Is this your floor?
- A ripple across the hallway that keeps catching your toe.
- Humps that appeared in front of the couch or down a doorway line.
- Carpet pulling away at the edge, tack strips starting to show.
- A room that "walks" — the carpet shifts and creases under furniture.
Left alone, wrinkles wear into permanent lines and loose edges become trip spots — one Lacey landlord called Ace when carpet pulled loose "exposing the carpet tack strips" where kids run. It got fixed the very next day.
What the visit looks like
Gerry re-stretches the carpet tight, re-secures it on the tack strip, and trims the excess. No product pitch, no "while we're here" upsell — the job is making the floor you own lie flat again.
Time on site: reviewers clock small jobs at around half an hour and multi-room jobs at a single visit. Cost: quoted per job, free, and flat — one Olympia customer wrote that he honored the quote and "could charge more for his work."
We had a few humps in various rooms of our new house where the carpet had not been properly stretched… he came in, pleasantly took care of those in a flash… The carpet looks perfect now! Highly recommend.

Homeowners tired of tripping on the same spot. Sellers whose agent flagged the wavy carpet before photos. Landlords between tenants — re-stretching is the cheapest way to make a worn room look cared for. If that's you, call (360) 584-8553 and describe the room.
Good questions
How long does carpet re-stretching take?
Usually a single visit. Reviewers describe a few humps taken care of within a half hour and three rooms plus a hallway finished on one flat quote.
Can every wrinkle be stretched out?
Most can. If the backing is delaminated or water-damaged, stretching alone won't hold — Gerry will tell you straight and lay out what would actually fix it.
How much does re-stretching cost?
It's quoted per job — size of the rooms and what the edges need. The estimate is free, and reviews mention flat-rate quotes honored as given.
Do I need to empty the room first?
Ask when you call. Small furniture usually helps to have out of the way; Gerry will say what actually needs moving for your layout.
That wrinkle isn't going away on its own.
