Goodbye and Good Riddance to Summer Mold
It’s hot, humid, rainy... and the perfect breeding conditions for the age-old household enemy—mold! Many home owners start to see this ring true as the hot summer months roll around. As Robert Weitz, a certified microbial investigator says, “Mold is not picky – it only needs moisture and a food source, such as wood, ceiling tiles, carpet, or sheet rock, to begin growing. The house next door may be fine, and yours may be a serious health hazard.”
Make Your Carpet Look New Again
Whether you realize it or not, carpets are a tell-tale sign of a home’s true age.

Clean carpets can make a big difference in the perceived youth of a living space.

Time for a Stretch
When your carpet is installed, it’s meant to be stretched tight across the floor, but as the years pass, it can start to buckle. Your carpet gets wrinkled from normal, everyday life, but it can be worse if you have a lot of traffic in your home, if you’ve been moving heavy furniture, or if your carpet was poorly installed in the first place. When we stretch a carpet, we are pulling it taut again and trimming off any excess so that it looks like new!
