Questions to ask before you hire

• Do you work alongside me, or can you work while I am out?
• Do you charge by the hour or by the project, and is there a minimum?
• Do you take donations and recycling away, or is that left to me?
• Have you worked with situations like mine before, such as a move, a new baby or a parent downsizing?
