Information to have ready
Have the complete address, building type, number of storeys and responsible person’s name ready. Note the covering if known, the approximate year of the last work and the reason for your request. An earlier invoice or inspection report can help even without building plans.
Useful photos and constraints
Facade and indoor damage photos taken safely help explain the issue. Mention shared access, an operating business, a narrow yard or equipment that needs protection. For a condominium, explain the approval process and who should receive the proposal.
Questions to ask before signing
Clarify materials, deck work, insulation, connections, cleanup and exclusions. Request the written terms of any proposed warranty and the approval method for unforeseen work. Also agree on access, site protection and required permit steps.
