Is Carpet a Good Choice for Your Home?

While many people are turning to hard floors for a variety of reasons, there are still 7 excellent reasons to choose carpeting for your home.

  1. Carpet is beautiful - Carpet offers limitless varieties of textures, colors, patterns and styles; there is a carpet available to suit almost any taste.
  2. Carpet is a good value - The average cost of synthetic residential carpet with pad and professional installation isaround $2.50 to $5.00 per square foot.
  3. Carpet is warm - Carpet insulates, typically resulting in 10% or more of energy savings. Not only that, but carpet makes a room feel warmer too.
  4. Carpet is quieter - Carpet absorbs sound, making a house quieter and more relaxing. If you have ever heard a 75 pound Golden Retriever running on a wood floor, you understand this benefit.
  5. Carpet is safer - Carpet reduces the occurrence of slips and falls and the severity of injuries from these accidents. This is especially important in a home occupied by the elderly and small children.
  6. Carpet is healthier - According to the EPA, carpet traps pollutants instead of allowing them to be distributed in the air. The result? Homes and buildings with properly maintained carpets generally have better air quality than those with hard flooring.
  7. Carpet is easier - Interim care of carpet is accomplished simply by vacuuming. Depending on the number of people and pets, this may be done in as little as 3 or 4 hours a month in the typical household. Aside from prompt attention to spills, this is usually all that is needed between professional cleanings.

Friendly, accommodating & does a very good job. We have used Van’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Service for over 10 years!

Lynn Jones - Eustis, FL

I want to recommend Van’s Carpet Cleaning Service for both carpet and tile. A small flood discolored part ofc my wall-to-wall carpet while I was out of town. It was particularly noticeable because there had been a dirty floor mat on top of that part of the rug. I chose Van’s because they do real steam cleaning and their IICRC certification which Consumer Report recommends using while selecting a carpet cleaner. Even before I committed to use them, Ernie came out to estimate the cost and sprayed something to start working on the stain. Now it is almost gone. I doubt anyone else would know it was ever stained. The whole carpet looks fantastic even the darker frequently walked paths into the mbr and kitchen are gone. The carpet only been vacuumed and never professionally cleaned since we moved in almost 7 years ago so the paths were quite visible.
