What to do before we arrive

The most important thing that you can do is to make sure that the surfaces to be resurfaced are as clean as you can get them. We will be cleaning the surface as part of our process. However, we find that the finished product is improved when the surface is reasonably clean when we get there. You can be aggressive in your cleaning, as we will be etching the surface later.

Any fixtures (drains, faucets, etc.) that are going to be replaced should be removed or replaced before we arrive.
