Don’t replace your carpet just because of a few loose ripples or a stubborn burn mark. We provide specialized carpet repair and stretching services in Reno, Sparks, and Carson City that extend the life of your flooring by years. Loose carpet is not only unsightly—it is a dangerous tripping hazard for seniors and pets. Using industrial power-stretchers (not just knee-kickers), we pull your carpet tight and flat, permanently removing wrinkles. From patching iron burns to fixing frayed seams in doorways, our cost-effective solutions save you thousands compared to the cost of new installation.

Why spend thousands replacing perfectly good carpet? We can make it look new again for a fraction of the cost.
Ripples and bumps aren't just ugly; they wear out your carpet faster. We power-stretch the room wall-to-wall, trim the excess, and re-tuck it for a drum-tight fit.
Iron burn? Cigarette hole? Permanent bleach stain? We surgically remove the damaged area and replace it with a matching piece from your closet or remnant supply.
If your carpet is fraying at the doorway or pulling away from the tile, we can re-glue the seams or install new metal transition bars to protect the edges.
The Technical Difference
Many handymen use a “knee kicker” to stretch carpet. This is a temporary fix—the ripples will return in months. At Reno Carpet Care, we do it the right way.
Power Stretching System
We use lever-action power stretchers that span the entire room, generating enough force to lock the carpet onto the tack strip permanently.
Seamless Bonding
For patches, we use thermoplastic seam tape and a tractor tool to blend the fibers, making the repair nearly invisible.

Who We are

Loose, rippled carpet isn’t just unsightly; it is a dangerous trip hazard. We don’t just ‘knee-kick’ the wrinkles; we use industrial power stretchers to pull your carpet tight from wall-to-wall, permanently removing buckles and extending the carpet’s life.
Did an iron, cigarette, or fireplace ember leave a permanent mark? Don’t replace the whole room. We use ‘bonded inserts’—using donor carpet from a closet—to surgically patch the damage, creating a seamless repair that blends perfectly.
Are the seams in your doorways or hallways starting to lift and fray? We carefully re-glue and seal damaged seams using professional thermoplastic tape, blending the edges so the join becomes strong, invisible, and safe for foot traffic.
Cats and dogs often dig at closed doors, leaving shredded fibers and exposed tack strips. We cut out the damaged threshold area and install a durable patch or a new transition, saving you the massive cost of full carpet replacement.
The metal or wood strips where your carpet meets the tile often get bent, loose, or dangerous over time. We remove old, damaged transition bars and install varied styles of new transitions to ensure a smooth, professional finish between rooms.
Berber loops can ‘unzip’ like a sweater if snagged by a vacuum or pet claw. We can often re-weave these loose rows by hand or insert a precision patch, stopping the unraveling immediately before it ruins the entire rug.
The Reno Carpet Care Difference
Repairing carpet is an art form. It requires patience, the right tools, and an eye for detail. Here is why we are Reno’s top-rated repair team.
We never rely on just a "knee kicker." We use industrial power stretchers to pull your carpet drum-tight wall-to-wall, ensuring ripples never return.
Our goal is to save you money. If a repair isn't going to last or look good, we will be honest and tell you it's time to replace instead of taking your money.
Carpet patching is tricky. We use advanced tractor blending techniques to knit the fibers together, making patches as invisible as possible.
We stand behind our stretching. If your carpet ripples again in the same room after we stretch it, we will come back and fix it for free.
From the mountains of Truckee to the valleys of Carson, our technicians are on the road daily.
We do not charge travel fees for our primary service zones.

Northwest Reno
“My carpet had a ripple in the hallway that we kept tripping on. They came and did a carpet stretch and repair. It looks flat and tight like the day it was installed. Fair pricing too.?
Sarah J.
Double Diamond
“Our puppy chewed a hole right in the middle of the living room carpet. I thought we’d have to recarpet the whole house, but they patched it using a piece from the closet. You honestly can’t even tell where the damage was.”
Robert "Bob" C.`
Caughlin Ranch
“The seam in our master bedroom doorway had started to split and look terrible. Reno Carpet Care came out to Caughlin Ranch and fixed it in about an hour. The transition is smooth again and looks professional.”
For a proper wall-to-wall carpet stretch, the room needs to be mostly clear. We can assist with moving light items (sofas, chairs, tables) at no extra cost, but we ask that you clear small electronics, breakables, and heavy china cabinets beforehand. For small patch repairs, moving furniture is usually not necessary.
Not with us. Unlike handymen who use “knee kickers” (a temporary fix), we use industrial power stretchers to tighten your carpet across the entire room. We are so confident in this method that we offer a Lifetime Labor Guarantee—if the ripples return, we fix it for free.
Yes! This is a common situation. We can harvest a small piece of “donor carpet” from the back of a closet. We then replace that closet piece with a generic remnant. This ensures the patch in your living room matches perfectly since it is the exact same dye lot and wear pattern.
Absolutely. Doorway seams are the most common repair we perform in Reno. Depending on the damage, we can stretch the carpet to cut off the frayed edge, re-seam it, or install a wider metal transition bar to cover the damage and prevent future clawing.
We recommend repairing first, then cleaning. Stretching carpet releases trapped dust from the padding, and repairs (like patching) blend better once the fibers are steam cleaned and groomed together. We offer a discount if you book both services same-day.
It is significantly cheaper than replacement! A typical room stretch usually costs between $120–$180, while small patches start around $85. We provide firm, upfront pricing based on the scope of damage, not hourly rates.
We strive for invisibility. Using tractor blending tools and professional seam tape, most patches are unnoticeable to guests. However, visibility depends on the carpet’s wear level. A brand new patch in a dirty, worn carpet may be slightly visible until the carpet is cleaned.
