What to expect
A decorator will look at the rooms, check the condition and ask what paint you like. Most of the time goes into prep: filling, sanding and masking. They'll protect floors and furniture as they go.
One room is usually 1 to 2 days. A whole house is 1 to 2 weeks.

Questions
The things people ask.
Do I buy the paint?
Either works. Many decorators include trade paint in the price. If you have a favourite brand, just say.
Do I need to empty the room?
Moving small items and clearing shelves helps. Big furniture can be moved to the middle and covered.
How many coats?
Usually two, sometimes three for big colour changes.
