In Fort Lauderdale, we stretch carpet in beachfront condos, Victoria Park bungalows and rental units across the city. Ripples usually come from one of three things: carpet that was only knee-kicked at install, heavy furniture being moved, or years of humidity relaxing the backing. Power-stretching fixes all three, and the extra carpet is trimmed away at the wall.
Condo towers and long hallways
Tower units often have long carpeted halls leading to the bedrooms, and those halls ripple first. We stretch from end to end with a power stretcher and re-hook the carpet on the tack strip. If the building needs the elevator booked or has other contractor rules, let us know when you schedule.
Signs it's time
- Waves or ripples you can see or feel
- Carpet that bunches when furniture moves
- Edges pulling off the wall
- Ripples that come back after being kicked flat
How we do it
- Furniture moved in sections
- Carpet released from the tack strip
- Power-stretched and re-hooked
- Excess trimmed and tucked at the wall
Rentals between guests
Short-term rental carpet sees more traffic in a month than many homes see in a year. A quick re-stretch between bookings takes out the wrinkles that make a unit look tired and removes a trip hazard for guests.
