About Us
In the heart of Kansas City, every carpet has witnessed life’s struggles and triumphs. Our journey began in 1966 with Duane & Nancy Crites, A determined man who, despite scarce resources and harsh economic realities, set out to restore not only carpets but the soul of every home. Facing scorching summers, relentless dust, and long nights when hope was hard to find, Duane persevered, learning that every stubborn stain symbolized a challenge waiting to be overcome.
That legacy lives on through his son Jeff Crites, his compassionate wife Kathy, and their devoted son Jeffrey. Our family has faced personal hardships, sleepless nights, moments of deep uncertainty. Yet every setback fueled our commitment to bring renewal and warmth to Kansas City homes.
