Seven questions that separate real installers from the rest.
Print it. Bring it to every estimate, including ours. The right contractor answers all seven without hesitation. The wrong one dodges question 3, blows past question 5, and tells you not to worry about 7.
- The diamond-grinder question that exposes power-washer "prep"
- The moisture-test question that 90% of contractors won't answer in writing
- The warranty question that distinguishes a real warranty from a sales pitch
- The "what happens if it peels in year 4" question (most can't answer)
- The financing question that reveals who's pricing honestly
Why we hand out our own evaluation guide
Most contractors fear questions like these because they can't answer them honestly. Diamond grinder vs. acid etch. Polyurea base vs. one-coat epoxy. Lifetime UV warranty in writing vs. "we warranty against defects." If a contractor can't put their answer in writing, you don't want to hire them.
