The short answer
Preparation should follow the selected provider's written plan. Confirm work areas, access, furniture and coverings, children and pets, security systems, daily closeout, weather protection, and any lead-safe or special-property instructions before moving or disconnecting anything.
- Ask what the provider moves and what the homeowner moves.
- Protect people, pets, valuables, and access paths.
- Confirm alarms, coverings, landscaping, and daily security.
