CARPET TO TILE REPAIR

[@keithpicotte1684]

Thank you for the video. I can save so much instead of paying others. You are a God send!

[@edgarramos1344]

Wow those tools have seen a lot battles! Good job!

[@Dave-xr4iz]

Awesome video once again. If anyone doubts a power stretcher then this answers their questions. Anyone who has used a kicker to restretch a room will know you would never get that amount of stretch out of a carpet! I now put sealer in my doorways and high traffic areas thanks to your videos, people think it's overkill but when you leave "as you said" the carpet won't fail. I also like your pan gun looks like it has many uses I may have to invest in one.

[@cowboybob993]

Thank you nice work.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Thank you

[@tootooamy]

Would this work carpet to vinyl? Also can you please tell me what the sealer is called!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

LATEX CARPET SEAM SEALER

[@LeoRuiz-f1w]

What kind of glue you using

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

natural latex

[@paulmax72]

I take it that I could do the same thing along side vinyl floor and use a floor strap along the seam?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

paulmax72 Yes, so long as it’s no more than about an inch you can usually cut the bad off and stretch it that much at least

[@justsaygold]

I do these a couple times a week, very common here in California. Great job with stretching to both sides, sometimes they are tricky like that. Do you ever come across carpet to tile where the tile is much higher than the carpet? That would make for a good video.

Gold Coast Flooring | Carpet & Tile Care Sorry about that I meant to say yes I do come across those kinds of situations with real Thick tile and thin carpet the next time I get the chance I will do a video on one thank you for the compliment and for the recommendation and for helping me out The other day

[@justsaygold]

You're welcome, I usually run into it when someone remodels a bathroom and the installer uses 1/2 backer board. I have carpet shims that act like a ramp, just wanted to see how you do it. Hopefully you got the ads working properly, great job on getting 1,000 subs!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Gold Coast Flooring | Carpet & Tile Care That’s actually the exact same way I do it or use the 7 inch shims and make it Alex just like a ramp and no I never did get my ads figured out still the same thing only on incognito do they work but thanks for your help on what you did anyway

[@justsaygold]

Bummer sorry to hear that. I'll dig a little deeper on that issue because I want to start monetizing videos soon too. I'll let you know if I find anything. Thanks again.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

[@TrimTuckCarpets]

What is that sealant you use. What’s it called?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Trim& TuckCarpets It is actually a late text seem sealer I used the Taylor brand it’s actually used for seams but I always use it for doorways and things like that but anyway it’s a late text seem sealer

[@imawaffle7800]

I've got a cat that got locked in a 10x6 closet and he ripped up the carpet at the transition back about an inch and a half. The length I want to stretch is the 10 foot side. I'm curious if I can cover the inch and a half with a strong stretching. If I tried, should I consider anything anchoring the carpet other than the tack strips on the perimeters?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

flippygang Inch and a half is a lot to stretch from a 10 foot round, I don’t think you’ll be able to stretch it that much , I would probably just put some extra nails in the tack strip that you’re stretching to and that will be enough to hold it but if the carpet is torn it’s going to be weaker on that edge and it might not hold up to that much of a stretch so you might end up happening to install a transition piece to gain a little bit of that inch and a half

[@imawaffle7800]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys alright, I'd like to transition just not so sure how. Flooring company wants $500 for the job. They'll sell me the carpet 12x12 for $117. I don't have any spare nor an inconspicuous place to steal from.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

flippygang Is your floor wood or concrete that you’re working on

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

flippygang And also what are you working to are you working to a tile

[@chessdude67]

Very helpful. Thank you. 👍👍✌🏼

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

chessdude67 you’re welcome 😊

[@fredtowns78]

Delamination!!! If the bubbles in the carpet are do to Delamination then the bubbles will return!!! See the backing is hooked on the pins but the primary backing is free to float around into bubbles!!!

[@zuluula]

Best vid ever , what did you use , what’s the machine called

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

zuluula it’s a power stretcher , and thank you

[@1Rivard]

What’s that glue gun your using and where can I get one

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Rocky Rivard There are links in this description if you will look under my video in the description section I have links to all of the tools that I used in this video OK so you can find the Pam glue gun which are used and also the Pam glue sticks, thank you for your inquiry and thank you for watching

[@mikevasililou1415]

How much did you charge for that? Not the whole job just that repair

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Mike Vasililou well it was figured in with the entire job, but if I had of only done this repair it would’ve been a minimum charge of $135, a person has to set the minimum rate to protect themselves from little repairs like this

[@mikevasililou1415]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys thank you so much for the quick response, also really a huge fan of your videos man just got into the carpet game, and you really helped me out a lot so far can't thank you enough

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Mike Vasililou That’s awesome, this is really a good career and I’m glad I have been able to help you

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Would have been better just to replace it. That carpet looked trashed

[@lanaj1107]

The video is pitch black. I can't see a thing!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Sorry, this was in my early KZbin days and I did not have good equipment

[@stevehamman4465]

Lana I , Most of this guys videos are not for the DIY er. I'm an old installer and watch for the entertainment. I wouldn't recommend someone try this particular repair themselves!! He has about $1000.00 worth of special tools, you can rent most from Home Depot!! I knew what he was showing but understand where you're coming from!! He has many videos that show many repairs!! Good luck to you, hope everything works out for you!!!

[@fredtowns78]

Works better for me to put the sealer down first cause I doesn't set up as fast as the glue gun adhesive!!!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Fred Towns I just don’t like getting my carpet trimmer in it
