The starting point
Send the whole list before arranging a visit, with a photo and a short description for each item. Grouping jobs helps Maz review the scope, materials and access together.
Write down the result you want
Use plain descriptions: a shelf where the books are, a gate that closes properly, or a wall ready to paint. You do not need to diagnose every problem. A clear outcome makes it easier to distinguish the work you need from a guessed repair method.
Add one useful photo per item
Photograph the issue and enough of the surrounding area to show its context. Include product links for items you already own and approximate dimensions where helpful. Label photos with the room or item so the list is easy to follow.
Put the priorities in order
Mark the items that matter most and any timing constraints. Some tasks need materials, drying time or a separate assessment. Sharing priorities lets the conversation account for those differences instead of assuming every item can be completed in the same visit.
Agree what is included
Ask about preparation, materials, finishing and any return visit. If you remember another job later, send it before the appointment so Maz can review it. A combined list is a planning tool, not a promise of a fixed price or same-day completion.
Bring these to the conversation
- A short list, ordered by priority
- Photos and product links
- ZIP code and access details
- Timing constraints
