Plan the scope before you request a quote
Use a written brief for playset disassembly so the provider can see the same facts you will later use to compare scope and responsibility.
A consistent description of assembly, disassembly work helps reveal when one estimate includes preparation or cleanup that another leaves outside the quote.
For playset disassembly, note existing damage separately from the work you want completed. That helps prevent an estimate from quietly assuming the surrounding area is already sound.
