"I’m a mother of an out of state college student; thus, finding a the right service provider was most important. I needed the carpets cleaned by a business oriented professional that would ensure the safety of my daughter and her roommates. Good to Geaux Janitorial delivered all of this and more from the very start. He requested before pictures to determine the work needed rather than giving me a blanket quote like most of the other companies I contacted. His work is impeccable. He sent me his own before and after pictures as well as a video. My daughter and her roommates felt safe in his presence and are extremely happy with the results. I will definitely utilize this company while she attends LSU. Thank you so much Good to Geaux Janitorial."

Oriental Rug or Drapery, Clean and 100% Urine Odor Removal Naturally, by PetPeePee Company. PetPeePee service is a strictly for, Oriental rugs, (all types of Oriental Rugs, Needlepoint, Antique rugs, and custom made Draperies. PetPeePee Guarantee: Permanent Dog or Cat urine odor removal. The principal reasons the members use of the service is the need to get rid of the urine odor naturally, without using all the toxic chemicals of the ordinary carpet cleaning industry! The odor free cleaning products we use are Organic uses Dead Sea minerals as the primary cleaner. Our System works to Perfection! That's why we grant a written guarantee on urine odor removal! We are proud of our work and it shows. Nationwide pick up by UPS and in South Florida offer Pick-up and Delivery

"I discovered petpee.com when I was searching online for ways to remove the urine odor from our 10’ x 14’ Karastan wool oriental rug. I had planned to clean the rug myself, but I was intrigued by the videos I saw on YouTube of petpee.com’s owner, Meir Martin, demonstrating how he cleans rugs like mine. I searched for petpee.com reviews and was blown away by the number of glowing reviews that had been written by satisfied customers. I knew then and there that I wanted to turn my rug over rug to Mr. Martin to finally get rid of the urine odor that had been building up for over 10 years. I called him and got a quote of $1079, which included shipping both ways, cleaning the rug, and a guarantee that I would not be able to detect any urine odor when my rug was returned to me. After getting over the sticker shock, my husband gave me the green light to send the rug to petpeepee.com. I think he was more interested in getting rid of my constant complaints about the urine odor than the actual odor itself! Mr. Martin walked us through how to pack up our rug for shipping via UPS, having us send him pictures to make sure we had prepared it properly. Even though we followed his instructions, I received an email from UPS 5 days later that my rug had been lost. I was regretting my decision to send my rug off for cleaning, UNTIL Mr. Martin worked his magic! I’m only the second customer in all the years petpeepee.com has been in business to have her oriental rug go missing, but that was to my benefit, because Mr. Meir knew exactly who to call (in Utah, of all places!) to track down my rug. Mr. Martin called his contact at UPS every day to check on whether my rug had been found and kept me posted each day for a week. On the seventh day after UPS reported my rug had been lost, Mr. Martin called me with the happy news that my rug had been found!!! Apparently some of the tape I had used to secure the label to the package was not completely flat and caused the label and bag to tear. Mr. Martin received my rug via Next Day Air from UPS on August 23 and began the cleaning process the next day. I loved receiving videos and pictures of the rug being cleaned and getting updates from Mr. Martin throughout the process. (You can see my rug being cleaned on YouTube by searching “Removing urine odor from a supersize Karastan rug.”). We received the rug back on September 2, and it smelled as fresh as it did the day we bought it! It looked so clean and new – worth every penny we paid to have petpeepee.com clean it. I really need more than five stars for my recommendation of petpeepee.com and Meir Martin. He is a true professional and the best communicator of any service provider I’ve ever encountered. I will be sending him more rugs soon! When I do, I will be VERY careful about packaging them, including using a HEAVY DUTY bag and taping multiple labels on the inside and outside of the package and making sure EVERYTHING on the outside is smooth and flat. If you want your rug to be free of urine odor, send it to petpeepee.com with every confidence that it will come back as good and fresh as new!"

A 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 Super Service Award Winner in multiple categories; including Kitchen & Bath Remodeling. Legacy Builders is a full service, Baton Rouge-based residential building / remodeling and contracting firm. Our many Angie's List Super Service Awards demonstrate our commitment to our client's satisfaction. We specialize in Kitchen & Bath remodeling, but will also help with any remodeling or building project you have in mind. Our desire and motivation for every project is excellence in workmanship and a positive experience for our customers.

