Hardwood-installation room, product and edge-decision workbook
Choosing a wood-floor appearance is only one part of explaining a flooring project. A proposal also needs to make clear which rooms and boundaries it covers. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai connects each room to a sample or product reference and to doorway, stair or trim questions for the flooring professional. It keeps your preferences separate from the provider's assessed specification and proposed work.

Preparation only, not product selection, measurement, inspection, installation, acclimation, moisture assessment, substrate diagnosis, safety, code, warranty or legal advice. A sample preference is not a suitability finding or work authorization. Do not remove flooring, move obstructions or test conditions to complete this pack. Keep addresses and private access details out.

How to use this resource
Use Room A and Room B for work areas, S1 for a sample reference, and E1 or E2 for a boundary. For example, connect Room A and S1 to E1, a doorway adjoining a surface you hope to retain. Ask the provider to describe the proposed treatment and whether it is included. If a different product is proposed, carry the same room and edge labels into that discussion and ask which written references need updating. Leave unknown conditions, dimensions and technical decisions for professional assessment.
Open the PDF in a form-capable viewer, save a copy, then fill it in. Reopen your saved copy to check your answers. You can also print the blank pages and write by hand. Your answers are not submitted to PickYourPro.ai.
MAP FLOOR EDGES AND CHANGED CHOICES
Use existing observations only. An edge is a discussion label, not an instruction for how to finish the floor.
CHECK THE COMMON FLOORING BRIEF
Tick what is ready to discuss. Checks do not confirm suitability, site condition or installation readiness.
QUESTIONS FOR THE FLOORING PRO
Ask how the provider will connect your selection and boundary questions to a written scope.
COMPARE THE SAME FLOORING LIST
Use A and B in each box. A shared product name does not show whether the same floor edges are covered.

Flooring Installation preparation checklist
- Give each room a short label and note the desired appearance without selecting an installation method.
- Link each room to a sample or product reference; mark preferences separately from provider-confirmed specifications.
- Assign an edge label to each doorway, stair or trim question and note the adjoining surface you want to retain.
- Ask the provider to connect each edge label to proposed included work, exclusions and unresolved decisions.
- Keep removal and concealed-condition questions open for provider assessment rather than recording your own diagnosis.
- For a proposed product substitution, identify every affected room and edge label before comparing the changed scope.
- Ask which proposal, product and care-information references will be updated after a selection changes.
- Compare providers using the same room/product/edge list and clarify differences in responsibility and written terms.
Questions for the flooring professional
- How will you distinguish my preferred sample from the exact product and specification you propose after assessment?
- How will your proposal identify the treatment and exclusions for each doorway, stair or trim boundary on my list?
- What can you assess before removal, what remains unknown, and how will additional work be discussed?
- If a product changes, which room, edge, ordering and handover references will you revisit with me?
- Who handles the agreed removal, furniture coordination, adjacent work and completion records, and what is separate?
- How will selection decisions, changes, timing, payment terms, care information and outstanding questions be recorded?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
