Steve’s Carpet Care & Restoration Services Lafayette, CO
Like a lot of towns in this part of the country Lafayette, Colorado has a colorful history. Founded in 1888 by Mary E. Miller the town takes its name from Mrs. Miller’s husband, Lafayette Miller. The couple had moved to the area in the mid-19th century to farmland purchased from Denver-based coal speculators. In time another land acquired via the Homestead Act in 1871 was added to their farm. In 1878 Lafayette Miller passed away leaving Mary the farm and six small children. In 1884 rich coal deposits were discovered beneath the land and throughout the late 1880s various coal companies leased portions of Miller’s land and sunk mines. Several of these wound up being very profitable and Mrs. Miller quickly gained both fortune and fame.
In 1888 Mrs. Miller set aside a portion of her land for the purpose of creating a new town, which she named after her late husband. Gradually she apportioned more and more of her family farm to the budding town although her donations came with the caveat that no alcohol could be sold or consumed on the land. While coal mining was the bread and butter of the town for the first half of the 20th century, by the mid-1950s the coal industry began to decline. By the beginning of the 1960s the town and surrounding area had reverted to a largely agricultural economy.
Between 1960 and today the town of Lafayette experienced a nearly 10-fold population increase. Today, some 29,000 residents live here with many commuting to Boulder some 30 minutes away. The town has an unconventional shape with small snippets of town land extending outward to the north, east, and west. And most of the housing stock in the area reflects several different growth periods beginning in the Postwar Years and including a recent spate of homebuilding at the town’s western end.
The Importance of High-Quality Carpet Cleaning in Lafayette
Homes in Lafayette are typically well-maintained by owners who take great pride in the beauty of their town and its reputation for being a great place to raise a family. Many of the homes have wall-to-wall carpeting and those that don’t often have very expensive Oriental rugs in their dens and living rooms. Carpeting helps retain heat during the bitterly cold winter months but it also tends to collect dirt, debris, and allergens and play host to large quantities of dust that blows in from the plains to the east.
It’s important that area homeowners keep their carpets clean and fresh and no one is better qualified to handle the carpet cleaning needs of the Lafayette community than Steve’s Carpet Care & Restoration. Our truck-mounted vacuum and carpet cleaning system removes even the most stubborn ground in dirt from the base of the carpet and also eliminates mold, bacteria, and dust mites which, if left unchecked, can produce all manner of respiratory problems. In addition, our Oriental rug cleaning system is the best one north of Denver. But Steve’s is more than just a carpet cleaning company. Far more.
