Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews do not discuss the job with others.
Usually not. Many owners set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. Tell the team who has the keys and whether a business must stay open around the work.
Glass, metal, sealed wood and plastic often clean well. Washable fabrics may be saved depending on the agent. Carpet, padding, foam and mattresses are harder, and some must be removed. The crew sorts items with you.
If the heating or cooling system ran, it may have pulled irritant particles into vents and ducts and moved them to other rooms. Crews isolate and clean the system so residue does not spread again.
