I really enjoy your videos because alot of the guy I ust to work with are in the hereafter, our in bed like me most of the time due to pain an nerve damage EVERYWHERE!!! Watching you videos I feel as if I'm working an hanging out!! My Dad laid carpet from 1946 till 2005!!? He passed in 2006 at the age of 80!!! He worked in carpet an tile starting in late 1945 after he got out of the US Navy!!! He had 10 men an 5 vans plus he had a box van he drove, but he had a helper and did a day's work just like his guys!! I started for him in 1967!!! He gotten undercut in pricing so he gave what was left of his business to me and I maintained 5 to 7 guys most of the time, my Dad worked for Me the last 7 years before his death!!! I'm 72 an feel bad, my Dad was going strong at 72!!! When I started in 1967 we hand sewed everything, an when my dad started there was no tacks trip everything was pole stretch then turned an tacked over horse hair pad!!! When I was a helper I took up my share of carpet that was turned an tacked!!! Not fun at all!!!

I took a carpet restretch and repair class and did not learn 20% of what I learned by watching your videos. Thank you very much!!

I thought I was watching bear grylls fitting carpet for a minute!! Lol great video really liked it. one thing, I'd just play your video at normal speed instead of speeding it up I like to see the whole job (I'm sad like that) . that power stretcher is some tool made the job look easy great video keep them coming.

What's The best way for a cleaner to learn stretching and repairs to offer it to clients that need it?

[@bobking1297]

I have heard that opening someone else's seam can be a nightmare to work with. How do your go about doing that (like when you needed to cut the seam between the living room and hall transition? Thank you for your videos.

[@wajeehhuweih5320]

Thank you sir

[@jayw4963]

Great Videos. What are you thoughts on the Kneeless stretchers(triforce, carpet frog, kneeless by pete)? Have you ever tried one?

[@greenrhinoproject]

Nice step through instructions.

[@derykwatson]

What kind of knee kicker do you use or recommend?

[@tammiegrady7635]

I wished you lived near Rocky Point NC.

[@superbcarpet]

It's nice to see a craftsman not pounding his knee instead. Just a thought: Why not just stretch toward the door in that last room where you split the seam in the doorway. Stay nail both sides of the seam to hold the stretch and remake the seam. I tend to be able to split right on the seam and cut the old tape off then remake the same seam. That way there is no saddle seam in the doorway. Nice Job! If you offered cleaning you could have done that after the re-stretch.

[@allanpennington]

Why does this happen, i.e. was it not stretched properly on initial installation? I assume this was someone else's work that you are fixing? Is it common to get some wrinkling after any install?

[@joeculver4103]

How much does a restrech cost is it more than the install who eats that bill the carpet company???

[@carpet180]

Thanks for sharing. What did you charge for something like that ? Was it through the store you work through? What do you guys charge per yd. where your at for new carpet install? The guys I know and I charge $4.50 per yd where we are . Thanks

[@fredtowns78]

Why dont u ever use stay nails?? The large masonary nails work good on concrete.

[@sb1806]

should use stay nails across that doorway to hold the stretch .

[@TheAmysjoy2823]

And this is why you put transition strips in doorways.
