Would you be surprised to learn that flooring is the third largest single investment made by most people? Your home and your automobile may be the only two larger single investments before your carpet or floor.

Sure, if you add up all of your furniture and other valuables, they may add up to more than what your floor cost, but as a single stand alone investment, it ranks. The question is, do you treat it that way? How do you get the most out of your investment?
You maintain your investment, right? You maintain your home so that it will retain it’s value. You maintain your vehicle by changing the oil on a regular basis to avoid costly repairs. Your carpet is the same way. It should be maintained through regular vacuuming, prompt spot removal, regular professional cleaning, and the application of carpet protector. Your carpet should be vacuumed once or twice a week, and professional cleaning should take place before the carpet has visible soil. Cl

There is a service called Angie’s List that I would like to introduce you to. Angie’s List is a member driven service where homeowners across the U.S. share their ratings and reveiws on local service companies. So, whether you are looking for a plumber or a dentist you can make an educated decision based upon what other consumers say about their personal experience with that company. You can also write reveiws about service companies that you had either wonderful or horrifying experiences with! Yes, there is an effective way for you to warn others about the moving company that broke your treasured family heirloom or the contractor who tore your home apart and never returned to put it back together! And best of all, Angie’s List is free to homeowners at this point. So now is  the perfect time to check it out at www.AngiesList.com.

Halloween is a fun and magical time for kids, but it’s also an important time to be extra vigilant for possible safety hazards so that your children will have a fun and safe Halloween. Here are a few tips to help make your Halloween safer:

• Children should be well supervised by an adult.
• Trick or Treat in groups.
• Stick to well lit houses in familiar neighborhoods only.
• Carry a flashlight.
• Throw out candy or treats that are homemade, unwrapped or if they appear to have been tampered with.
• Wear reflective or bright colored clothing. Many community businesses offer free reflective candy bags for trick or treating.

Stone that is etched, scuffed and scratched can be restored only by the use of mechanical abrasives underneath a rotary machine. Diamond abrasives resurface/remove a slight amount of stone (just enough to get below the etch marks and scratches). All diamond grinding is performed with the use of water to contain dust. The surfacing procedures that follow will determine the desired surface sheen.
