Just another update for your carpet

When it comes to carpet there can be a few misconceptions when it comes to cleaning, foot wear, and well maintenance.  Carpet is just like any other flooring, it likes to be cleaned.  You cant over vacuum your carpet, especially on your stairs and in your hall way.  A rule of thumb is you should know is you should be vacuuming your carpet once a week per individual/ animal living at your house.  So in our house hold there lives 5 people a dog and a cat so with this  we should be vacuuming everyday... we don't, but we do our best.  When it comes to cleaning your carpets... STEAM is the only way to go. Chemical cleaning is very bad for your carpet, when the chemicals get on your carpet it makes your carpet fibers stick together. Steam cleaning your carpet should be done at least once a year by a certified carpet cleaner.  Every 6 months for people who have lots of pets or smoke.  When you get your carpet cleaned it has a tendency to get 'revived' from all the foot traffic that it withholds to.  With this is mind steam cleaning your carpet will keep your carpet looking good and preform better.  As a side note manufacture warranty's 'fine print' will take note that you need to maintain your carpet to their standards on vacuuming and steam cleaning.

Now for a side mark dealing with the blend of your carpet (Nylon, Polyester, ect.) Polyester carpet needs to be cleaned more often to have optimum performance.  Nylon has better wear when it comes down to it.  If you have high traffic areas ( stairs, hallways)  then those areas may need to be done more often than a low traffic area (bedrooms, ect.).

Adura Bathroom

So we just finished a bathroom and you may be shocked to know that we took before... during... and after pictures of the bathroom! the transofrmation is great!

The before was carpet in a bathroom... my personal opinion is Yucky!

These are just pictures of the sub floor!

The finished product! All Adura luxury vinly tile grouted with unstainable grout! HOW GREAT RIGHT!
It looks AmAzInG!

Our bathroom with new tile

I wish that before we installed this tile you could have seen what this bathroom looked like! Alose your eyes and picture PEACH and GOLD everything! YUCK! Peach cabinets, tile, walls, countertop... ect. But it was bad! So we painted, got a new cabinet and picked new tile! Now... The bathroom is complete bliss!!! :) I am so happy!

Flippy house update!

So when life gets busy... as it always does for us, we are still working on the house so we can flip it, slowly making progress. I hope from the pictures you will appreciate the work as much as we will when you see the before and after pictures! But seriously the paint they had in this house was... interesting to say the least!  There used to be cabinets in the above room!

I guess the picts dont really let you see all the pictures with the terrible paint but the house is undergoing alot!

The bathroom that is about to be gutted! Ahhh! peel and stick tile just will not do!

A little sneek peek! :) dont be to frightened!

Flooding and flooring

Water as we all know isn't good in the house... Out side fine, but inside it is bad... Kinda like children ( but that is neither here nore there).  In the sad case that you find water in your basement just a few things to look for.
What type of water is it?
        Sewer water... Take it up and throw it away. Call you insurance and have them pay you to fix it (we sell and install Hint Hint)
        Rain water/ Pipe breaking.... Dry everything out completely! Pull up the carpet put fans down and dry the carpet the padding.  Leave down all the tack strips and leave down the padding. The carpet can be dried and saved.
Hope this is helpful for you and the water troubles.

Tile with a little flare

We have a big job going on for a ballet studio addition remodel.  I am so happy with how it is turning out I wanted to share some of the progress.
For the sake of the post we will call my customer Mrs. C. As we were finding all the tile for the bathrooms meeting a short time window and staying warm but not going totally brown, and keeping it pleasing to the eye, we found a frosted tile to go with the large tile and the smaller floor tile. I think it is looking great if you ask me.

it still needs to be grouted and the pictures of that will be coming soon!  :)
