Introducing Hardwood Floor Restoration

10/25/2019

Twice in the last 20 years I moved into homes that needed Sanding and Staining. Each time it was quite an ordeal with dust getting everywhere and then of course the smell of the refinishing oil base that most refinishers use which caused me to need to leave my home and stay in a hotel. The second time we had it done i had a young daughter so my wife and child were out of the home for almost a week adding greatly to the expense of the job not to mention the inconvenience!

So when one of my workers mentioned that he had been trained to do wood floor restoration that was less invasive and that he swore left floors beautiful and customers very happy I was all ears! We are always looking to help solve problems and exceed expectations.

So I am excited to announce that Lehigh Rug Service will now be offering Sandless Wood Floor Restoration that uses Water based Urethane that leaves floors beautiful without such a strong odor. Not only that but the process is quick drying which means that often you don't need to leave your house even for one night!.

So if you have been putting off getting your Hard Wood Floors Refinished we have a solution!

Call now and we will come out and give a free evaluation to see if your floors would benefit from our process or need a full Sanding and Staining and if they do we will also give a free estimate! Not only that if you are unsure of our method we are will to do a test area of your choosing with our method so you can see exactly what your floors will look like when completed.

Winter is Coming!! And so are the holidays

10/14/2019

One of the most interesting thing about a service business if you do it correctly I believe is a desire to please everyone. If you don't have that basic instinct I believe you are probably in the wrong business. But it is the nature of almost every business to have busy and slow seasons. During busy seasons it can be difficult to please everyone especially as it relates to scheduling.

Often it is hard to give everyone the date and time that they want to have their Carpets Cleaned and Rugs Stretched in time for the holidays. With that in mind we are offering our October special which we just eamailed out to all our customers we have emails on. Book for the holidays now and receive 10 dollars off any cleaning or stretching with the code EMAIL or $50 off any new carpet or flooring sale.

This is the best of both worlds it helps you get the time and date that you want for your job and saves you money as well.

Everyone loves the Ocean except when your carpets look like the waves of the sea

9/25/2019

Most people love a good day at the beach, the sun, the surf the wonderful smell in the air of the sea, but everyone hates to see waves in their carpets. Unfortunately many carpets loosen up naturally over time. Other times carpets loosen up because they were installed only with a knee kicker.

A knee kicker is a great tool but typically it only stretches carpets a half inch to an inch. Add in the fact that carpet backing is very stiff and often when rugs are installed they are not properly stretched if using only a knee kicker. Whether it is for a new carpet installation or a carpet restretch we always use a power stretcher to ensure your bubbles don't come back..

Recently we did a carpet stretching job in Allentown and the customer was amazed that our mechanic Eric was able to get almost two inches of carpet trimmed after stretching! The consumer asked how that was possible and Eric replied, "You should have seen this carpet stretching job I did in Center Valley awhile back! I got a full three inches on the trim since it was a thick carpet."

One of the other nice things about Eric is that he comes to stretching jobs with a truck mount carpet cleaning truck so you can have your rugs stretched and cleaned the same day - something most companies don't offer.

We also can fix most other problems with carpets and can patch holes or stains as well.

We are here to help solve all your carpet and flooring problems.

The Value of Carpet Protector

9/10/2019

arpet Protector is the generic name for Scotchguard and there is much confusion about what this product does.

Here at Lehigh Rug we are big believers in Carpet Protector because it helps to lengthen both the way carpets look as well as how long they last.. Here are some key points about Carpet Protector and why we believe in it.

Carpet Protector helps keep dirt and stains from penetrating carpet keeping them cleaner.
Most Carpet Mills apply Carpet Protector to new rugs as they know the value of the product.
Carpet Protector protects dirt and stains from settling deep into the fibers making it easier to clean going forward.
Carpet Protector helps keep dirt from grinding the fibers helping your carpet to last longer and look better.
While some Carpet Protector's are not "GREEN" here at Lehigh Rug Service we only use GREEN protector to help keep the environment safe.
Yes unless you have an older rug or an inexpensive rug you don't want to invest in we recommend applying Protector after cleaning for both the long term life and appearance of your rugs..
Yes Carpet Protector helps area rugs. In fact Wool is a fabric where we think Protector is almost a must as it is a hollow natural fiber that absorbs more than man made fibers
Over soaking a carpet to clean it is not ideal for the life of your carpet. Adding protector makes cleaning easier ensuring less water is needed in the rinse

So all in all Protector greatly enhances both the life span and quality during the lifespan of carpets. We charge 30% of your job for simplicity sake. So if your job is $200 it will cost $60 to apply and brush in protector. For this blog post we are sending out an email blast to our customers with 50% off of protector the best price we ever offer on this service. Need your rugs clean again? Want a great deal?

Welcome to Lehigh Rug Service Blog. My name is Tod and I am the owner. We will be sharing key content on the blog to teach and inform not only about our services but what separates us from those who do not live up to their promises. Hence the name Floor Better or Worse.. I love a good pun and I thought the name kind of catchy. I hope you like it and our content here and that it helps you to have more power and information going forward about flooring!

We do Carpet Cleaning in all of the Lehigh Valley. For some reason we always get questions whether we clean carpets in Nazareth. Which is funny because I live in Nazareth! So we definitely clean carpets in that whole pocket area of Nazareth and Wind Gap as well as the Lehigh Valley. We even will travel further at times upon request

So whatever your flooring needs if you want the highest rated company to do your service please give us a call.
