What to record
- Move only items you can handle safely and photograph joints, door transitions and fixed equipment.
- Include a wide view before close-ups.
- Note areas normally covered by furniture and whether moisture appears there differently.
The decision to discuss
Ask whether the proposed scope covers the whole patio or selected areas. Keep the intended furniture and walking use clear when discussing finish. A cleared photograph improves visibility without proving the substrate is suitable for an overlay.
Why the surrounding context matters
The finish discussion should follow the intended use and the condition of the material it covers. Appearance, transitions and care are useful owner decisions. A sample or photograph cannot establish hidden support, bond or long-term performance on its own.
Further background: NRMCA: finishing concrete flatwork. 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.
