The Silver Lining of Water Damage

Around our Store, we refer to an insurance loss caused by water or fire as “involuntary remodeling.” Also known in the industry as restoration, putting things back the way they were before the loss is the primary goal of your insurance coverage. Our goal as a first response specialist and restoration contractor is to minimize the disruption to your home. Some see such disruptions as an opportunity (or even catalyst) to tackle that flooring remodeling job that they had already begun to contemplate.

Consider this scenario. You have a water loss cased by a burst pipe, a bad hot water heater or a faulty toilet. Water gets out in the open and does its thing, which is to migrate downward. The floor almost always is involved and if you are fortunate enough to catch it early, the damage can be minimized by our Steamatic team who can remove the water and begin the drying process. In cases involving wood and laminate, water damage is difficult to reverse, but sometimes flooring can be saved as with carpet where pad replacement, a good cleaning and re-stretching work just fine. Either way, with adequate homowners insurance, you likely have a covered loss and will receive some compensation to restore your floor. Now what? (more…)

Steamatic…I love these guys!

Every parent knows the feeling of pride when you get an unsolicited compliment on your child.  At Steamatic, we have worked hard to provide unparalleled service through training and good, old fashioned hard work.  I have gotten a number of compliments in the past few months on these guys and just couldn’t resist the urge to post a few of them here.  These are actual customer comments that I copied from our “Wall of Fame” which we maintain in our warehouse service area for compliments on our installers and service technicians:

Bob cleaning air ducts.

Jeffrey with an air mover for a water drying job.

The Power of Carpet One

When Barbara and I purchased the Columbus Carpet Mill Store in 2008, we didn’t know a lot about Carpet One.  What we did know was that the Store had grown well beyond its carpet mill outlet store roots which dated back to its beginning in 1964.  After a few months of debate, we decided to change the name of the store to Flooring & More Carpet One.

We did this for several reasons:

  • the Store offers much more than carpet including wood, tile, vinyl, laminate, rugs…not to mention our Steamatic cleaning and restoration division (www.SteamaticOfColumbus.com)
  • the old name carried the connotation of a mill outlet store…while we still have great bargains in our 18,000 square foot warehouse, everything we carry is a first quality, running line item
  • we began to understand the power and value of being part of Carpet One

So our new logo became this:

So why are we so proud to be a part of Carpet One?  A little learning and experience with Carpet One quickly provided the answer.  In one way or another, Barbara and I have had the privilege to have been a part of several fine organizations, and we can easily say that Carpet One stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of the businesses with which we have been associated.  The attitude is simple: outstanding service with the best products and prices for every Carpet One customer.  In fact, something that we discussed recently at a Carpet One trade show is what we call our Carpet One brand box:

  • Over 100 million floors sold…Carpet One has installed over 100 million new floors of all types in homes and rooms of all styles
  • #1 buyer in the world…as a member of the world’s largest floor covering buying group, we buy the best brands for less to sell for less
  • Over 1,000 locations…Carpet One’s locally owned and family operated stores have provided generations of personalized service and community support
  • Over 20,000 years combined experience…beyond expert training, we have the experience required to ensure that your floors are installed perfectly
  • 100% satisfaction guaranteed…if you don’t love the Carpet One floor you choose, we’ll replace it for free.  That’s our unique Beautiful Guarantee.

As Barbara and I have learned, Carpet One truly is “nationally known, but locally owned.”  Come see us and put the power of Carpet One in your home.  Beautiful.  Made Affordable.
