Match what you used last time
You already know the paint. They buy it; you bring the rest.
Before I come Thursday, could you pick up two gallons of the same white we used last time? I’ll bring the rest.
Supplies the client should buy
They need to pick something up before you get there. This is a shopping list, not a reminder that the appointment exists.
Name the product. Don’t send them hunting without a size or color.
They choose the fixture
You install. They pick. If they don’t buy it, you skip that part.
Hi Jordan — I’ll need a new shower head on site. If you grab one you like, I’ll install it. Otherwise I’ll skip that part.
Color you won’t guess
Stain, tile, a specific brand. Be boring and exact.
For Tuesday: please have a quart of Minwax Early American at the house. I don’t want to guess the color.
