Yes. Crews clean offices, shops and vehicles. For a vehicle, law enforcement usually processes it first, so confirm it has been released. Businesses can often plan work around staff and customers.

No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
