Is the scope written clearly?
Ask for a written description of what is included, what is not included, and which decisions are still outstanding.

Know who your day-to-day contact is and how often you can expect updates.
How will my home be protected?
Discuss access, floor protection, cleanup, and how occupied areas will be separated from the work.
