Q: What happens if you don’t put padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won&rsquo;t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a> over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.</p></div>

Q: How much does commercial carpet installation cost?

• <div><p>The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.</p></div>

Q: How long does a subfloor last?

• <div><p>A subfloor's lifespan can range from 30 years to the entire life of the house, which is often between 50 and 100 years. The actual longevity depends on the material and its protection from damage. For example, while OSB may last longer than plywood, it is not the best choice for heavy flooring like ceramic tile. The most critical factor is moisture; a subfloor that avoids water damage, mold, and termites can last for decades. However, prolonged exposure to moisture will cause it to warp, rot, or grow mold, significantly shortening its life.</p></div>

Q: How hard is it to remove old laminate flooring?

• <div><p>Removing laminate flooring is fairly straightforward compared to removing other types of flooring. The planks click and lock into place, so you can pry them loose without much fuss. If you plan to reuse your flooring, you must be careful not to damage the plank or the locking mechanism that keeps it in place. If it&rsquo;s in good condition, you can reuse it in another room.</p></div>

Q: What rooms should not have carpet?

• <div><p>Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it&rsquo;s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.</p></div>

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"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."
