Checklist questions, answered.

How do I use these project checklists?

Select each box as you complete a planning task. Each list tracks its own progress, so you can work through painting and flooring separately.

Can I download a checklist?

Yes. Select Download .txt on the list you need. The text file includes all checklist items and your current selections. You can save it, edit it or print it with a text editor.

Will my progress stay saved?

Your selections remain while this page is open. Reloading or leaving the page resets them. Download a copy before you leave if you want to keep your progress.

Are the lists a complete materials estimate?

They organize the main planning steps. Your actual supplies depend on the room, surface, product and installation method. Check product instructions and use your measurements to prepare a final shopping list.

Can I use the lists with imperial or metric units?

Yes. Record all dimensions in one consistent unit system. When using a calculator, make sure the product coverage and room measurements use compatible units.
