Make One Complete Project List
Walk through the home before sending the request. Group tasks by room and write down the result you want, not only the symptom. For example, “door will not latch” is more useful than “fix door,” and “patch opening and match orange-peel texture” is more useful than “drywall.”
Take Wide and Close Photographs
A close image shows damage, while a wide image shows access and surrounding materials. Include a ruler or tape measure when size matters. Exterior photos should show stairs, gates and the path from the driveway to the work area.
Check Products Before Installation
Confirm the model, dimensions, hardware and instructions for doors, shelves, blinds, mirrors or other supplied products. Damaged or missing parts can stop an installation even when the opening is ready.
Clear a Safe Work Area
Move fragile items, furniture and stored boxes away from the repair. Keep pets separated and identify electrical panels, water shutoffs or building rules when they affect access.
Decide What Completion Means
For each task, state the finish you expect. A drywall opening may need patching only, or it may need texture, primer and wall paint. A shelf may need installation only, or layout advice and removal of an old unit. Defining the end point keeps the estimate from covering less work than you intended.
Include this information with photographs and measurements when requesting service. A clear description helps distinguish a simple adjustment from work that needs replacement material, finish matching or more than one visit.
