Explain what stands out: a lighter floor, a darker palette, a quieter pattern or more visible movement. References help communicate your preferences. They should not be treated as an exact picture of a future installation on a different floor. Our project gallery (https://ellettepoxyllc.com/gallery) is one place to start. ## Think About the Whole Room Consider the walls, lighting, furniture and other finishes around the floor. A close-up can make a pattern look different from the way it reads across a room. Include wide photos of your space so the discussion can take those surroundings into account.

Bring a wide photo of your own space and a few references so we can discuss color and movement in context. - Notice how light falls across the floor. - Compare the floor with walls and furniture. - Use references to explain a direction; each pattern will vary. Explore the Project Gallery (https://ellettepoxyllc.com/gallery) ## Describe the Existing Surface Tell us whether the concrete is bare or already coated. Send clear photos of any cracks, stains or worn areas you want assessed. If you know what was previously installed, share that information. If you do not, say so; guessing at an old material can make the starting point less clear. ## Explain What the Floor Needs to Do A residential room, garage and commercial space can have different uses and expectations. Describe the traffic, activities and cleaning routine you anticipate. Those details belong in the project conversation alongside color and pattern, so appearance is considered with the way the space is used. ## Clarify Scope Before Scheduling Ask which surfaces are included, how preparation will be handled and what you should move before work begins. Discuss the expected access restrictions and when the space can return to use for the proposed system. Get project-specific instructions instead of relying on a general completion-time claim.
