I have several areas where our carpet has buckled up and needs to be restretched. Has anybody used someone that is good and they can recommend? And no we didn’t slide furniture across it. It did it on its own. ---

If I’m not mistaken Lowes/HomeDepot both sell them. It works like a huge clamp, in reverse. It’ll stretch it across the whole room…but you may need to lift up the edges if that carpet-tack stuff was used. Just stretch and re-tack it down ---

This is one time I don’t think I want to tackle the job myself. Our great room is pretty big and the carpet is tucked under alot of trim & a fireplace, and mates up with ceramic tile on one side and vinyl on another. ---

Jeff will have to tell you, he is the one that lives in the “baller” housing plan w/ 6 million dollar homes 😉 Its a good friend of mines girlfriends parents house, they own General Industries… if u know how big that company is, then u should have a good idea of what the owners house might look like. I was inside it when it was just a lil 1 million dollar house and it was unreal, then they decided to put on an addition… a 6 million dollar addition 🤣
