On a typical Inauguration Day, the White House staff has about five hours to prepare the executive mansion for a new first family. This year will be different than most.

The White House may have served as home to the Trump family for the last four years, but it belongs to President-elect Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, as of Wednesday at noon.

Furniture gets swapped, walls repainted and artwork replaced, all in accordance with the wishes of the incoming first family. "They could be there in an hour or two hours, cutting in half the amount of time that the staff typically has to prepare," Stewart McLaurin, president of The White House Historical Society, told TODAY. “But these are professionals. The staff knows when the Bidens are arriving, and they are taking everything into account to make their arrival comfortable.”

“It’s more than just the residence ... you’ve had all the parties where the virus has spread, and you’ve had in the West Wing, and you’ve had it in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. They have rooms with ceilings 25 feet high. Cleaning that place is tough.”Before the Bidens move in, the White House will have received a top-to-bottom cleaning totaling nearly half a million dollars,. That's on top of the normal changeover costs that come when a new administration takes over.

McLaurin said those staffers have been anticipating the Bidens' arrival and tweaking their roles according to the new family's preferences.
