"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."

"We had long-overdue kitchen remodeling project in our list, and when finally we were ready to do it, we contacted five different contractors. All of them had 5/5 rating on different websites with fair amount of feedback count in total, so we interviewed each of them. Among all five of them, Pasha from DIY Kitchens and baths was the one of only two contractors who actually measured every single inch of our existing kitchen. Further, Pasha was the only person who actually noted all details of floor plan we have in our mind, and also gave us feedback and his own idea. Other three contractors were immediately dropped from our list - as I don't want receiving ballpark numbers, and other remaining contractor was also dropped from our list as he wasn't detail oriented as Pasha was. There are couple of things what made DIY Kitchens superior compared to other contractors I worked with in the past 1) Pasha and Tony (project manager) were always reachable. They always reply my calls, texts and emails in timely manner. This was really important to me especially, as I'm busy for my work during daytime, so getting prompt reply was a huge thing to us. 2) Pasha always kept us updated about projected timeline and overall progress. He was always transparent with what was going on with delivery, electric work, inspection, why certain things are delayed, etc. He is extremely organized. Everything is noted, planned at his side, and so is in our contract. 3) Pricing was very fair. His service wasn't cheap but wasn't overpriced either. To us it was very fair pricing, as service we received from him and Diy Kitchens and Baths and final result they delivered to us exceeded our expectation by far. 4) All his workers have top-notch craftsmanship. They were courteous, and most importantly they were on time, always. If Pasha said workers will be in my home by 9:00 AM, they show up at 9:00 AM. No delay, no excuses. All his plumbing, electrical, kitchen cabinet crews and a designer were professionals. 5) Pasha is a good problem solver. We were challenged by couple of underlying hidden problems with our kitchen after demolition, and as our project made progress. He always found some creative way to resolve an issue at very fair cost or at no additional cost. 6) Unlike some other contractors, who will try avoiding responsibility for things that went wrong (could happen in any project obviously, happened here and there previously in my other projects, and some small things went not as planned in this kitchen remodeling as well), Pasha was very accountable and fully responsible for things went not as planned. 7) Most importantly, our remodeled kitchen has beautiful finishes and I am extremely happy with what Pasha and his company did. (see pictures) I would especially like to thank you Tony the project manager that has been with us and make sure we happy with any small detail. The trust he built with us through our kitchen remodeling project gave us enough confidence that he will be a our go-to-contractor for our next remodeling project!"

"Everything looks absolutely gorgeous! Finishing work had great attention to detail. Plumbing was corrected to make our chosen bathroom fixtures work for the space. Drywall, paint, ceilings, floors, new french door to outside, new siding and paint outside, new covered porch, all done with professional timing and attitude. They worked with us and gave helpful suggestions and even fit in extra projects along the way. Would definitely hire them again!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

After carpet removal, prepare for new flooring by assessing the subfloor. You will want to address any imperfections to create a smooth and level base for installation. Remember, proper subfloor preparation is crucial for optimal new flooring results. Consider repairing and replacing damaged areas for a stable foundation. For both wood and concrete subfloors, consider sanding to remove any debris or adhesives remaining thoroughly. 

The best flooring for radiant heat systems is tile, including porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone. These materials are excellent heat conductors, retain warmth well, and are waterproof, which prevents mold or rot in case of leaks from a hydronic system. Unlike wood, they do not pose a fire safety risk if the heating system overheats. Ceramic tile is a particularly popular choice as it is inexpensive, easy to install, and available in many styles, making it ideal for spaces like bathrooms. Other flooring types that work well with radiant heat include laminate, engineered wood, and vinyl. If you are installing radiant heating over a concrete slab, especially in a basement, it is advisable to install a vapor barrier first to prevent issues with moisture and condensation.

Linoleum flooring lasts about 20 to 40 years. While it is durable, it does wear out from foot traffic and even the weight of furniture over time. It can also become faded or discolored from sunlight streaming in through the windows.

Bamboo floors are fairly low-maintenance. You’ll need to sweep or vacuum them regularly to remove debris and rub off scuffs quickly to prevent permanent damage. Bamboo is vulnerable to moisture, so wipe up spills immediately to prevent permanent damage. When comparing bamboo flooring vs. hardwood, you’ll notice that the maintenance requirements are similar for both types of flooring.
