Expert Carpet Repair & Power Stretching in Washington County, Yamhill County & the Portland West Hills
Carpet Care Worthy of Your Home — Crafted by IICRC-Certified Specialists
A burn, a tear, a ripple across the living room floor — none of it means your carpet is finished. In most cases, it means your carpet needs a craftsman.
At Carpet MD Inc., we repair burns, tears, pet damage, and split seams, and we eliminate the ripples and wrinkles that make carpet look worn and create genuine tripping hazards. Where a cleaning-only company has to say "we don't do that" we pick up our tools and fix it.
Serving Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Beaverton, Tigard, McMinnville, Sherwood, Newberg, Banks, Cornelius, North Plains, and communities throughout Washington and Yamhill Counties — proudly since 2006.
The Carpet MD Difference: Repair Craftsmanship, Backed by a 3-Year Guarantee
Twenty-one years of ownership. Twenty-six years in the craft. IICRC-certified
technicians on every job.
Carpet repair is a distinct skill from carpet cleaning — and it's where many
companies quietly fall short. Chris Sutton built Carpet MD on both crafts, which means our clients never have to coordinate between a cleaning company and a repair company, or accept "you'll just need to replace it" as an answer.
A three-year guarantee on all repairs and stretching — we're confident
enough in our craftsmanship to put years behind it, not weeks.
- IICRC-certified technicians trained in proper repair and stretching technique
- Professional power stretching equipment — not knee-kicker shortcuts — to restore tension that lasts
- Seamless patching and seam work matched to your existing carpet
- White-glove service from assessment to final walkthrough — we show you the finished result before we call it done
Every repair visit runs on our Concierge Scheduling: you'll get a texted reminder two days out, a confirmed arrival window, a courtesy call when we're on the way — and a next-business-day follow-up to make sure the repair has settled exactly as it should.
Why Professional Repair Beats Replacement — And DIY
At a fraction of the cost of replacement.
This is the arithmetic most homeowners never run: repairing a burn, a tear, or a rippled room typically costs a small fraction of tearing out and replacing the carpet. Before you price replacement, price the repair.
Stop small damage from becoming big damage.
A small tear left alone grows. A loose seam becomes a separated one. Prompt repair prevents the kind of damage that does force replacement.
Restore the look you paid for, an honest assessment, every time.
When the carpet is in good condition, a well-executed repair blends seamlessly — guests won't know where the damage was. But we'll be straight with you about the limits: if the carpet is heavily worn, if the backing is damaged, or if we have to work with donor carpet from a closet or remnant — especially in a high-traffic area — a perfectly invisible match isn't always possible. We'll tell you exactly what result to expect before we start, so you can make the decision with full information.
How to Choose a Carpet Repair Company Worth Hiring
Anyone can rent a machine. Here's how discerning homeowners separate true professionals from commodity cleaners:
A repair specialist, not just a cleaner
Ask directly whether they do power stretching, patching, and seam work as a core service. At Carpet MD, repair is in our name.
A guarantee with real years behind it
Ask how long their repair work is guaranteed. Many companies won't quote any guarantee at all.
Certified technicians
Carpet MD's technicians are IICRC-certified.
Power stretching equipment, not just a knee kicker
The difference between a lasting fix and a temporary one.
Honest assessment
A company that tells you when repair isn't the right answer is a company you can trust when they tell you it is.
One complete price quoted up front
We assess, then quote properly. No vague estimates.

Can Ripples in Carpet Be Fixed? Yes — Properly Stretched, Guaranteed for Three Years.
Ripples and wrinkles are among the most common carpet problems we fix — and among the most misunderstood.
Why carpets ripple:
improper original installation, heavy foot traffic, and humidity changes all cause carpet to lose tension over time.
The proper fix is power stretching.
Using specialized stretching equipment, we re-tension the carpet across the room until it lies flat and taut — anchored correctly so it stays that way.
A safety issue worth taking seriously — and it won't wait for you.
Rippled carpet is one of the most common in-home fall risks, especially for children and older family members. And every day of foot traffic on loose carpet works the backing — what might be a straightforward power stretch today can grow into a larger, costlier repair or replacement. Addressing it early isn't spending money; it's protecting it.
What Does Carpet Repair Cost?
It depends on the damage — but almost always far less than replacement. Burn patches, seam repairs, pet-damage sections, and full-room power stretching are each priced by the job after a professional assessment. You'll receive one complete price quoted up front — no vague estimates, no surprises after the work is done. That single number includes the repair, the materials, and the craftsmanship promise behind it.

What Lyla Told Us

Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Repair
What types of carpet damage can be repaired?
We repair burns, holes, cuts, tears, wrinkles (ripples), and loose edges — most carpet damage you'll encounter is repairable. Some repairs require donor carpet; if you don't have leftovers from installation, we can often source it from a closet or another hidden area, handling it so the donor spot is usually not visible.
Is carpet stretching really necessary?
Yes — and it matters more than most homeowners realize. Proper stretching prevents the wrinkles and bumps that create tripping hazards, and it protects the life of your carpet: loose carpet flexes and abrades with every footstep, wearing out years earlier than it should.
How do I know if my carpet can be repaired?
The vast majority of issues can be repaired — burns, pet damage, seams, and ripples included. A professional assessment determines whether repair or replacement is the right call. After 26 years in this craft, we'll tell you plainly when a carpet is worth saving (it usually is) and when it truly isn't.
What should we do before a repair service?
Just one thing: remove small items from the carpet and breakable items from any furniture the technicians will need to move. We handle the rest — Carpet MD is a full-service, white-glove company.
Is carpet repair worth it compared to replacing the carpet?
In most cases, absolutely. A professional repair typically costs a small fraction of tearing out and replacing carpet. Before you price new carpet — not to mention installation, hauling away the old, and the disruption — price the repair.
What's the difference between power stretching and a quick fix?
A proper repair uses power stretching equipment to re-tension the carpet across the entire room, anchored correctly so it stays flat. A knee-kicker "touch-up" may look better briefly, but without proper tension the ripples usually return within a season. If you've had carpet "fixed" before and the wrinkles came back, that's likely why.
My carpet is rippling and someone in my home has caught a toe on it. How urgent is this?
Treat it as a genuine safety issue, not a cosmetic one. Rippled carpet is one of the most common in-home fall risks, especially for children and older family members. Power stretching eliminates the hazard quickly — and prompt repair also prevents the looseness from spreading.
Can you repair pet damage to carpet?
Yes — pet damage repair is one of our specialties, from sections damaged by scratching or digging to areas affected by accidents. Because Carpet MD handles both repair and pet contamination treatment, we can repair the carpet and address the odor beneath it in one coordinated job.
Do you guarantee your repair work?
Yes — every repair and stretching job we perform is guaranteed for three years. That's not a 30-day courtesy or a "we'll look at it" promise: three full years of craftsmanship accountability. Few companies in this industry put years behind their repair work; we do, because after two decades we know how our repairs hold up.
