Confirm who can approve
The property owner or authorized manager establishes the right to perform the work. Neighbor participation and cost-sharing should be resolved by the responsible parties.
Keep the work line clear
Identify the sections included and any survey or ownership questions that remain. A contractor photo review does not establish a legal property line.
Plan for pets and occupied access
Discuss temporary openings and routes that need to stay usable. The repair sequence should reflect those requirements before removal begins.
Compare full scopes
Post work, disposal, hardware, finishes and landscape restoration can differ between proposals. Ask for the same boundaries before comparing totals.
Photos help start the review. Access, concealed conditions and required professional review can change the construction scope.
