So this is a staircase I did in Fauntleroy. These stairs were all bullnose stairs with the left side of the carpet folded over in order to have a nice carpet transition with the stair case. Folding over the edge of the carpet makes for a very nice clean look along the railing versus having a cut and exposed edge of the carpet showing. In addition to folding the side of the carpet I had to cut the wood stair T- moldings along the side of each bullnose lip by the railing. By doing so I was able to put the mitered corner of the wood T-moldings back together and maintain the wood to carpet look along the side of each stair by the railings. The bottom arch stair really enhanced the look once the carpet was installed.

This is a one bedroom condo I did in Wallingford. The pictures are of the living room and bedroom with steps in between.

This is a 900 square foot job of laminate flooring. This particular laminate is made by "mohawk". In the first photo you can see the pad we install underneath the laminate. In the following pictures you can see my attention to detail around all the door jams, corners, hall and around the fireplace. This job had several door jams, closets, and transitions. The last photo shows my transition work in a closet and up to tile in the dining room.
Here are two different bathrooms I did in the same home with marmoleum. The first two pictures show the process with floor prep. In the first picture the subfloor is floated with webcrete. This is called a "skim coat", and is done to fill in the seams, nail/screw/staple holes. After is dries, about 25 minuets, the marmoleum can be installed over the top. Both of these bathrooms had the marmoleum installed right up to the hardwood/door transitions.
