我應該先看哪一份地板指南？
如果你還在猶豫要選哪種材質，先從地板選擇指南開始。若你已經知道你想要的地板類型，且主要在意預算，就先從費用相關頁面開始。
PlankPath 能告訴我，我的地板專案會精確花多少嗎？
不行。我們可以提供一般的價格區間，但你的實際安裝價格會取決於材料、底層地面狀況、房間、所在區域，以及工程規模。要比較最準確，最佳方式是取得由「持牌、投保」地板承包商提供的書面報價。
PlankPath 是地板安裝者嗎？
不是。PlankPath 是免費配對服務，不是地板承包商、安裝者或門市。我們提供一般資訊，並協助把屋主連結到在地的地板承包商。
要取得配對，我需要提供什麼資訊？
只需要基本聯絡與專案意向資訊：你的姓名、電話（可選 email）、專案類型、感興趣的材料、ZIP code、大約的平方英尺數，以及偏好的語言。
我怎麼知道地板報價是不是可疑？
留意含糊的價格、大額的先付現金要求、只收現金的付款方式、缺少執照或保險資訊、要求你立刻簽約的施壓，或完全沒提到底層地面準備。你在同意任何事情之前，請確保工作範圍（scope）、材料與價格都有寫在文件上。
規劃地板專案？
先比較材料與實在費用。接著與你附近的具執照地板承包商免費配對。你比較報價並選擇要找誰——並在任何施工開始前以書面確認所有內容。
