Carpet ripples and waves typically appear 3-7 years after install — the carpet was either not stretched tightly enough at installation or has been pulled by furniture moving. A $295 stretch makes the carpet look new and prevents tripping hazards. Sometimes that’s enough to skip the $5,000 replacement.

FAQ
Will stretching make my old carpet look new?
Stretching removes ripples and waves. It doesn’t restore color, remove stains, or replace worn fibers. Best paired with professional carpet cleaning. If your carpet is genuinely worn out, replacement is the better call.
How do I know if I need stretching vs. replacement?
We assess at the walkthrough. Ripples + decent overall condition = stretch. Major wear, mat-down in traffic areas, severe stains = replace. We tell you honestly.
Can you patch a pet stain or burn?
Often yes — if you have a closet or other low-visibility area we can pull a patch from. We splice in the patch and the repair is usually invisible.
How long does stretching take?
45-90 minutes per room. Furniture needs to be moved off the carpet — we move standard furniture as part of the visit; clear personal items beforehand.
Selling Your Home?
Carpet stretching + professional cleaning is often the cheapest pre-listing carpet refresh. See GoMarketReady for coordinated pre-listing prep.
