Compare offers correctly: what clients should really pay attention to
When it comes to sealing and coating, offers often differ more in terms of service content than in the final price. The guide covers price differences, performance positions and quality features all the way to the decision.
Proceed
Advice, on-site testing, clean system setup
Goal
Long-lasting, dense and easy-care surfaces
Short answer: A good offer is structured in a comprehensible manner, names details transparently and makes the technical path from the existing structure to the finished area clear.
Why offers are so different
Price differences often arise from different assumptions regarding preparatory work, detailed effort and material system. That's why pure final prices are rarely comparable.
Particularly for existing properties, edge zones, connections and possible additional costs must be clearly stated. This shows which service items need to be checked in the next step.
Short info: Quick rule: A low price without a clear detailed description is not a reliable comparison.
Read performance positions correctly
Important points are substrate preparation, construction of the seal, wear layer as well as edge and connection details. If these components are missing, the offer is often incomplete.
For clients, it is worthwhile to compare positions in a structured manner instead of a direct price comparison. If the positions are clear, quality characteristics can be better recognized.
Short info: Practical tip: Compare positions in a simple table to immediately identify gaps.
Recognize quality features in the offer
Reliable offers specify the material system, execution sequence, drying phases and acceptance. This creates planning security for both sides.
The clearer the process is described, the lower the risk of additions and misunderstandings. This makes the decision-making framework robust in the next step.
Short info: Quality is reflected in the level of detail in the description, not in advertising formulations.
Decide without the cheap trap
A fair decision combines price, scope of services and execution reliability. Critical detail zones in particular should be consciously evaluated.
This creates a robust decision-making framework that also takes long-term durability into account.
Short info: The most economical route is often the technically cleanest offer, not the cheapest.
Practical knowledge: Only what is clearly described can be compared
Many offers seem similar at first glance, but differ greatly in terms of service content. A structured comparison protects against misjudgments.
Checklist for clients
- Check positions for the substrate, sealing, wear layer and detail zones separately.
- Mark missing or general collective items as a query point.
- Check the process, drying times and acceptance instructions in the offer.
- Compare not only the final price, but also interfaces and follow-up support.
Common stumbling blocks in practice
- Offers should only be evaluated based on the price per square meter instead of the service content.
- Hide critical details in the comparison.
- Addendums should only be clarified during the course of the project instead of in advance.
Frequently asked questions

What is a red flag in the offer?
Missing detailed items or general collective items without a comprehensible description.
Should follow-up care be included in the offer?
Yes, instructions on care and subsequent checks are part of a reliable overall performance.
