Lowes came out and pulled up all the carpet and replaced. It looks 100% better. total of two seams, both which are not visible. Also, all the transitions look really good as well, the metal is not dented at all. Very very happy with the install.

Lowes just came over with a carpet tech. I have to say I've been really pleased with there customer service and fast response. They agreed to replace it and to do 45' run. In that sense, I'm really happy about it because the 45' run is what I wanted in the first place.

I fixed the woodwork. They dodged a bullet there. My wife did discuss the carpet layout with the estimator and provided him a drawing that I mocked up (see picture). We bought 15' goods. Our room is a long L. I had recommend for 45' run and 15'x15' run. The estimator told my wife that...

I forgot to mention there is an exposed tack on the transition to the bathroom. Also, it appears a hammer was used on metal transition around our slider landing, it's dented all over. Is that normal? Granted, I want to make sure I'm not being picky, I'm a perfectionist. But the quality...

More pictures. Notice the square patch in the corner. It was also seamed with another 2' x 10' remnant....

Can anyone give me a ranking from 1-10. 10 being fab, 1 complete horse pucky. I think I got a horrendous install. Also, I'm of the opinion that the carpet will have to be completely replaced since the did a horrible job on the seams. I don't think it can be retaped without carpet threads...

Daris, it's a plush style carpet, probably at least 1/2" pile, the pad will be 7/16 to 1/2. So I should be good right? Do you think I will need carpet shims still?

Attached are the pictures. I pulled back the casing and glued the jam cut-off. I had saved the cut-off from the jam originally. I ended up cutting both ends and glue with CA. I tried to use caulk but I struggled to get a good color match and gave up. So, the gap height from the floor to...

Ernesto, can you explain to me in layman terms how the shims would affect the gap or solve it or maybe neither? I understand the shims ramp up to the transition. I never knew such a thing existed and or how it would work in my situation. Thanks, Ike

Thanks! I will look at colorite. You are 100% nobody will care as much as I do. I feel that work I do is reflection of me and I want people to know that I do a good job.

Good point! I did not know that!

The concrete floor was already level. I checked it myself. There is a mat for heating it (warm wire), I put it down. I did a good job, the wire was flat on the surface and hot-glued if needed. Floor was etched too, I did that myself too. He said he didn't feel comfortable applying morter...

Thanks for the reply. Is there a particular brand you prefer? How far do I need to fill the gap? Assuming the carpet is 1/2" and the pad is a 1/2" and the tuck under gap of the transition is 3/8"?

Anyone have any ideas?

I need some help fixing a transition gap between the door way jams and the transition itself. See pictures. How did I get to this point: So here goes my whole dilema. I paid for a gentleman to pour self leveling cement and lay down some tile on a heated floor. I did pay the standard...
