1. Observe and protect
Note what's happening at the Clearwater property, limit further damage where it's safe to do so, and pull together whatever history the house has.
2. Evaluate the house and site
Because Clearwater slabs sit close to a high water table, this step checks moisture, contamination, cracks, joints, surface profile, cure temperature, UV exposure, and traffic before anything gets specified.
3. Define a written scope
Get preparation, protection, materials, access, permits, testing, cleanup, finish restoration, exclusions, and change-order terms down in writing for the Clearwater project.
4. Compare providers
Weigh the reasoning and boundaries behind each Clearwater-area proposal, not just the bottom line, and verify credentials while you're at it.
5. Inspect closeout
Before calling a Clearwater project finished, confirm test results, cleanup, paperwork, warranty terms, and whatever maintenance remains on you.
