*Sometimes your floor only needs a cleaning, rather than replacing. A cleaning with Chem-Dry of Stromsburg can actually make carpet look like new.

Pros of Carpet:

Provides more warmth

Carpet acts and insulation and keeps your home warmer. This is especially good in winter months because it requires you to spend less money on heat. 

Comfortable and soft

The first step on cold tile, or even hardwood, is chilly! With carpet, you have a comfortable, cozy place to walk. If you have little ones in your house carpet is especially helpful. It gives them a comfortable place to crawl and play. If they fall, as kids often do, they will have a soft place to break their landing. 

Affordable option

Carpet can often be a more affordable option compared to other types of flooring.

Dresses up the room

Adding carpet to a room changes the style and feel. It can take a room from boring to beautiful.

Acts as a sound barrier

Carpet acts as a sound barrier by breaking up the noise from your television, music players, or loud conversations. 

Variety of choices

From color to print to length- there are a lot of options when it comes to carpet! Carpet acts a way to express yourself in your home design.

Cons of Carpet:

Allergies 

Carpet can trap allergens and dust. If those elements aren’t removed, they can contribute to allergy symptoms.

Requires maintenance 

It’s no mystery that all areas of your house require attention. Carpets are no different. Regularly vacuuming and cleaning your carpet are suggested for maintenance.
