In this case, who shifts the electric/cable service?

Hello,
Currently, we are replacing all of our exterior pine trim with Azek (for long-term maintenance and to repel woodpeckers who are destroying several corner boards). Unfortunately, one of the boards the birds like best is the trim piece that our electric and phone/cable lines are attached to before they enter the house.
I’m trying to learn who’s the “authority” for removing the service from that trim board, so I can replace it with Azek, then move the service back when I’m done– is it the utilities (in which it looks like TWO utilities will have to come out and move only THEIR service), or a licensed electrician? I’m guessing this is going to be far more expensive and complicated than it seems it should be–
Thanks!

Need to know where you are located. Seems like we just had this thread
We did just have this same question. My answer’s the same as then. My utility and phone company said they would disconnect the wires from the pole, then reconnect them when I’m done. Just call your utilities and ask them.
It's not only the same question. It's the same person. Here's from the other post.
