Over the last few years the carpet has developed substantial wrinkles.

Can anything be done to get it to contract? I've already priced having a
reputable company come and trim it, and it's more than I feel like
spending to cure the problem.

Thanks



buy yourself a carpet stretcher and bang up YOUR knees instead of
paying the "robber baron" flooring guys to do the job - or get a
disreputable company to screw the job up for you?
