Questions worth settling
Does the quote include haul-away?
Ask for the teardown, loading, disposal, and cleanup scope to be listed separately enough that you can see what is included.
What should I remove first?
Remove personal items, chemicals, fuel, batteries, propane cylinders, and anything that needs special handling. Confirm utilities before touching connected equipment.
Are permits required?
Requirements depend on the structure and municipality. Confirm the current rule with the local building department before work starts.
