed into.

Dogs can be a carpet repair guy’s best friend!

In the pictures you can see what happens when a dog wants in or out of a room. The repairs take time and are relatively straightforward as this kind of repair presents itself many times every month. Cat lovers are definitely not immune to this kind of repair!

Where do I get a piece of carpet for a repair?

So often I get asked on the phone, where do I get a piece of carpet for a repair? Usually this is from a tenant moving out of a rental suite and doing the right thing, repairing some small damage in the carpet. Most homeowners have spare carpet from when the carpet was installed, most rental suites do not have that advantage. Or if there is a spare piece of carpet in a suite it is used as a door mat and in such bad condition it cannot be used for a repair piece.

The closet is a great source of carpet for a repair! I can remove a piece of exactly the same dye lot of carpet, yes it has never been walked on and has no sun fade. But it is the closest match you will ever find, and if you get a piece of carpet that is close in appearance that can go in the closet. And you would be amazed to find that the difference just blends in the smaller the repair is.

Some rooms of carpet don’t have closets, now what? Sometimes we can take a small piece of carpet from under a baseboard heater. Recently we did a repair in a home that had been a movie set where the carpet in the room was stretched to find a piece of carpet that could be used as a repair piece. There is usually a solution that just hasn’t been thought of, give me a call and we’ll do our very best to find a solution to you carpet repair problem.

Usually carpets that are older than 15 years are a lot harder to stretch. The backings of the carpet were made differently making them more rigid and the backings of carpet gets harder and less flexible with age.

Fortunately the power carpet stretcher is able to take out ripples/wrinkles in even the stiffest carpet, this was the case today as the carpet was just over 20 years old and it resisted stretching. It resisted stretching so much it was like stretching concrete, or like stretching a sheet of plywood. There is no way a carpet knee kicker would have even touched stretching this carpet even for the man of steel. A proper stretch on carpet should last it’s lifetime.

Interesting fact is that likely the knee kicker was the reason that the carpet had the ripple in the first place. You see the knee kicker that most people are familiar with was designed only to be an assist tool to the power stretcher when installing carpets. Use of the knee kicker even in the hands (knees) of the most experienced installer will not get the carpet installed as tight as the use of the power stretcher. This is why carpet manufacturers have specified the power stretcher as the only tool to be used when stretching or installing carpet.
