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 longest-lasting flooring for a kitchen?

• <div><p>Porcelain and ceramic tile are two of the longest-lasting kitchen flooring materials. However, while these materials can withstand a good amount of daily wear and tear, they&rsquo;re likely to crack if you drop something heavy on them, and they&rsquo;re pricier than many other options. On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-buy-and-install-ceramic-tile.htm">installing a ceramic tile kitchen floor costs</a> between $1,240 and $11,250. Other durable kitchen flooring options include natural stone and concrete.</p></div>

Q: Is there a 100% waterproof flooring?

• <div><p>Honestly, very few things in life are 100% anything&mdash;and that rule stands when it comes to waterproof flooring, too. Options like porcelain or ceramic tile are a lot closer to 100% waterproof than tiles and planks that have a fiberboard backing, like waterproof laminate or cork flooring. In all cases, it&rsquo;s a good idea to wipe up wet spills as quickly as you can after they happen in order to avoid water damage.</p></div>

Q: Will installing carpet over carpet affect the warranty of the new carpet?

• <div><p>Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to install underlayment for laminate flooring?

• <div><p>Yes, installing underlayment underneath the laminate flooring is necessary. The underlayment has many benefits like preventing water damage to your subfloors, insulating the floor for sound, and providing an even surface for the planks to sit on.</p><p>When you skip the underlayment, you can end up with serious issues, including water damage to your subfloors, noisy planks, and an uneven floor.</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."
