Ripping Out the Carpet

We have been a little slower this last week so we FINALLY had time to work on OUR house!  We moved into our new home about two years ago and have been missing the wood floors from our old home.  So with idle hands, we finally had the opportunity to rip out our carpet upstairs.  Now, we have 4 boys between the ages of 7 and 12 along with a one year old Lab.  I clean ALL the time, vacuum, dust, dishes, etc.  But nothing could have prepared me for the amount of dirt that was trapped under all of that carpet padding!

I first felt ashamed and embarrassed, then a little angry.  I had spent so much time cleaning those darn carpets, and for what?  A HUGE amount of dirt to be left behind for us to live in!  No wonder my family's allergies have been acting up since we have lived in this house.

Dirt no more!  All of that old carpet and padding is out of here!  We decided to go with white oak and it is completely installed now.  The first of the sanding has been completed and now the filler is drying.  What an exciting process,  don't get me wrong it has been difficult at times not having a living room or dining room with our large family, but the end result is going to be priceless!

So if you know anyone who suffers from allergies and has carpet in their home, tell them to call us for a free estimate to get their dirt/allergen magnet OUT of their home!  I am not proud to show all of the dirt that came from under our carpet, but I wanted to share this with everyone so they can see what it is they are living with daily.  Give us a call for any questions, or to schedule your free estimate  316-747-4066.  We love comments on your thoughts, so feel free to comment on any of our blogs.  Thanks!
