When it’s time to stretch, we are one of the only companies that use power stretching. A power stretcher doesn’t use electricity. It uses leverage to stretch the carpet and alleviate the chance of wrinkles. Carpet will expand and stretch with traffic and usage. This causes wrinkles. When stretched properly carpet wrinkles are less likely to develop down the road. Another reason we can provide a Lifetime Installation Warranty. When we provide the power stretching service then our experts trim away any excess flooring and tuck it under the drywall. This provides a seamless finish that leaves your room looking good as new.
