My son is now experiencing an easier life made possible by ChoreRelief after all hope had been almost lost. Having a kid with asthma can be truly scary. Our 5-year- old son would cough and have trouble breathing when he exercised. Before his condition improved, I even worried about him every time he went to swimming practice. I had to learn the hard way that a child with asthma not only has to battle things like cold symptoms but also the additional asthma symptoms of a cough, shortness of breath, and wheezing Approximately one in ten kids have asthma, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
So, it was a relief to learn from an Allergist Doctor that there are things that you can do to help control this seemingly out-of-control condition. She told us that we needed to know the triggers. She ran an allergy test and the information we got was invaluable. His biggest trigger was allergens. It turns out that carpet is a magnet for allergens like dust mites, pet dander, mold spores and other potentially aggravating proteins. And children spend a lot of their time closer to the ground than we do!
Anyway, the doctor strongly recommended that we replace the carpet in our house since carpet holds 100 times more dust and allergens than hard surface floors. That’s where we ran into the problem that only ChoreRelief could fix. Replacing your carpet with hardwood can be quite expensive. The labor costs alone can easily run you $10 000. We couldn’t afford that much, and we called many different companies for quotes. Meanwhile, our son kept getting worse.
Luckily, my husband saw one of ChoreRelief’s posts on Instagram. It explained that you could name your own price for a job. ChoreRelief is the only contractor app we have found that has this cool feature, so we jumped at the opportunity, downloaded the app, posted our job in very specific terms (what we needed done, the number of rooms, the square feet, time-frame, etc.), and listed our budget. To our great delight, a local provider accepted our job and, since ChoreRelief vets all the providers on their platform, we knew that he was a highly qualified guy!
Suffice to say, the job was completed successfully and, as a bonus gift, was done in time for Christmas! *See pictures below. * Now that our dear son isn’t exposed to as many, if any, allergens at home, his overall condition has improved greatly. He is able to play with his trains on the floor, participate in school activities, and enjoy the great outdoors like any typical child.
We would love to express our deepest appreciation for ChoreRelief and we tell everyone about how the app works. We can’t over-state how much it has been an easier life made possible for him by just removing the carpets. We have since used the app for a lot of other handiwork we needed in the house such as plumbing, landscaping, and cleaning. And this winter we have been regularly hiring a provider through the app to clear our driveway after the many snow storms. So, check ChoreRelief out for yourselves! I hope it brings you as much joy as it did us.
