Baseboard error or carpet install error?
Doing a flip and had carpet installed. They said to do baseboard first. There were existing tack strips, kinda sloppy but I figured I’d mostly leave them and they can decide what they want to take out/redo. Took out a few that would’ve been way under the baseboard. Set the baseboard 1/8” above tack strips (not counting nails), so 3/8” off the subfloor. It is thin carpet so maybe I should’ve gone a little lower?
The install was bundled through Home Depot carpet purchase, so I wasn’t looking for anything beautiful, it was pretty cheap. But even still some of these defects are super visible. Would I be justified to take issue with this?
Picture #1 they just carved out a big chunk of the baseboard. In 3 it seems the tack strip might be too far out? Either way huge valley. 5/6 I can see being my fault for trying to match that tile height, maybe you have to contour the baseboard there. 7/8 are what I’d call acceptable errors. But those are all over so they start to add up
