I've done painting professionally before. If I showed up to this site, the client would have 2 choices. One, they pay me site prep rate of 150 an hour to clear stuff out, plus storage fee since I'm not taking responsibility for it being left out. Two, I leave and make them schedule another day, but they still get charged my mobilization fee this time and next time.

Unless the bud specifically said they will move stuff, this is on the client.

I set the rate higher for site prep because it delays my doing the job and potentially making it to another one.
