With 20 years of combined industry experience, we understand how important carpet stretching is.
Ideally, when your carpeting is installed, it first and foremost needs to be flat. But from time to time, carpet wrinkles can form in rooms, on staircases, and through hallways. That’s a problem, because carpet wrinkles aren’t just unsightly, they can become a dangerous tripping hazard. But why do wrinkles appear in carpeting in the first place, and how can it be fixed?
It’s fairly common for installers and repair companies to use a tool called a knee kicker in order to stretch carpeting flat. Knee kickers can stretch out carpeting pretty quickly, but they don’t always provide a quality result. Foot traffic, temperature changes, and humidity can all affect carpeting that’s been stretched by a knee kicker. It can contract and expand, causing wrinkles to form where they shouldn’t.
At Black Tie Carpet Care, our team believes in using the right tools in the right way to achieve the right result. That’s why instead of knee kickers, we use power stretchers whenever we possibly can. These are designed to use enough force to completely remove wrinkles and stretch out carpeting so that it remains flat. Not only does your carpeting look better, but it removes any tripping hazards.
With over 20 years of combined experience and a commitment to providing hands-on service to every customer, you can rest assured we’ll arrive promptly and do the work right the first time.
