Q: Do transition pieces go under the baseboard?

• <div><p>Whether or not transition pieces go under the baseboard depends on a few different factors. If the transitions are being installed with the flooring and before the baseboards, then they will go under the baseboards. If the baseboards are already installed, then it depends on whether or not you want to remove them or undercut them. If not, the transition pieces can butt up against the baseboard.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if carpet is good quality?

• <div><p>You can tell a carpet is good quality if it&rsquo;s made of a soft, durable material and has a good face weight and density. When comparing two similar carpets, the higher the face weight, the more durable the carpet tends to be. The same goes for carpet density. A higher density of two similar carpets often indicates better quality. The ideal carpet face weight and density values depend on the carpet material and type. </p></div>

Q: What is the process for installing carpet in a home?

• <div><p>Carpet installation typically starts with removing the old flooring, preparing the subfloor, laying underpadding for cushioning, and securing the new carpet with tack strips, making precise cuts to fit room dimensions.</p></div>

"Dan's team took on a large basement renovation for me. They were able to start very quickly and made progress fast. Dan is very knowledgable when it comes to plumbing matters so that was very helpful. The bulk of the project wrapped up quickly but we had a few follow-ups that took a while to complete due to supply delays and weather/scheduling delays. My only issue is sometimes Dan was hard to nail down regarding his schedule but ultimately we got everything finished! A few small things needed to be adjusted but his team was quick to handle it. We are happy with the final result!"

"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."
