Floor and carpet cleaning in Middle River, MD.

Middle River wraps around its namesake river and Martin State Airport, from the wartime homes of Aero Acres to waterfront houses in Bowleys Quarters and newer townhouse communities. It has a large share of townhouses and plenty of homes built since 2000. Census estimates for 21220 count about 18,000 homes with a median build year of 1982. 47% are detached houses, 29% are townhouses or rowhomes and 17% are apartments or condos, and 69% are owner-occupied. 29% of Middle River homes are townhouses or rowhomes, so a carpeted staircase is part of most jobs; each flight up to 15 steps is $65. 28% of homes are from 2000 or later, where builder-grade carpet shows traffic lanes within a few years.

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 $275 minimum for Middle River reflects the drive. Three rooms, a staircase and a hallway come to $295, or two rooms and a sofa to $280.

Middle River has water on three sides, and humidity is the constant. Carpet and upholstery take longer to dry in summer, so running the AC or a dehumidifier after cleaning matters here more than inland. Aero Acres and other wartime neighborhoods have small homes with original wood floors, while newer townhouse communities have carpeted stairs and vinyl plank on the main level. Sand and grit come in from boats, decks and beaches, and they wear carpet like sandpaper, so vacuum often between cleanings. Waterfront streets can be tight, so tell us where to park.
