Hi guys,
Hope you can help me out on this.
The carpet guys asked me to install the baseboards all the way down to the sub floor. I know on most new construction this is the way it is done, but isn't it better to leave a gap to allow for the carpet to be tucked in under it?
I asked him if he was sure that i should install the base boards down to the subfloor and he kept saying yes, even when i asked him isn't it a better finish to have the carpet tucked under...
Is it easier one way or the other for the carpet installer, and is he just trying to get out of doing more work?
