Walkthrough Before We Start
Set two board widths next to the trim in your Beacon room. Compare their scale along the narrowest doorway and decide which grain and edge profile fit the flooring.

Review hardwood in your own room light and ask how long the selected finish needs before furniture can go back in your space.
Survey finished levels across your Beacon project, including thresholds that connect to retained wood, existing tile or staircases.

Straight rows follow a baseline. Align the layout with the hall so the doorway lands where you intend.

Stagger short pieces to form a zigzag. Check the center from the door before cutting.

Chevron ends meet along a point. Draw the main seam and work the layout toward both walls.

Run the rows across the room at an angle. Plot the edges first so the corner cuts stay balanced.

Checkerboard squares alternate grain direction. Lay out the whole grid before adjusting the edges.

Basket weave groups short strips in turns. Test a complete repeat before planning the wall cuts.



Draw a reference line through the opening. Compare both levels and decide which floor will set the direction for the new planks.
Measure the tightest stair turn and note the available landing space. Check any shared entrance rules before arranging delivery.
Measure its outer edge and height. Show which trim will stay so the flooring can be laid out with a suitable gap and finish detail.
Review any history of water entry and take moisture readings. Compare the supporting surface with the maker's installation limits.
Hardwood installation is $2.25/Sq Ft for labor. Review which preparation and transitions are included in the written scope.
Draw both directions at the opening. A header or transition may help when the planks or finished levels do not line up.
Set samples flat beside the trim and view them as the daylight shifts. Check the bevel and sheen along with the color.
Hardwood arrives the next day and acclimates for three days. Installation starts on day four when room conditions are suitable.
