ISO - Carpet Stretcher

[MEGARMS]

I have a basement and some bedrooms that need to have the (nearly new) carpeting re stretched. Hoping to find a carpet installer who is looking for a side job and hoping they have access to a mechanical stretcher.

Located in Sykesville/Eldersburg. PM if interested.

If yow are up for the work Lowes/HD sells (maybe rents?) the hand tool. I've done it under the online guidance of @outrider58.

But he may be on MDS hiatus celebrating retirement.

Good luck.

Thanks, but some things just turn out better when left to the pro's. In my experience, carpet is one of those things. That is, with the exception of the pro's who installed this carpet the first time. They obviously sucked.

You need to find an installer who uses a pole stretcher. If you strike out, PM me.

Yes.
Unless you know what you're doing, I wouldn't recommend attempting it yourself. 90% of the carpet mechanics out there don't know how to use them properly. It's your carpet and your call though. Good luck.

Yeah, I agree. I will try most things, but not this. I have had a few guys reach out, none of them use one of these tools. I'll keep searching.

Where in Carroll are you? Never mind, Sykes/Elders.

I know the owner here: He doesn't do the work, but you can ask him for good subs.

How can one get their pole stretched? Asking for a friend.

Hole chit! That power stretcher is quite the chit!
I gotta keep this in mind.

From what I recall carpet is weaved longitudinal. Then splay it out.
But WTF do I know.

Shit.
Where should I start.
Mexico if you are into the basic.
England/Euro if you are into the weird.

That's all I have and suggest retreating to chase after that widow.

I hear that back in the day, some of those Vietnamese girls would stretch you long time.
