Q: Is carpet nailed or glued?

• <div><p>Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-install-carpet-on-concrete.htm">install carpet over concrete</a>, you&rsquo;ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a special floor in a wet room?

• <div><p>In a wet room, you need a floor that won&rsquo;t sustain damage with constant exposure to water, but your options are normally the same as with a bathroom. Ceramic and porcelain tile are suitable options, as are natural stone like granite and marble, much like in a standard bathroom. Since a wet room&rsquo;s floor is more likely to be wet, you should choose a flooring option with some texture to reduce how slippery the material gets.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to mop hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Yes, you can mop hardwood floors with a damp flat or string mop as long as it is not soaking wet. Always avoid leaving standing water or fully soaking your hardwood floors, even if they are properly finished. A slightly wet mop, with or without cleaning solutions, will not damage the wood.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain your carpet?

• <div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-keep-carpet-looking-new.htm">carpet maintenance tips</a> you&rsquo;ll want to use to keep your carpet looking brand-new. Make sure you tackle stains immediately, and only use cleaners gentle enough for your carpet's specific fibers. You can even pop area rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpeting to change the look of your space and protect the carpet below.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove tile flooring?

• <div><p>As with timing, the cost to remove tile flooring varies depending on a number of factors, including size and type, adhesive type, condition of the tile and adhesive, and the method used to remove it. If you&rsquo;re doing it yourself, you can expect the job to cost only the price of any tools, materials, or equipment that you don&rsquo;t already have. If you&rsquo;re hiring a professional, expect to pay between <b>$2 and $7 per square foot</b> for labor costs, along with added fees for materials.</p></div>

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."

"No high pressure sales. I was able to take my time picking the floor I wanted. Unlike one of the other in home flooring companies. When I changed my mind on what I wanted it was no problem getting new samples. The installers were professional and did a great job. I had one small issue that was quickly addressed and fixed in a very timely manner. I would recommend them and use them again when I am ready to replace my carpet"
