Soft, warm, and quiet, carefully-chosen, quality carpet (with quality padding underneath) can be used to create most any desired ambiance. With careful attention to the details of carpeting — color, pattern, fiber, and weave — you can define rich and inviting spaces within your home.

Maintaining the sharp appearance of your carpet will require regular vacuuming, quick attention to spills, and annual professional cleaning.
