Punch List Best Practices

1

Walk Every Room

Systematically inspect each room or area. Don't rely on memory - check everything.

2

Be Specific

'Touch up paint on north wall, 3 feet from door' is better than 'paint issue'.

3

Take Photos

Document each item with a dated photo. It eliminates disputes later.

4

Prioritize Items

Mark safety issues and functional problems as critical; cosmetic items as minor.
