Privacy and your information
We keep this simple: PlankPath is a free matching service, and we only ask for the contact and flooring project details needed to connect you with local contractors.
What PlankPath is — and what we collect
PlankPath is a free matching service. We are not a flooring contractor, installer, or store, and we do not perform flooring work or sell materials.
When you contact us, we collect basic contact and project-intent details only: your name, phone number, optional email, project type, material you are interested in, ZIP code, approximate square footage, and preferred language. We use that information to help connect you with licensed, insured flooring contractors near you.
We do not ask for financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, income details, or sensitive personal records. If anyone claims to be PlankPath and asks for that kind of information, do not share it.
How your information is used
We use the details you share to understand your flooring project and help match you with participating contractors in your area. For example, your ZIP code, room type, and approximate square footage help a contractor understand whether the project is a fit before they contact you.
Your contact information is used so a contractor can reach you about your request, ask a few follow-up questions, and provide a written quote if you want one. The service is always free for the homeowner.
We may also use your information to respond if you reach out through our contact page.
What we do not do
We do not need bank details, credit card numbers, tax records, immigration records, medical records, or other sensitive documents to match you with flooring contractors. Please do not send them to us.
We also do not promise a price, timeline, or specific contractor. Flooring costs vary by material, subfloor condition, room size, region, and the size of the job. As a general example, installed flooring can range from about $3 to $20+ per square foot depending on the product and work involved, but those are ranges only — not quotes.
If you want more general information about how to use this site, see our disclaimer.
Who may receive your project details
To help with your request, we may share your contact and project details with participating flooring contractors who serve your area. That is the point of the service: helping you compare your options without paying for the match.
You stay in control. You can compare quotes in writing, ask questions, and choose who to hire. Before signing anything, confirm the contractor is licensed and insured where required in your area.
Because PlankPath is not the company doing the flooring work, the contractor you choose should explain their own schedule, materials, warranty terms, and payment terms directly to you.
How to protect yourself when talking to contractors
Sharing your project details should help you get better information, not pressure. A good contractor should be willing to explain the material, the scope of work, and the price in writing.
Watch for common red flags:
- vague pricing
- very large upfront cash deposits
- cash-only demands
- no license or insurance when required
- pressure to sign right away
- skipping subfloor prep or inspection
Before you hire anyone, compare more than one written quote. Make sure the material, installation method, subfloor work, trim, removal of old flooring, and cleanup are all clearly listed.
Common questions
What information do I need to give PlankPath?
Just basic contact and project details: name, phone, optional email, project type, material interest, ZIP code, approximate square footage, and preferred language. That helps us match you with local flooring contractors.
Does PlankPath ask for bank account numbers or Social Security numbers?
No. We do not ask for financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, income information, or sensitive personal records.
Will I get a guaranteed price after I share my information?
No. We can help you connect with contractors, but real pricing depends on the material, subfloor, room, region, and job size. Cost ranges are general information, not quotes.
Who will contact me after I submit my project?
Participating flooring contractors in your area may contact you about your request. You can compare quotes, ask questions, and choose who to hire.
Is PlankPath the company that installs my floor?
No. PlankPath is a free matching service, not a flooring contractor, installer, or store. The contractor you hire is the one who would perform the work.
What should I check before hiring a flooring contractor?
Ask for the scope, material, and price in writing, and verify the contractor is licensed and insured where required. It is smart to compare more than one quote before you decide.
