Did you know that Theodore Roosevelt once gave a speech from the city of Gladstone, OR? Located in Clackamas County, Gladstone has a deep historical past that is documented upon the pages of history; many historical homes and buildings still standing to this day. However, the awkward architecture, of days gone by, often pose as a difficulty for the professional service company. Narrow hallways, Steep stairways and outdated electrical & plumbing is the hallmark of these old structures. However, things of the past do tend to be of a much higher quality than they are today. Take carpeting and upholstery for example. 40-year-old nylon carpet generally cleans more beautifully and is in better structural condition than all the cheap polyester fibers available at the local Home Depot store. Why are the home-builders of today installing inexpensive wall to wall carpeting when the expected life span is maybe five years? Does purchasing low-grade trash at a reduced price make it more affordable to the consumer?
