Name the parts included in the sealing proposal
Ask which components or areas the sealing proposal concerns: named duct components, gaps around building-envelope finish interfaces, or more than one area. State what should remain outside the scope so a general sealing label does not hide different tasks.
Use existing observations or records to explain the request. Ask the appropriate professional what assessment is needed before it accepts the proposed work. This description selects no sealing technique, diagnoses no leakage and assigns no specialist capability to a directory business.
Keep separately named test records with the agreed work
Rumson’s published new-construction checklist lists duct-test paperwork and blower-door-test paperwork separately. Keep that document context distinct from a finding that the checklist applies to an ordinary repair.
Ask which agreed work or result each promised record describes and who supplies it. A quotation should identify its actual deliverables rather than use a general test-paperwork label. Keep any staff or professional answer with the corresponding scope. The checklist names do not explain test methods or establish a result for the home.
Does Rumson’s checklist make a duct-test record the same as blower-door paperwork?
The observed new-construction checklist names them separately. Ask staff and the appropriate professional which records concern the actual proposal; no test method, result or universal applicability is determined here.
What should an air-sealing quote identify before I compare providers?
Identify the proposed areas or components, exclusions, assessment responsibility and completion records actually agreed. Ask about the physical work and its deliverables without inferring qualifications or performance from a general service label.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
