VISIT PROCESS
What happens during a scheduled visit?

OUTSIDE THE SCOPE
Clear boundaries protect the service.
Arrival Prep does not include housekeeping, heavy moving, repairs, licensed trade work, or waiting for an unscheduled delivery. The service adjusts and documents agreed readiness details; it does not guarantee that every concealed or appliance-related condition is clear.
