I would expect that your rebore company actually bore and hone the block. It's normal practice.
I too give them the dimension needed and instruct them to bore & hone it dead on. I would never expect to hone it myself. The control of finish that you can get with a Delapena or Sunnen type hone is very different from a "glaze buster" ball hone or one of those three legged expanding jobs.
