About Reed Schaible

Reed Schaible works on carpet in Philadelphia. Listed under carpet repair, it is a one-person business with 20 years in business, working on residential and commercial floors.

The listing covers partial replacement of damaged carpet, restretching carpet to fit, and installing new carpet pad. Reasons for repair include water damage, carpet that has come loose from the tack strip and carpet that simply needs restretching. Ripples and bumps usually appear when carpet was not stretched tight at installation or has loosened with years of foot traffic and furniture moving; restretching pulls it back over the tack strip and trims the excess. Water-damaged carpet often has a ruined pad underneath even when the carpet itself can be dried, which is where new pad comes in.

A partial replacement works most smoothly when there is matching carpet to patch with, such as a leftover remnant or a piece from inside a closet. If you have any spare carpet from the original installation, mention it.

The hours on the listing are mostly late afternoon and evening: 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Friday, and 7:00 am to noon on Saturday, with no hours posted for Wednesday or Sunday. When you call, describe the problem, the size of the room and any water involved, and send a photo of the affected area.
