English term or phrase: it's done all right by us
Un anziano signore dice alla moglie che vuole buttar via il tappeto di casa:

"don't know why you have to go rip out perfectly good carpet when it’s done all right by us for the past thirty years.”
La mia proposta:

"non so perché devi andare a strappare un tappeto assolutamente buono quando ci è stato bene per trent'anni.”

Cerco soluzioni più appropriate. Grazie!
