Two guys made quick work out of the 8 window installation we agreed to. We had to close the room whenever there was hot, cold or stormy weather. We are going to now keep the room open year round. Thank you Mad City!

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"I didn't want to do the Rustoleum kit, after reading negative reviews. There are higher quality flooring materials available online, and so I used these to comare to MFC. MFC's quote came in at $400 more than if I did it myself. Obviously, my first project wouldn't turn out as well as theirs did. Every step was clearly explained, and performed on time (or delayed if necessary to do a better job). They even brought a trailer to store everything I had in my garage. A great group of guys with whom to work. Reasonable pricing, and great quality. I smile every time I open my garage door."
