Record surface and condition

Note facade materials, staining type, visible cracks, sealants, coatings, glass condition, roofline details, and areas that may require specialty restoration.

Record access and operations

Capture working height, launch or lift space, water access, hose routes, traffic, tenants, guest entrances, weather exposure, and likely work windows.

Record what happens next

A good service report should identify completed areas, remaining conditions, photos, recommended cadence, and any work that should be referred to another access or restoration method.

Apply the Guidance

Turn the question into a site plan.

Surface, access, traffic, weather, water, drainage, and the required finish determine the right next step for the building.
