Examples Of Pet Damaged Carpet

How To Repair Pet Damaged Carpet At A Doorway

This is one of the most common repairs we do.
Most of our customers have cats that are accidentally left in a bedroom,
And when that cat wants out it will scratch at the carpet near the doorway.

On the other hand some have dogs that can be startled easily by loud noises
And will dig at the carpet near a doorway making for a much larger repair.
Whatever the case, these areas can be fixed in one visit.

The easiest way to get an exact cost for a carpet repair like this is to
Email a picture of the damaged area to goldcoast7000@gmail.com
Or text a picture of the area to (916) 312-7000.

The next question on getting an exact price is to know
if you have left over carpet pieces from the original installation.
If not there is still hope.
Depending on the size of your repair, we can take a small piece from a closet
To do the repairs for a perfect match,
and then install a different piece in the closet.
The piece installed in the closet may be a close match,
but most often will be different.
If you'd like an exact match,
we can recommend a carpet store where you can try to find a closer match
before we schedule you for the repair,
but we do not go out and find the carpet for you.

If you have a larger area that is damaged and would like to replace the entire closet,
We can also do that at the time of the repair.

So now you can understand how the price may change
depending on the things mentioned above.
For example a doorway carpet repair like the one above
can cost between $150-300.

The price depends on the following:

- What type of carpet are we working with?
- How large is the area that's damaged?
- Is there extra carpet to do the repair with?
- Will some or all of a closet area need to be replaced?
- Is there padding underneath that's also damaged?


There are also options to DIY using a few carpet tools if you have a very small area,
Which is completely understandable to avoid paying a lot for a small repair.
For example a small cat scratch in the corner of a room can easily be repaired
At a fraction of the cost using just a steam iron, white towel, and some seaming tape.

But if you want a professional carpet repair done
by someone who has been doing every week for the last decade,
we suggest hiring a professional for peace of mind.

Also please keep in mind that the older the carpet is the more it can be worn out,
which will result in a more noticeable repair
because the donor piece of carpet will be new.

If you have any questions feel free to email,
call or text for more help and information.
We are happy to help you even if you end up doing it yourself or are not in our service area.

Below are a few videos showing how to do these repairs yourself if you'd like the challenge,
And also what it looks like to have them professionally done by a carpet repair expert.




Examples Of Carpet Re Stretching

Carpet Re Stretching Near Me And How Much Does It Cost?

Carpet re stretching can either be an easy project or a horrible nightmare
Depending on the layout of the home and if there is furniture involved.
It can also make the difference between having a $200 re stretch job
And having that turn into a $400 re stretch job.

The fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to have carpet stretched
Is to have the rooms completely empty of furniture before we arrive.
Now we understand this isn't always possible,
Especially with senior citizens which make up most of our re stretch jobs.

Because of this, there are ways to stretch carpet with furniture still in the room.
Furniture can be put on sliders and moved throughout the room
While we are stretching so it never has to be broken down or moved out of the room.
This does cost extra because it takes more time and effort to re stretch the area.

Now for the million dollar question

Why Is My Carpet Loose In The First Place?


We get asked this on almost every job so don't worry it's not just you.
Most of the time big box stores have a labor warranty for 2 years on their install.
That is 2 season changes,
which is enough time for the carpet to expand and contract.
If the carpet was not power stretched and installed properly
it will not be tight and will start to expand, pushing towards the walls.
When it no longer has anywhere to go it will start to bubble
and waves or ripples will start to show in areas of your home.

This is mostly noticed after getting the carpets steam cleaned for the first time
since the excess moisture will expand the carpet causing this process to speed up.

Not only is this extremely disappointing because now it has to get re stretched,
but your warranty has expired and you will have to pay the same company to fix it!
If they installed it poorly the first time, do you honestly think that company will
use the correct tools and methods to re stretch it the second time around?

The way we re stretch carpet is once the room is empty,
we pull the carpet off the tack strip around the room that holds the carpet.
Then we set up a power stretcher that extends across the room with poles.
This tool uses leverage to grip into the carpet and when you push the lever down
it pulls the carpet across the room, kind of like putting a bed sheet on your mattress.

