I usually do a demo on one or two stones so that the home owner will know what she is getting. I do this before I ever talk price. ( I am so confident in this process, that it almost always clinches the sale. ) I like to do these demos in front of a window where natural light is streaming in. That seems to be the best place to demonstrate to the owner how good the floor will look compared to the "unworked" surrounding areas. However, the owner sometimes thinks "what if I don't like it?" There will be this area that looks distinctly different from the rest of the floor if they don't go through with the job. How do you handle this? Is there any better way to do this?
