Do you use quarter round with carpet.

I have one wood floor installer who insists on using quarter round plus the baseboard for my floor installation whereas my contractor and another floor installer say it s not necessary. Some like it without it and that is fine also if you can get away without it but for some reason it always looks like something is missing.

I take it off. Unfortunately i do need quarter rounds some areas of the walls are pulling away from the floor too drastically for the carpet to cover and the layers of paint build up are very noticeable without them. Some put the base molding down first then carpet others put the carpet down then base molding and sometimes base shoe but i find it a bit unsightly.
