Make a room-and-surface listList walls, ceilings, doors, frames and baseboards for each room; include closets only when wanted. Mark retained finishes. For open-plan areas, describe connected walls and ceilings rather than counting spaces as unrelated rooms. Mention high walls, stair openings and built-ins affecting access or detail.
Choose a finish for how the space is usedThink about everyday contact and cleaning needs when discussing finishes for hallways, bedrooms and woodwork. View samples beside retained materials under normal lighting. A coordinated color scheme need not use identical sheen throughout, and a screen or small card cannot show the complete room effect.
Allow for preparation even on a simple refreshPoint out holes, patches, scuffs, stains and cracks even for a color-only refresh. Ask which preparation is included. Repaired areas may need attention so they do not stand out. Recurring damage or moisture concerns need discussion before painting, not concealment beneath a new finish.
Agree the order of rooms and return to useExplain occupied bedrooms, remote work, pets and furniture that is difficult to move. Agree who moves items and what gets protected. Coordinate other trades. Ask about furniture return, door use and cleaning for the chosen coating: dry to the touch does not mean ready for everything.
