Walkthrough Before We Start
In Inwood, a walkthrough comes first. Our lead installer checks for soft spots in the base, notes every door opening height and plans which way the rows should run.

For Inwood wood, review insurance and licensing with the work scope. Define any owner or project requirements before booking.
Assess closets and recesses with the main floor area. Assess the layout and calculate the Inwood board order from those dimensions.
Inwood hardwood includes one-year labor terms. Keep the scope, manufacturer coverage and care instructions with the hardwood identification.

Set a reference line for straight Inwood boards. Check that every row meets the door frames as planned.

Before you order the boards, set Inwood herringbone from the centerline, then also balance its edge cuts.

Inwood chevron design should align the points with the room axis. Preview wall cuts and doorway transitions.

Test a diagonal layout on your room draw first. Include the extra cuts at corners and the edges of adjoining rooms.

For Inwood checkerboard parquet, check square modules and grain. Review room edges before placing blocks.

Sketch a basket-weave repeat beside the longest wall. Review its edge cuts where the pattern will meet a doorway.



For a West 207th Street delivery, measure the elevator door, the tightest landing and the turn into your unit. Compare those dimensions with the board bundles. Then measure where the new floor meets the common hallway so the quote can include any threshold work.
For an older Broadway apartment, mark the exact edge of the parquet you want to preserve. Measure the thickness of the replacement floor from the exposed base. A sample of the proposed threshold helps show how the two patterns and finished heights will meet.
Ask management for the flooring alteration rules before buying material. In a building near Dyckman Street, record the unit and the existing base on the proposal. If the building requests sound documentation, compare the whole proposed assembly with what it accepts.
Tell us which street door the crew should use and whether a service elevator needs to be reserved. Photograph the route from the lobby to the room. Long boards may need a different carrying plan than cartons of shorter pieces.
Put one sample near the park-facing window and another beside the painted casing in the hall. The brighter spot can make the grain look different. Check both with the finish and board width you are considering before choosing a layout.
Check the board manufacturer's instructions for the specific base. Ask how the crew will evaluate flatness and moisture and which approved installation method the proposal includes.
Ask for the direction, the starting line and the edge treatment on a measured plan. Compare the cuts at doorways before deciding how much material to order.
The old covering may hide patches or uneven support. Agree how newly exposed conditions will be documented and approved before the crew prepares the base.
