A simple cutaway can explain the layers involved and the limits of the job. Keep repair and replacement clearly separate throughout the example. ![Detail of a tiled roof](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/roof.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Joshua Mcknight / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/tiles-on-house-roof-15421142/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Open up the roof drawing Start with a labeled roof cutaway that shows only the assembly being discussed. Follow it with site preparation, the agreed work stages, and the final walkthrough. A boundary line can show where the project begins and ends. Avoid using dramatic weather footage or technical graphics that imply performance claims the example does not establish. ## What to bring to the brief Start with approved roof diagrams, project photos and a quote that spells out the work being shown. Check the example against the service you offer, including any separately agreed work. Review the sequence in simple sketches before choosing the final animation. ![Hands drawing scene sketches on a storyboard sheet](https://caprivideo.com/content/images/storyboard.jpg) *Illustrative stock photo: [Ron Lach / Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-filling-storyboard-in-8085954/). [Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/).* ## Where the video can help Use it when discussing a quote and preparing for work. Ask a viewer what's included: if they describe a full replacement after seeing a limited repair, the drawing needs attention. Questions about access and preparation may be answered with a simple label showing who handles the task. ## Related reading - [Show customers how your service works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/b2b-explainer-videos) - [Show how window options work in the room](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/window-installation-videos) ## Related pages - [Industry group: Local services & trades](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services) - [A little more background: Show customers how your service works](https://caprivideo.com/guides/b2b-explainer-videos) - [Show how window options work in the room](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/window-installation-videos): Compare two opening styles, then explain measurement, installation and the choices still to be confirmed. - [Before the painters arrive](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/painting-contractor-videos): Show customers what preparation includes, who moves what and how to discuss work outside the quote. - [Why wallpaper patterns need a closer look](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/wallpaper-installer-videos): Two strips are enough to show how a repeat lines up and why the chosen material matters before ordering. - [There's more to a flooring quote than the finish](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/flooring-explainer-videos): Use a cutaway to explain layers, preparation and the differences customers should discuss when comparing options. - [Bring a landscape proposal into view](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/landscape-design-videos): Walk through paths, planting and outdoor spaces while keeping proposed work and completed projects clearly distinct. - [What's part of the regular lawn-care visit?](https://caprivideo.com/industries/local-services/lawn-care-explainer-videos): Show the areas covered by a recurring plan, its schedule and how customers can request additional work. ## See your offer as a video We create a free watermarked video for your business from your website.
