What to record
- Bring photographs of peeling, previous patches and wet areas to the discussion.
- Ask the contractor to identify the boundary of substrate work separately from the decorative treatment.
- Save any written product-system recommendation.
The decision to discuss
Compare proposals by their preparation and retained layers before comparing colors. If one scope includes removal and another does not, they are different projects. Request an explanation of the suitability of the concrete that remains.
Why the surrounding context matters
Moisture requirements depend on the selected flooring or surface system. Keep reported test methods, locations and results with the proposal. A dry-looking photograph and a documented evaluation answer different questions; neither should be described as the other.
Further background: NRMCA: concrete slab moisture. This general background does not diagnose your property.

Send the town, approximate size and access details with wide views and close-ups. Photos help us route the inquiry; we confirm the project scope before booking.
