A little preparation goes a long way. Use this checklist to confirm the scope, provide access, and raise any concerns before your appointment.
Work through these points before your exterior cleaning appointment. Some items are simple to handle yourself, and others are worth discussing with the provider in advance.
Review the surfaces and areas included in your estimate
Ask if anything you expected is outside the agreed scope
Discuss gates, parking, and how the team will reach the work area
Confirm water availability and how it will be used
Ask whether anyone needs to be present during the appointment
Move portable belongings from the agreed work area, where practical
Identify delicate landscaping, outdoor electronics, or existing damage that needs discussion
Arrange for pets to stay away from the work area during the job
Close windows and doors, and tell the provider about known leaks or damaged seals
Ask about any preparation instructions specific to your property
Mention recently treated surfaces or coatings that could be affected
A few details are best confirmed before the appointment rather than assumed. Depending on the project, these may include access and parking, whether pets need to be relocated, and whether someone needs to be home. Ask about anything that is not clear so there are no surprises.
