What should you check first?
Ask in advance what preparation you can do yourself. Cleaning rooms and moving separate furniture are often clear tasks. The removal of wallpaper or old layers requires more alignment, because you can damage the substrate. Do not start until clear what needs to be removed and what can remain.
How does this affect your choice?
Bundle work when it suits your renovation. Joint finishing of adjacent spaces can give less interruptions than separate visits. Make the scope precise: indicate which walls and ceilings are included in each room and where old plasters should be connected.
Planning the next step
Choose the desired finish based on the follow-up step. For paint a different assessment is required than for a sturdy wallpaper. Also discuss light and details, so that no extra finish is necessary later. A complete offer with preparation and exclusions is a better basis for saving than a striking starting price.

More advice for your project
Take only preparation that has been clearly agreed
Preparing yourself can make the assignment more straightforward, but only when the required condition is clear. For example, agree on what clearing means and how a removed upholstery is delivered. Do not let pre-treatment depend on a general tip.
