Good idea to get the valve stem seals replaced while head is off................ what did the mechanic mean when he said "head in a mess"

Valves damaged ...possibility of head skim
Needed all new valves, total head rebuild .. new waterpump and cam belt kit
I’m going to mechanic on Monday to discuss after they said they was stripping Saturday just gone
