Before work starts

1. 01The visit or inspection charge — and whether it's adjusted against the job
2. 02A price for the job before work starts (or a per-hour rate)
3. 03Who buys the materials and parts, and that you keep the bills
4. 04How long the work is guaranteed if the same problem comes back
5. 05Clean-up after the job, and when it will be finished

General guidance — every job is different. Agree directly with the expert.
