Getting ready to have carpet installed and I want to know the proper
height to install the baseboard from the floor (Short shag or berber).
I have seen this question posted before, but I don't believe a
definitive answer was given.

The best advice the other articles gave was to ask the carpet
installer. We had the sales guy here the other day to measure up the
floor space, and I ask what height he would recommend. But he really
didn't have an answer. He pointed to the wallboard that I left up 1/2"
from the floor and stated that that would be plenty.

I thought that the industry would have a standard ?

Thanks
Best method is to install it after the carpet, and do whatever looks
right, IMHO. If you are afraid of paint on the carpet, 1/2" will work.
If there is a visible gap, you can always add shoe mold.
