That depends on the plan. Some jobs end broom-clean, and others include deep cleaning, disinfecting and odor treatment. Ask the team to say exactly what the job covers before work starts.
The crew works with added protection and removes affected materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed so you can plan.
