| A lot of times carpet will appear to have ripples along the width or the
length. This is due to several reasons. One of the biggest reasons for this
condition is an improper installation in the first place. I would always suggest
an installer use a power stretcher ( a long device with telescoping poles, a
padded tail block, and a large gripping head ) to initially install and stretch
tight the carpet. Another reason carpet may need stretching is that it has
relaxed over a period of time and has " grown ". We always give our customers
FREE estimates for stretch work because it is almost impossible to give an exact
price over the phone. We have to see the carpet to determine if it is even worth
investing the money into stretching it. |
