How to reach PlankPath
PlankPath is a free matching service that helps homeowners and renters connect with licensed, insured flooring contractors near them. We are not a flooring contractor, installer, or flooring store, so we do not perform flooring work or sell materials.
If you have questions about how the service works, what flooring materials to compare, or what information to include before requesting quotes, contact us and we will do our best to point you in the right direction. For a quick overview of who we are, visit About.
Ready to start a flooring project?
The fastest way to get help is to submit your project through Get matched. That lets us understand what kind of flooring project you are planning and helps us match you with contractors who serve your area.
We only ask for basic contact and project details: your name, phone number, optional email, project type, material you are considering, ZIP code, approximate square footage, and preferred language. We do not ask for bank account numbers, Social Security numbers, income details, or other sensitive personal records.
What PlankPath can and cannot do
We can share general information to help you compare flooring options like hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, luxury vinyl plank, tile, and carpet. If you are still deciding, our materials guide is a good place to start.
We cannot inspect your home, diagnose subfloor problems, give construction or legal advice, or guarantee a price, timeline, or outcome. Final recommendations, measurements, moisture testing, and installation details should come from licensed flooring contractors and should follow local codes and manufacturer requirements.
Questions about pricing or quotes
Many homeowners contact us because they want a fair price and do not want to be overcharged. That concern is reasonable. Installed flooring prices often vary a lot based on the material, the subfloor, room size, layout, demolition needs, trim work, stairs, moisture issues, and your region.
As a very general example, many installed flooring projects fall somewhere around $3 to $15+ per square foot, with some materials and more complex jobs landing above that. These are only broad ranges, not quotes. The best protection is to compare more than one written quote and make sure the material, scope of work, and cleanup are clearly listed.
How to avoid a bad flooring experience
Whether you found a contractor through PlankPath or elsewhere, stay in control of the job. Ask for the full scope in writing, verify that the contractor is licensed and insured where required, and compare details — not just the bottom-line number.
Watch for common red flags:
- vague pricing
- huge upfront cash deposits
- cash-only requests
- no license or no proof of insurance
- pressure to sign on the spot
- skipping subfloor prep or moisture checks
A careful contractor should be willing to explain the material, the installation method, what happens if the subfloor needs work, and when final payment is due. Confirm the work is done right before paying the final amount.
Common questions
Is PlankPath a flooring contractor?
No. PlankPath is a free matching service, not a flooring contractor, installer, or flooring store. We help connect homeowners and renters with licensed, insured flooring contractors near them.
How much does PlankPath cost me?
The service is free for the homeowner. If you choose to request matching, you can compare quotes in writing and decide who to hire.
What information do I need to submit a project?
Usually just basic contact and project details: your name, phone, optional email, project type, material of interest, ZIP code, approximate square footage, and preferred language. That helps us understand your project without asking for sensitive financial or personal records.
Can you tell me exactly what my new floor will cost?
No. Exact pricing depends on the material, subfloor condition, room type, region, and job size. Any cost ranges on our site are general information only, not quotes.
What if I am not sure which flooring material I want?
That is common. You can browse [materials](/materials/) to compare the look, feel, durability, and typical cost range of different floors before requesting matching.
