Surface Texture & Color Selection
The #1 factor in customer satisfaction — and the #1 source of disputes when skipped
⚠ CRITICAL SALES STEP
Every design consultation must cover texture and color selection with physical samples. When documented on the contract, this single step eliminates free rework and protects your margin.
TEXTURE SELECTIONChoose grip vs. cleanability

MOUNTAINS & VALLEYS

★ SALES BEST PRACTICE
Always use physical texture samples the customer can touch. Label each with a clear code. When they choose, record the code on their contract. This puts responsibility for the choice in writing.
COLOR SELECTIONSet expectations before install
Some customers struggle to visualize finished colors. Physical samples are essential. Printed charts are a guide only — colors shift between printers and inks.
◉ Show physical samples
Exact color approval whenever possible
◉ Explain print variance
Charts are guides, not exact match
◉ Multi-color mixes vary
2+ stains = dozens of unique shades
◉ Document the selection
Sample code + sign-off on contract
★ SALES BEST PRACTICE
Explain that printed charts are a guide, not a guarantee. Show mixed samples when available. Document the approved code to protect both parties.
⚠ PROTECT THE SALE — DOCUMENT THE CHOICE
When texture and color selections are clearly recorded on the contract with sample codes and customer sign-off, any post-install change requests become paid work — not free rework. This is not your liability when you’ve done the sales process right.
★ BEFORE EVERY ESTIMATE
Bring labeled texture samples (T-1, T-2, T-3) and physical color charts. Let the customer touch and compare.
★ DURING THE CONSULTATION
Explain the tradeoff: smooth = easy clean but slippery; aggressive = great grip but harder to clean.
★ ON THE CONTRACT
Record texture code + color code with customer signature. This eliminates free rework disputes.
