Verify the business for the scope
Review applicable Oregon licensing and insurance independently. Confirm who will perform the work and whether related trade work or remediation requires another qualified business.
Request a complete written scope
A useful proposal identifies removal limits, panel thickness, backing, tape and finish, texture, protection, cleanup, primer or paint responsibility, timing, and handling of concealed damage.
Compare finish expectations
Ask contractors to describe the intended finish and how they will approach texture matching. Samples, lighting, wall condition, and existing paint can affect what is realistically achievable.
Document changes
Changes should be written before extra work proceeds. Keep proposals, approvals, invoices, and warranty information together for the project record.
