Carpet Repairs Replacement Alternative Carpet repair is an avenue you should first consider before throwing in the towel on your damaged carpet. In most situations, your carpet can be fixed by a professional, certified and trained technician. Streamline Home Services has saved many home owners thousands of dollars by restoring their carpet. It does not matter how small or large the problem might be; if there is a visible defect, it can be corrected. Re-Stretching Re-stretching is used for loose and wrinkled carpets. Like a face lift, re-stretching makes carpets tights again. It prolongs the carpet's life by eliminating wrinkles, which can cause the carpet to wear more quickly from the constant back and forth bending that occurs when they are stepped on. It also reduces the danger of tripping on the loose material. The most common reasons for loose and buckled carpet are poor original installation, improper tackless strips installed, prolonged damp carpet and high traffic in certain areas. We can provide a solution by pulling up the carpet in designated areas and stretching it with special tools that create a flat and tight result so that the wrinkles never appear again. We provide a guarantee with all of our repair work for the life of your carpet. Patching "Cut and Plug" "Cut and plug" is used for small areas of carpet that are burned, stained or similarly damaged. The damaged piece of carpet is cut out and a good piece of matching carpet is mended into its place. If leftover matching carpet is not available, a small piece is usually taken from a closet or similar hidden location. Before During After Re-Seaming Seam repair is needed when an existing seam has come undone. Often, the carpet is pulled up, exposing the back side. The existing seam tape that bonds the carpet together is removed, and the carpet is re-trimmed. Then, with a perfect straight edge, the carpet can be seamed again by a very qualified and experienced repair technician and re-stretched to make your carpet beautiful once again. Re-Weaving and Fraying This damage often occurs with looped pile Berber carpet. Moving furniture or sometimes pets pull up strands of your carpet. Instead of replacing your carpet, we can come to your home and re-weave the damaged area with an existing strand. We will take a piece from your extra carpet or from the side of the wall where it can be slightly stretched to compensate for what we remove. We can make this repair invisible as a result Before After |
