Floor and carpet cleaning in Dundalk, MD.

Dundalk grew up around the Sparrows Point steel mill, and the housing shows it, from the World War I era cottages of historic Dundalk Village to post-war brick rows. Census estimates for 21222 count about 24,000 homes with a median build year of 1955. 39% are detached houses, 43% are townhouses or rowhomes and 16% are apartments or condos, and 65% are owner-occupied. 43% of Dundalk homes are townhouses or rowhomes, so a carpeted staircase is part of most jobs; each flight up to 15 steps is $65. 78% of homes in 21222 were built before 1970, and carpet in older homes often sits on padding that has broken down; we check it before promising results.

Rich Tobin, Eco-Dry's owner, is IICRC certified, and the company is fully insured. Appointments may be handled by Rich or an Eco-Dry technician. The $300 minimum for Dundalk reflects a drive of more than 30 miles. Four rooms and a staircase come to $325, or two rooms and a sectional to $405.

Dundalk was built as a planned community for Sparrows Point steelworkers, and its rowhomes, cottages and post-war brick houses have smaller rooms and narrow stairs. Per-room pricing works in your favor here, since rowhome rooms are often under 200 sq ft. Because the drive is just over 30 miles, the visit minimum is our highest, and four rooms and a staircase clear it. Street parking is the norm, so tell us the best spot and which door is closer to the stairs. Original oak floors are common under carpet in older homes, and original bathroom tile brightens a lot with a grout cleaning. Rowhome blocks usually mean street parking. Tell us the best spot and whether the front or back door is closer to the stairs.
