When I am in the midst of booking a job, I ask certain questions, one being, Is there access to the attic? And then ask if it is accessed through a closet or a drop down. Sometimes they know and sometimes they don't, but I always tell them to make sure if the access is in a closet that the closet is cleaned out, shelving is removed and the hangar rod dismantled, or I won't be able to inspect the attic. Rarely is it not done before I get there.
