Unpopular opinion: Hurrying through carpet tacking always leads to callbacks.
That extra hour you save now turns into a full day of repairs when the edges pop loose.

My living room carpet was done in like twenty minutes flat, been fine for two years lol. Maybe some guys just get unlucky with the staples?

Twenty minutes for a whole living room is crazy fast, honestly. That speed usually means corners got cut, like not using a power stretcher at all. It might feel fine now, but carpet installed that quick will almost definitely get wrinkles and loose spots in a year or two. It's less about bad luck with staples and more about how rushing the job leads to problems down the road.

Staples rarely fail on their own, it's usually poor stretching that causes problems down the line (seen it too many times). Two years without issues is possible, but those wrinkles might still be coming.
