Project guide
See the possibilities.
Know what to ask.
A useful project starts with a clear picture of your home. These guides help you describe the work, prepare photographs and have a more specific estimate conversation.
01 / DECKFrom weathered
to welcoming.
Start with a wide photograph of the whole deck, followed by close-ups of worn areas, stairs and railings. Include an edge or end board if it helps show the material.
Bring to the conversation
- Approximate dimensions and surface material.
- When it was last cleaned, stained or coated, if known.
- Areas with heavy shade, worn finish or visible damage.
Questions worth asking
What preparation is appropriate? What finish options suit this surface? Are repairs needed before cleaning or staining?

02 / CONCRETEA cleaner path
to your front door.
Photograph the full driveway, walkway or patio, then any stains or problem areas. Describe where water drains and whether the surface has an existing coating.
Bring to the conversation
- The areas to include and their approximate size.
- Close-ups of discoloration, cracks and coatings.
- Access considerations, nearby planting and drainage.
Questions worth asking
Which marks are likely to improve? What limitations should you expect? How should the area be prepared before work?

03 / PAINTA finish that feels
like your home.

- Known coatings, previous work and visible damage.
- Color direction, timing and access constraints.
Questions worth asking
What preparation is included? How will color and finish be confirmed? Which areas need further assessment before a scope can be set?
