What is the purpose of a carpet tack and how is it used in carpet installation?
A carpet tack is a small nail-like object used to secure carpet to the floor. It is used in carpet installation to hold the carpet in place and prevent it from shifting or moving. The carpet tack is hammered into the floor along the edges of the carpet, allowing the carpet to be stretched and secured tightly in place.

Is it better to have carpet cleaned or stretched first?
This is debatable, so you may receive varying answers. Depending on the method used to clean the carpet (IE: steam cleaning vs. dry foam cleaning, etc) it is my belief you should have the carpet cleaned, then stretched. Stretching the carpet before a cleaning may have some expensive consequences. Carpet can shrink, expand, or warp during cleaning...which would make prestretching pointless. Additionally, depending on the age and condition of the carpet, prestretching before a cleaning may possibly result in the carpet itself being pulled away from the corners and walls after it has been cleaned. In this case, it would need to be stretched again. Point being; stretch after cleaning.

Rolls are generally worse when it is humid. Regardless, rolls in the carpet mean it needs to be stretched. You can rent a carpet kicker, but a pro would be best.

Another possibility is heavy furniture was dragged across. Make sure when the carpet is stretched it is first pulled back to make sure the pad is not bunched up as well.
