Steam cleaning and painting are the best advice.

Steam cleaning won't always work especially if the smell has hit the padding.Like I previously said repainting and replacing carpets and you'll definitely be fine.For most houses; carpets can range from $2500-5000 and paint maybe a few 100 unless you get a professional then maybe $1000 for a 1800-2500 sq ft average home. |

I thinik your price on painting is off, but I haven't hired it out before.
I've spent over $500 in materials on painting my smallish house

You can usually paint a room or 2 with one can of paint and paint ranges from anywhere between $10-40 a can.Even if you're painting 4 bedrooms, 2 baths,LR,DR,Kitchen,Halls--thats about maybe the equivalency of 10-12 rooms (5-6 cans/$240+ primer if needed).When my neighbor did his house 3 years ago it was $1050 exactly and his layout was the same as mine as stated above but I have a 3rd bathroom.Call around,you'll get your price. |

I had the same problem when I looked at a house in Valley Stream. I couldn't get pass the smell so I took it off my list. I agree the posts above...lots of fresh air and paint...get rid of the carpet..
Congrats on the home!!!!
