Common Carpet Repair Issues We Fix
Burns & Spots
Cigarette burns, candle melts, curling iron marks, and bleach spots can all be invisibly patched using matching carpet from closets or hidden areas.
Typical Cost: $150-$300
vs. $5,000+ replacement
Seam Splits
High-traffic hallways and doorways often develop split seams from years of foot traffic. Professional re-seaming restores strength and appearance.
Typical Cost: $200-$400
vs. $8,000+ hallway replacement
Ripples & Buckling
Loose carpet creates trip hazards and accelerates wear. Power stretching removes ripples and buckles, helping address loose carpet and trip hazards.
Typical Cost: $300-$600
Prevents premature replacement
Pet Damage
Dog scratching, cat clawing, and pet accidents damage carpet fibers and backing. Targeted patching repairs damage without full replacement.
Typical Cost: $200-$500
Depending on extent
Water Damage
After water damage and professional drying, carpet often needs re-stretching and reattachment. Reinstallation saves thousands over new flooring.
Typical Cost: $400-$800
Combined with water restoration
Strata Hallways
Strata hallway carpets develop wear patterns, split seams, and buckling from constant traffic. We assess whether strategic repair is appropriate.
Pricing depends on the damaged area and repair method.

Our IICRC-Certified Repair Process
1. Assessment & Matching
We inspect the damage, assess repairability, and identify matching carpet from closets, spare pieces, or hidden areas. Photos and measurements document the issue.
2. Patching & Replacement
For burns, spots, and localized damage, we cut out the damaged section and seamlessly install a matching patch using hot-melt seaming tape and proper techniques. The repair is virtually invisible when complete.
3. Seam Repair
Split seams are cleaned, re-aligned, and re-sealed using professional seaming irons and seam tape. Proper technique ensures long-lasting strength and appearance.
4. Power Stretching
Using a power stretcher (not a knee kicker), we remove ripples, buckles, and loose areas. The carpet is pulled tight, trimmed, and re-secured to tack strips for a flat, safe surface.
5. Reinstallation
After water damage restoration or removal for subfloor repairs, carpet is professionally reinstalled with proper stretching and securing. Transitions and doorways are finished to code.
6. Final Cleaning & Inspection
All repaired areas are cleaned to blend seamlessly with surrounding carpet. Final inspection ensures quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.
