Why have your carpet re-stretched? We already mentioned that re-stretching adds life to your carpet. However, there are plenty more reasons to have your carpet stretched. A loose carpet comes with a lot of hazards and cosmetic issues. For example, there’s the tripping hazard. When your carpet has loose spots, it also has an uneven tread. You, a family member, or one of your guests could trip over your carpet at any moment. Carpet re-stretching can prevent injury at your home or property.

Now, let’s look at cosmetic issues. A loose carpet in and of itself is a cosmetic problem. It makes your home look outdated and like it doesn’t get enough care. However, loose carpet can also lead to other cosmetic issues. For example, it creates uneven wear and aging. The carpet’s uneven tread means that some places get extra damage from foot traffic. This creates uneven wear and tear. Some spots may look new while others look especially worn down. Loose carpets create uneven fading, too. When looseness gets particularly bad, some parts of the carpet will see more sunlight than others. As a result, some places will have more fading than others.
