Q: Why do you leave a gap when laying laminate flooring?

• <div><p>When you install laminate flooring, you have to install spacers (also called expansion gaps) along the edges. This space along the edges gives the flooring the room it needs to naturally expand and contract. When you don't have an expansion gap, you can end up with damaged or warped planks. This can lead to uneven flooring, which is unsightly and can cause a trip hazard.</p></div>

Q: Do termites eat bamboo flooring?

• <div><p>No, termites don&rsquo;t eat bamboo flooring like they do hardwood flooring. That&rsquo;s because bamboo is a hardy grass that is naturally resistant to many pests, including termites. If you&rsquo;re concerned about termites or other pests that could damage your floors, you can achieve a look similar to hardwood without the stress of pests by installing bamboo flooring. </p></div>

Q: How do I fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard?

• <div><p>If you also need to know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fill-gap-between-floor-baseboard.htm">how to fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard</a>, it's best to use a flexible, paintable latex caulk. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Then, apply a smooth bead of caulk along the gap using a caulking gun, and use a caulk-smoothing tool to press and smooth it into place. If the gap is large, you may need to insert backer rod, such as a foam filler, before caulking. Once dry, paint the caulk to match the baseboard for a clean, seamless look.</p></div>

Q: How do you protect hardwood floors in the kitchen?

• <div><p>Protect hardwood floors in the kitchen by refinishing your floors every five to seven years or having them evaluated by a local specialist. Place mats around common food prep areas like the counter and island and keep up with treating water or grease stains as soon as they occur. Hardwood floors add a classic, rustic element of style to kitchens, but it does make them more susceptible to water damage and grease stains. </p></div>

Q: Why are my laminate floors still dirty after mopping?

• <div><p>Using too much soap or floor cleaner can leave your laminate floors looking dirty or cloudy after mopping. Only use a teaspoon of soap or cleaning solution in a gallon of water. Additionally, always be sure to sweep or vacuum laminate floors before mopping to ensure you pick up dried grit, hair, and dust that can be harder to catch with a wet mop.</p></div>

Justin Morris of ROC Construction was very knowledgable, nice and considerate. He did an excellent job not just installing the driveway but also keeping us informed about when he'd be coming by. Both my husband and I are very satisfied with the work done.

"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."
