Carpets in an Amarillo need streching
We bought an Amarillo 3 br ranch in 2007. We were visiting last week and noticed that the carpets are buckling. We called a person who was recommended in Duval and he said that he is sending out flyers because he does carpet streching. I sent him a check and he will do this while we are still up North. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Probably after we are down there for a few months we may look into tile or wood. Which is better, hard wood or tile or vinyl flooring. Any advice would be greatly appreached. Thanks, JanetandCarol

We had to have our carpet stretched twice in the 1st 5 years (it was a new house). Finally ripped up the carpet and put tile down. Love the tile!

I didn't realize how much filth carpet harbors. We have had ours cleaned a few times and vacuumed regularly and when I pulled it up it was disgusting. Had I realized this earlier I would have removed the carpeting even if I hadn't had the dust mite problem. Once you have hard floors you will realize how much dirt enters your house by the number of Swifter replacements you use. BTW. our kitchen and baths are vinyl but the kitchen will soon be tile. |

Carpet Stretching and do not buy from Griffis Carpet in Ocala
Janetand Carol,
We bought a Jasmine in 2006. Our carpets are a mess and need stretching too. The carpet continues to loose fibers in the sweeper. It is like the carpet is falling apart. Installer was Griffis Tile & Flooring in Ocala. I have asked them how long the Mohawk carpet is warranted. Since my initial phone call on October 8th and several phone call I do not have an answer. I would not recomend buying anything from Griffis in Ocala. POOR POOR SERVICE!! Up north we never had to stretch carpet.... Thanks, |

Carpet Streching
Thanks for the notes. We did pay for the streching and it was done on November 13th according to "Empty Nests". I can't wait to see it.

the type of flooring you have doesn't change the need to clean, only the method is different, I prefer carpet because it is soft, walking on tole or wood causes problems with my back...ed
