After a carpet installer lays in a carpet over the carpet padding, it is a required standard to power stretch the carpet onto the tack strips. It is not an option and power stretching is not accomplished with the assist tool called – the knee kicker. If the new carpet isn’t power stretched it is not installed and your carpet manufacturer’s 25 year warranty is now void. This is why we provide Carpet wrinkle repair San Diego by stretching your carpet.

We constantly run into and repair these wrong installs. Your installer knows very well that power stretching is required but you don’t and they rely on that. They know exactly that it’s more labor intensive for them and time consuming to do the job right. Most of the time an installer is subcontracted by the one that you purchased the carpet from because they were the lowest bidder. The lowest bidder must take short cuts.
