Can a rookie hope to be successful at pulling up the carpet in a few places in the upstairs of our house, screwing the subfloor to the joists to hopefully eliminate some nagging squeaks, and then putting the carpet back using a carpet stretcher (having never used one, hope to rent one) and make it look as good as it does now? Some of these squeaks are just driving me to distraction and I need to fix them. I addressed most of the squeaks on the main floor by going to the basement and putting shims between the subfloor and the joist in the offending area. I know there is a product for eliminating squeaks under carpeted floors, special screws that you can drill in and then snap the head off, but I worry about damaging the berber carpet.
Thanks for any guidance/advice.
Mike
