Q: What flooring materials do floor transitions work best with?

• <div><p>Door transitions can work with virtually any flooring type; however, different transition strips lend themselves better to specific flooring types. For instance, if you are bridging the gap between a taller floor, like carpet, to a shorter floor, like hardwood, then you will want a transition strip with a slight slope to bridge the height difference. These transition strips are called reducer molding. On the other hand, if you are bridging two floors of the same height, you can use flat transition strips, such as T-strips and seam binders.</p></div>

Q: Can I recycle my carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, you can recycle most types of carpet. If you hire a pro to remove your old carpet, ask about their <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-carpet.htm">carpet disposal</a> process. Many companies will recycle the carpeting, but if yours doesn&rsquo;t, you can ask them to take it to a recycling center for you (although there might be an additional fee). Alternatively, you can hire a junk hauling service or contact a carpet recycling organization (like CARE).</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>

Q: How often should you strip and wax a floor?

• <div><p>You should strip and wax hardwood floors every six months to two years. The actual length of time between stripping and waxing depends on the wear and tear that the floors see. Stripping and waxing floors can help <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-hardwood-floor-damage.htm">repair hardwood floor damage</a> and give the room a fresh look.</p></div>

Q: Do you install flooring before cabinets?

• <div><p>Whether you install flooring before or after kitchen cabinets depends primarily on the type of flooring you are using. For materials like hardwood, tile, and sheet flooring, the best practice is to install the flooring first. This ensures the cabinets are installed at the correct height and on a stable surface. However, you should not install cabinets on top of floating floors, such as laminate or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These types of flooring need room to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes. Placing heavy cabinets on top can restrict this movement, potentially causing the floor to buckle and making the cabinets unstable. For floating floors, install the cabinets first and then lay the flooring up to them. Other reasons to consider installing cabinets before the flooring include saving money on materials (since you won't need flooring under the cabinets) and avoiding potential damage to your new floor during cabinet installation. Additionally, installing cabinets directly on the subfloor might prevent voiding your flooring's warranty.</p></div>

"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."
