Every surface is different

Paving, concrete, wood, vinyl, aluminum and masonry do not automatically call for the same approach. Describe the material and the marks you see. High pressure is not a universal solution; gentle washing or another intervention may be more appropriate.

Condition matters as much as material

Mention cracks, open joints, peeling paint, delicate areas or recent repairs. An honest description helps the professional identify what needs inspection before any work. Do not hide damage to obtain quicker cleaning.

The professional assesses the method

Ask how the material will be assessed, protected and cleaned. Clarify the scope, expected limitations and precautions around plants, openings and equipment. Extérieur.ca facilitates requests and matching; the work method is determined with the professional.

Plan the work in the right order

Painting or landscaping may require specific preparation. Mention other planned work to avoid treating a surface before repair or dirtying a freshly maintained area. If bulky items block access, a separate removal request may be useful.
