Some condo projects may involve drywall surfaces. Others may involve textured finishes over concrete. The substrate affects removal and repair options.

- Working hours and contractor access
- Elevator and parking arrangements
- Common-area protection
- Waste handling

The texture, coating and substrate should be assessed before a removal or resurfacing approach is selected.
