Before re-stretching carpet, it’s essential for the room to be emptied of furniture to ensure a safe and effective re-stretching process. With all furniture removed, technicians can have unimpeded access to the entire carpet area, allowing them to identify any issues such as wrinkles, buckles, or improper installation. Additionally, this creates a safe working environment free from obstacles, minimizing the risk of damage to both the carpet and the furniture.

By having the room completely free of furniture, the technicians can also apply the necessary tools and techniques without any distractions, ensuring a more thorough and accurate stretch of the carpet. This comprehensive approach helps in achieving a professional finish that not only looks better but also prolongs the life of the carpet.

In contrast, having the room partially furnished or fully furnished can hinder the stretching process, making it difficult to maneuver equipment and potentially leading to ineffective results. A half-emptied or partially furnished room still leaves obstacles that could affect the technician's ability to properly stretch the carpet and inspect it adequately.
