Planning the work
Allow the finish to cure and keep paint details for future touch-ups; report moisture or movement instead of covering it repeatedly. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Send photos of the damage, surrounding wall, existing paint information and the room lighting where the finish will be seen. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
