The repair you won't be able to find afterwards.
Owner-operated carpet repair and power stretching. Lifetime guarantee on stretching. Prices on the website — all of them.
A wave is not wear
Slack across the room is a stretch job, not a new carpet.
Humidity off Puget Sound, settling foundations, and twenty years of footsteps pull carpet loose in the middle. We pull it taut and re-tack it — often the room that was quoted for replacement stays.
The iron and the donor
A $500 iron, because the bond is the repair.
Patching is not a glue stick. Donor carpet from a closet or scrap, pile direction matched, seam ironed so the join does not telegraph under foot. Burns and tears disappear instead of announcing themselves as a lighter square.

Questions before the booking
Stretch, patch, odor, pad — which one is it?
A power stretcher grips the carpet across the room and pulls it taut, then it is re-secured to the tack strips at the walls. That takes the slack out of the middle of the floor, which is where wrinkles and ripples show.
Three things, usually together. Humidity off Puget Sound moves the backing. Foundations settle. And heavy traffic drags the carpet slightly with every step. Poor installation and aging padding make all three worse.
Yes, but not by cleaning the surface. Urine soaks through into the pad and often into the subfloor, so we lift the carpet and treat what is underneath with an enzyme that breaks down uric acid crystals and bacteria rather than covering the smell.
We cut out the damaged section and seam in a donor piece taken from a closet, from under furniture, or from leftover install scrap. The donor is cut so the pile runs the same direction as the surrounding carpet.
Stretching fixes carpet that has gone loose across the whole room. Patching replaces a section that is physically damaged in one spot. Some jobs need both.
When the pad is compressed flat, water damaged, or holding odor that cleaning cannot reach. Pad is the cheap layer, and leaving a failed one under good carpet undoes the work above it.
