1. Watch and protect
Note what the system is doing wrong, take a few photos, and limit further damage where it's safe to do so, so a small problem doesn't turn into a bigger one.
2. Read the house and site
Because so much of Hoover was built inside one long boom, a coordinated scope starts with how that specific house and lot were graded and framed, not a generic checklist borrowed from a different subdivision.
3. Put the scope in writing
Get it in writing: what prep and protection are included, which materials are specified, how access and permits are handled, what gets tested, and how cleanup, exclusions, and change orders work.
4. Weigh the proposals
Check credentials, then compare the reasoning behind each proposal—why they spec what they spec—rather than just lining up bottom-line numbers.
5. Walk the closeout
Confirm the system was tested, the site was cleaned up, you received documentation and warranty paperwork, and you know what maintenance responsibilities are now yours.
