Pet Damaged Carpet Repairs & Fixing Holes In Carpet


pet-damaged-carpet-repair-cost-and-fix-fort-mitchell-kentucky

These are definitely some of the most common carpet repairs we do.
Sometimes cats are accidentally left in a bedroom,
and when that cat wants out it will scratch at the carpet near the doorway.

On the other hand some have dogs that can be startled easily by loud noises
and will dig at the carpet near a doorway making for a much larger repair.
These repairs range from small areas to larger damaged areas,
But either way it can be fixed!
These areas can usually be fixed in one visit.

The easiest way to get an exact cost for a carpet repair like this is to
email a picture of the damaged area to
- CompassCarpetRepair@gmail.com -
or text a picture of the area to (859) 777-6644.

The next question on getting an exact price is to know
if you have left over carpet pieces from the original installation.
If not there is still hope.
We can usually take a small piece from a closet
to do the repairs for a perfect match, and then install a different piece in the closet.
The piece installed in the closet may be a close match but most often will be different.
If you'd like an exact match, we can recommend a carpet store
where you can try to find a closer match before we schedule you for the repair,
but we do not go out and find the carpet for you.

If you have a larger area that is damaged and would like to replace the entire closet,
We can also do that at the time of the repair.

So now you can understand how the price may change
depending on the things mentioned above.
The price depends on the following:
- How large is the area that's damaged?
- What type of carpet are we working with?
- Is there extra carpet to do the repair with?
- Will some or all of a closet area need to be replaced?
- Is there padding underneath that's also damaged?

Also please keep in mind that the older the carpet is the more it can be worn out,
which will result in a more noticeable repair because the donor piece of carpet will be new.
Most repairs will not be noticable, especially smaller pet damaged areas.
If you have any questions feel free to email, call or text for more help and information.

Carpet Re Stretching & Fixing Loose Carpet


carpet-wrinkles-loose-carpet-repair-near-fort-mitchell-kentucky

Carpet re stretching can be an easy project or a complex job
depending on the layout of the home and if there is furniture involved.
It can also make the difference between having a $200 re stretch job
and having that turn into a $400 re stretch job.
The main challenge is when furniture needs to be moved.

The fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to have carpet stretched
is to have the rooms completely empty of furniture before we arrive.
Now we understand this isn't always possible,
especially with clients who can't move their furniture on their own.

Because of this, there are ways to stretch carpet with furniture still in the room.
Furniture can be put on sliders and moved throughout the room
while we are stretching so it never has to be broken down or moved out of the room.
This does cost extra because it takes more time and effort to re stretch the area.

So why does carpet become loose in the first place?

If the carpet was not power stretched and installed properly
(meaning only a knee kicker was used to fit in the carpet)
it will not be tight and will start to expand, pushing towards the walls.
When it no longer has anywhere to go it will start to bubble
and waves or ripples will start to show in areas of your home.

This is mostly noticed after getting the carpets steam cleaned for the first time
since the excess moisture will expand the carpet causing this process to speed up.
It's also more common upstairs or on a raised foundation
meaning the subfloor underneath is wood and not concrete.

Not only is this extremely disappointing because now it has to get re stretched,
but your warranty has expired and you will have to pay the same company to fix it!
If they installed it poorly the first time, do you honestly think that company will
use the correct tools and methods to re stretch it the second time around?

The way we re stretch carpet is once the room is empty,
we pull the carpet off the tack strip around the room that holds the carpet.
Then we set up a power stretcher that extends across the room with poles.
This tool uses leverage to grip into the carpet and when you push the lever down
it pulls the carpet across the room, kind of like putting a bed sheet on your mattress.
Experience and skill using the power stretcher is very important
to make sure this part is done correctly.

After stretching the carpet we connect it back onto the tack strip,
trim the excess carpet we stretched, and tuck the carpet back in to finish.
We can get anywhere from half an inch to 3 inches depending on the carpet.
Then we vacuum the area and move furniture back if needed.

This process is the way it should have been done in the first place,
and will greatly improve the life of your carpet.

Water Damage Repairs / Basement Carpet Re-Installation


basement-water-damage-carpet-repair-fort-mitchell-kentucky

If you had your basement flooded or another area of your home
that has had water damage where carpet is,
we can help with putting the carpet back for you.
After everything is dry and the carpet is ready to be re-installed
we can provide padding and install the carpet and padding back in place.


carpet-repair-after-water-damage-floor-fort-mitchell-kentucky



No need to replace the carpet on most water damage jobs,
only the padding needs to be replaced
and sometimes the tack strips as well.
Furniture moving is an additional cost but can be discussed at the time of the estimate.
Schedule an appointment and we can get your carpet
back into place to finish up the water damage repair.

Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning Services

Low moisture carpet cleaning or 'dry cleaning' is a service we also offer.
After getting your carpet repaired or re stretched we can then clean the areas
at the same appointment to really bring your carpet back to life.

There are benefits to having your carpets cleaned with low moisture,
or what most people consider 'dry cleaning'.
Low moisture carpet cleaning uses bonnets to transfer the soil and bacteria onto pads
and is still a very effective way to clean carpet.
This process only uses water during the pre treatment step
so the dry times will be much faster than steam cleaning.
This method is great if you want your carpet dry in less than two hours
compared to 4-12 hours or more if you have them steam cleaned.
