Flooring

The holidays are coming and I need to schedule carpet cleaning again. Our cleaner advised us to have our carpets cleaned at least twice a year. Once in the spring, and once before the holidays. I wish I could do it by myself, but I know I won't get the same results if it was done professionaly. I just don't have the equipment they use. It can get costly having all these home maintenance. I've actually considered replacing our carpet with pergo
flooring. Someone told me it's much easier to maintain. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to spend money right now. But I can always get a free estimate, can't I?
