Q: Should a home builder or contractor be licensed and insured?

• <div><p>Yes, a home builder or contractor should have the proper licensing and insurance. Licensing requirements vary by state and municipality, but most states mandate that a builder holds at least a general contractor&rsquo;s license.

You can use Angi&rsquo;s state licensing tool to review your local guidelines and confirm a builder's credentials. As you browse professionals, you can also look for the &ldquo;Angi Certified&rdquo; badge.

"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."

"They were very professional and courteous.

They notified me of any abnormalities that arose that needed my attention.

While installing they noticed that not all of my doors matched so I had to head back to the store.

They were great with quality control and asked me to open & shut the first installed door to see how easily it skimmed the carpet.

Thus making adjustments to my liking. They left the work area nice an clean too.

"I actually used Lowe's in Christiansburg for some remodeling and home work and it was this company who did the actual construction. No complaints all around, both Lowe's and ACM were very nice, professional and timely. The work was completed yesterday and the house looks just like it did before the workers got there. I had a LOT of painting and remodeling done by a previous company who really trashed the house, floors and kitchen countertops so this was a very nice change. The work that ACM did looks great and everything is working just fine."