"Louis and Glen are the best. They did a full remodel on our master bedroom and bathroom. This included turning flat ceiling into cathedral ceiling, new drywall and insulation, new wood and tile flooring, full closet reworking, new tub and sink, new bath tile, new windows, new mini-split a/c unit, new light fixtures, and new exterior siding. He gave us a timeframe, and sure enough, the project was finished up within that timeframe. No delays, no excuses. All the work is extremely high quality. We told Louis what we wanted, and he worked with us to make decisions that were reasonable for our space and within our price range. If one of our ideas wouldn't work, he'd take the time to explain why. He never tried to push us to anything more expensive than we wanted. He works with excellent electricians (Ray and Francis), excellent painters, excellent sheetrock guys, and excellent frameless shower installers. Throughout the work, Louis kept telling us that all he wanted for us was to have something that would be special for our family. That's exactly what he gave us. After the big bathroom/bedroom remodel, we've gone back to him again for an additional shower installation, some electrical work, and even some roofing. I would trust Louis with any project. Unlike other contractors that we spoke to, Louis is extremely responsive, punctual, professional, trustworthy, and courteous. Most contractors are flaky. Not Louis. He's easy to get a hold of, and he'll be there when he says he'll be there. If he does work for you, you will be his priority."

"The Drexel couch and love seat were purchased in 1985 and had never been cleaned. They were dirty but still had beautiful covering on them. We were told that cleaning something as old as our couch may not get all the oil deposited from the skin may not come out. We were fortunate: The couches now look like brand new couches, fresh from the store. Both Stanley Steemer employees, Steven Campbell and Cameron Frickey, worked steadily and thoroughly. They would both be assets to any business. The price was much lower than competitors, many of whom "claimed" to have more powerful equipment, which I seriously doubt. Sometimes the "new kid on the block" such as these upstarts could leave the consumer "high and dry". We chose well selecting Stanley Steemer."

There are many choices in flooring today: Hardwood, Carpet, Laminate, Ceramic, Vinyl, and Area Rugs. It's hard to know where to begin. We're here to help. Select a style all your own. View brands and visit your local store to turn your makeover dream into a reality. It's time to shop! Your locally owned Flooring America store offers expert installation for all of the flooring products we carry. You can trust our installers to create a great-looking floor for your home. Whether it's a solid-color carpet or a detailed, custom tile design, our professionals will get the job done accurately and beautifully.

"Avoid this dealer if you can find what you want else-where. We found them "pretending" to be professional but in reality they are so fly-by-night "make do" amateurs. They promise you quick service and take forever to get the job done. Once they have you on contract, you just have to bird dog them until completion. After several weelks of waiting for our interlocking strip flooring to be installed, a team showed up and after removing the old floor, immediately put down a thick layer of glue !! They began putting down cheap, thin floor strips. We stopped them and forced them to verify what they had brought was wrong. Then they had to spread dry-zit and scrape up the glue. Our whole house was a dust storm and we had to live with the bare dusted slab surface a few more weeks until the correct floor material came in. AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE YOU WOULD AVOID POISON IVY. They are the worst."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

You may be able to use super glue in a pinch to fix your carpet, but expect the repair to last only a short time. Super glue isn't designed for carpet, so over time, it'll break down, and the carpet piece will move out of place. For the best results, go to the store and grab a bottle of carpet seam glue. 

There are a few carpet maintenance tips you’ll want to use to keep your carpet looking brand-new. Make sure you tackle stains immediately, and only use cleaners gentle enough for your carpet's specific fibers. You can even pop area rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpeting to change the look of your space and protect the carpet below.

You can use a carpet patch to replace a single section of carpet. You’ll cut out the damaged section and then replace it with a caret patch. The patch should be the same color as the existing carpet. You can also hire a professional carpet repair company to get it done. 

Standard padding works like a sponge. It absorbs liquid, soaking up every drop of moisture that hits it. Moisture barrier padding does the opposite because it has a waterproof coating made of plastic film, rubber, or treated foam. It doesn’t absorb spills and keeps them on the surface instead, so you can clean them up before they damage your subfloor. 

While some carpet repair kits exist and only cost around $15, they are not usually appropriate for Berber repair. Typically, they include small pieces of fibers to use as patches, and Berber carpets are typically colored very differently from other kinds of carpets. This is why it is imperative to try and locate a spare piece of carpet from your original installation when you need to patch up an area.

In addition, the tools these kits include are often watered-down versions of the ones you can buy individually from your local hardware store (e.g., the glue in the kit will not be as strong as your hot glue gun or the double-sided carpet tape).