After stretching the carpet we connect it back onto the tack strip,
trim the excess carpet we stretched, and tuck the carpet back in to finish.
We can get anywhere from half an inch to 3 inches depending on the carpet.
Then we vacuum the area and move furniture back if needed.

This process is the way it should have been done in the first place,
and will greatly improve the life of your carpet.

The best way to get an exact price for carpet stretching is to schedule an in home estimate
where we walk through the home and decide the best way to re stretch the carpet,
and also decide what furniture needs to be moved to give you a fair price.
Depending on the room layout, large book shelves, bed frames, and other large
pieces of furniture man not be needed to move at all.

Another way to get a ballpark price is to
email a picture of the damaged areas to goldcoast7000@gmail.com
or text a picture of the areas to (916) 312-7000.

Again now you can understand how the price may change
depending on the things mentioned above.
For example an average living room 300 square feet can cost between $150-300.

The price again depends on the following:

- What type of carpet are we working with?
- Is there furniture involved?
- Does the room connect to any other areas?
- Will any seams need to be made when re stretching?
- Does the carpet connect to any other type of flooring?


There are also options to DIY by renting a power stretcher and tools,
but we highly recommend hiring a professional to re stretch your carpet.
We also highly recommend hiring someone who uses a power stretcher.

Below are some videos showing the tools we use when re stretching carpet,
and what to expect when hiring us to come re stretch the carpet in your home.





Examples Of Frayed Carpet

How To Fix Frayed Carpet Edges Where Carpet Meets Other Flooring

Another common repair we do is fixing frayed carpet edges.
This is another repair that could have been avoided if the original
carpet installer did one extra step during the installation.
That's right! 1 step!
That step is to apply a latex sealer where the carpet meets the tile or flooring.
When carpet is installed to tile or flooring of the same height,
tack strip is used and is left with a small gap between the tack strip and flooring.
This gap is what the carpet is trimmed and tucked into when stretching the carpet.

That latex hardens and acts like a glue not only sealing the raw edge of the carpet,
but keeping it stuck down in the gap.
Without this step, over time the raw carpet edge will start to come undone,
exposing the tack strip which can be very painful if walked on.
Every time you vacuum or walk over the area it will keep unraveling and fraying.

This repair is simple (sometimes) depending on how far back the carpet has frayed.
Most of the time the carpet can be power stretched and we can trim and tuck the carpet in.
Sometimes the carpet will need to be patched, which can be very noticeable
depending on how worn out the area is (which most of the time is very worn).

This damage can also happen by a pet scratching or clawing at the edge,
which most of the time will need to be patched to do this repair.

An average cost for this type of repair can be between $100-250 per area,
depending on how bad the carpet is frayed and if it can be stretched
or needs to be cut and repaired with a patch.

Again the best way to get a price is to Email a picture of the damaged area
to goldcoast7000@gmail.com
or text a picture of the area to (916) 312-7000.

Examples Of Carpet To Tile & Flooring Transitions

Just Had Tile Installed? Need The Carpet Tucked To Your Hardwood Or Flooring?

Another common repair we do is fixing carpet to new tile or other flooring.
For this repair it's pretty straightforward.
We install new tack strip near the tile or flooring,
trim the padding, stretch the carpet over, apply latex, trim and then tuck the carpet in.

This provides a clean invisible finish without having to install transition pieces,
unless of course you prefer having a transition piece installed.

If the new tile or flooring is raised higher than the carpet,
we use carpet shims which are small plywood ramps to build a slope
up to the flooring for the carpet which makes for a really clean job.

An average cost for this type of repair can be between $75-150 per area,
depending on if carpet shims are needed and how long the areas are.

Again the best way to get a price is to Email a picture of the damaged area
to goldcoast7000@gmail.com
or text a picture of the area to (916) 312-7000.

Below is a short video showing how we did a carpet to tile transition repair
for a client that just had new tile flooring installed in their bathroom.
