Start with a specific product
Ask for the manufacturer, product and color rather than only a broad material category. Review an actual sample and ask how the proposed finish will look alongside existing tile and coping.
Include the preparation
Have the installer describe removal, substrate assessment and repair allowances. A material selection does not establish that preparation is identical between two proposals.
Keep the handover attached
Get refill and startup-care responsibilities in writing, along with product instructions and warranty terms. Photos on this website are illustrations, not examples of an installed product or a promised result.

Questions about this request
Can I compare two quotes that name different finishes?
Record the product and scope differences first. Ask each installer what is included before comparing totals.
Does a finish warranty cover all pool work?
Read the actual terms. Material, workmanship and unrelated equipment coverage may be separate.
