Choosing a carpet repair company comes down to one question: will they fix it right, the first time, for less than replacement? The Carpet Guy has answered that for Twin Cities homeowners and businesses since 1986 — repairing, stretching, and restoring carpet instead of pushing costly replacement.
This page explains what a full-service carpet repair company should offer, what sets us apart, and how to choose the right one.
What a Full-Service Carpet Repair Company Offers
A capable carpet repair company handles every common problem under one roof, so you don’t hire two or three contractors:
- Carpet stretching and restretching for ripples and bubbles
- Patching for burns, holes, and stains
- Seam repair for separating or peaking seams
- Pet damage repair, including pad replacement
- Water damage extraction, drying, and restoration
- Threshold and edge repair at doorways
We cover all of it — residential and commercial — across the metro. See our full carpet repair and carpet restretching services.
What Sets The Carpet Guy Apart
- Established since 1986. Nearly four decades serving the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin — not a national lead-routing service.
- Professional power stretcher. Required by the Carpet and Rug Institute’s CRI-105 standard and echoed by the IICRC, it’s what makes a stretch last. We use one on every job.
- 24-hour response time, plus 24/7 emergency water damage service.
- 10-year workmanship guarantee.
- Military and law enforcement discounts.
- Free phone estimates so you know the cost before we arrive.
How to Choose a Carpet Repair Company
Use this quick checklist when comparing companies:
| What to Check | Why It Matters |
| Years in business | Experience and accountability |
| Power stretcher use | Stretches that actually last |
| Written guarantee | Protection if anything fails |
| Up-front estimates | No surprise pricing |
| Residential + commercial | One company for every job |
| Real, recent reviews | Proof of consistent quality |
A company that checks every box will save you money and the hassle of re-hiring.

Stretching, patching, seam repair, pet damage, water damage, and threshold repair — ideally all from one provider so you don’t hire multiple contractors.
How do I choose the best carpet repair company?
Look for an established local company that uses a power stretcher, offers a written guarantee, gives up-front estimates, serves both homes and businesses, and has strong recent reviews.
Do you handle commercial carpet repair?
Yes. We serve commercial and residential customers across the Twin Cities and work around your schedule to minimize disruption.
