I will be removing my old carpet and getting a new one. I am not sure the height of the carpet yet. But i need to finish installing door jambs and I think I'll need to leave at-least 3/8 gap for the carpet to be tucked in, correct (orange line)? Or just put door jamb all the way to the sub floor (blue line)?
What i am concerned about is the gap between the tile schluter and the carpet. As it stands, it is about 1 inch gap now between the sub floor and the schluter. If carpet is 1/2 inch in height, there would be a visible gap between them. Can carpet installer maybe build some sort of buildup to raise the carpet at the and or i will be stuck with a gap there?
Any advise welcome.

The way I addressed this issue was with a wide shim under the carpet that brought the floor height up gradually over about 12 inches I made my own but you can buy them look at this video to see how they work
