Lead paint?
If I recall correctly, this is an older house so underneath there may be some lead paint from any work done prior to 1978. You can buy an inexpensive kit at the hardware store to test for lead paint. If there is any, whoever does the work needs to wear protective gear and paint that is falling off needs to be properly removed. Other than that, I'd expect broad sanding, at least spot priming and finish coats. Brush vs spray? That's a whole different discussion. Remove and replace window/door caulking? Replace an occasional piece of rotten wood? Remove hornets and bees etc. before the painter seals them into the attic. Same with bats. Prep is not just for painted surfaces.
