The most important tool to rent is a power carpet stretcher photo 8. It does the lion s share of the carpet stretching. The stretcher comes with four attachable bars with bracing foot allowing for adjustments from 17 3 4 in. Carpet stretching is a common type of carpet repair that essentially involves pulling the carpet up from around one or more edges of the room re stretching it to proper tightness cutting the carpet to the proper length tacking back down into place and finally tucking it in along the edge.

Usually this will involve us pulling the carpet up around the edges carrying out the carpet stretching by using a knee kicker carpet stretcher then re fitting the carpet and trimming off the surplus carpet. From adjoining walls you ll also need to rent a knee kicker if a carpet cutter is available rent it too photo. If the lever requires too much pressure to push down you re stretching the carpet too tight. We paid over 200 more for the reinstall of the carpeting because in calling are sea we were repeatedly told that it wasn t possible for carpet to stretch.

In extreme cases it may be better for us to use a carpet power stretcher in order to get a good result. Lengthen the adjustment rod of the power stretcher until its head is about 6 inches 15 2 cm from the carpet s un anchored edge.
