A useful scope describes more than room count.
Record what will be painted, what needs repair, and what can affect access. This gives every later conversation a clear starting point.
- Surfaces
- Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, cabinets, brick, or stucco
- Condition
- Stains, cracks, peeling areas, repairs, and earlier coatings
- Access
- Occupied rooms, furniture, ceiling height, stories, and restricted areas
- Finish
- Known colors, sheen, product details, and areas that need a sample
Published prices need clear limits.
