The carpet is in great shape there is just a hump in the middle of the room, wondering how to stretch carpet so I don't have to replace it.

Carpets sometimes have to be re-stretched. Over time carpets will stretch especially in large rooms. Look for a carpet guy that will charge a fee to re-stretch your carpet. It is best to hire a professional so you can extend the life of your carpets.

I have one too. Large room and I am working out a barter with a neighbor who happens to be a carpet guy. Should not be that much to stretch. But if you do this carpet will last even longer. Good luck

I had this problem with my living room carpet as well. There were two humps almost next to each other. One was longer than the other. I had a carpet guy come out and he wanted to restretch the whole carpet (12.5 x 22). I'm alone and couldn't possibly move all the furniture and books in there. They would do it but at more than double the price. So, I called a second carpet repair guy. Ended up I had to move 1 chair and he fixed it for a fraction of what the other company wanted. Moral of the story - I would get more than 1 estimate.

You can rent a stretcher and do it yourself, but it shouldn't be very expensive.
