What the measurement solves
Measure the rooms. Plan the whole project.
Start with the spaces you want to update, then turn the measurements into a complete material and installation plan. Use these steps to work through the details with your warehouse and independent installer, from the first request to the final walkthrough.

Start with the rooms you want to update
Decide which rooms, hallways and closets will receive new flooring, and note any areas you are leaving alone. Tell us about stairs, occupied rooms or other details that could affect the visit. Submit the request above so your selected warehouse can help arrange the next step.
Measure every space and connection
Have each room measured individually, including closets, alcoves and connected hallways. Record doorways, changes in floor height and the direction you would like the planks to run. A room-by-room plan is more useful than the square footage listed for the whole house.
Choose your floor and calculate the boxes
Compare samples, product specifications and the selected floor’s coverage per box. Have your installer plan the layout and allowance for cuts, then round the order up to whole boxes. Diagonal layouts, small spaces and unusual room shapes can change the allowance; the example below illustrates the calculation rather than setting a rule for every project.
Check the subfloor and moisture requirements
Ask your installer to check the existing surface for flatness, damage and moisture before agreeing on the installation scope. Identify any removal, repairs, leveling, moisture testing or approved barrier that may be needed. Follow the exact flooring manufacturer’s requirements, and agree on how newly discovered preparation work will be priced.
List transitions, stairs and finishing details
Walk through each doorway and change in flooring to identify the transitions and compatible profiles the project needs. Include stair treads, risers and nosing where applicable, plus baseboards, shoe molding or quarter round. Confirm colors, quantities and who will supply and install each item so these details are included in the budget.
Compare complete written installer quotes
Use the same measurements and material plan to request quotes from 2–3 independent installers. Compare removal and disposal, furniture or appliance handling, floor preparation, trim, cleanup and any exclusions—not just a labor price per square foot. Confirm insurance, scheduling, payment terms and the workmanship warranty; installation is a separate agreement with the professional you choose.
Confirm the order and plan material handling
Review the final box count, accessories and current material price with your selected warehouse before placing the order. Confirm stock, product lot availability, pickup or delivery arrangements and order timing. Agree on who will unload and move the flooring, and follow the product’s storage and acclimation instructions before installation.
Walk the finished project and keep a spare box
Review the completed floor with your installer, including edges, transitions, stairs and any items that still need attention. Keep the product labels, purchase records and care instructions together. Set aside one unopened extra box for future repairs, beyond installation waste, and store it flat in dry, climate-controlled conditions; manufacturer storage requirements take precedence.

Room size is only the starting point.
850sq. ft. measured area
+85sq. ft. for cuts (10%)
=935sq. ft. before box rounding
Example only: 850 sq. ft. × 1.10 = 935 sq. ft. Divide by the selected product’s box coverage and round up to whole boxes. Layout and manufacturer instructions determine the actual allowance; 10% is not a rule for every project.
