What this checklist covers

Many remodels lose money at the end: a punch list that drags, a permit left open, a change order that was never billed. Closing out in order gets you paid and leaves a customer who will refer you.

How to use it

Tick each item as you go. The sheet saves in this browser, so you can close the page and come back. Print a blank copy for the truck, or fill it in on your phone and print or save it as a PDF for the customer at the end.

With Koira: Customer portal

Every Koira customer gets one link: the estimate, the photos, the invoice and the payment in one place, so the walkthrough notes and the final bill are where the customer can find them.

FAQ

What is a remodel closeout?

Finishing the punch list, closing the permits, cleaning, handing over documents and collecting the final payment.

Why close the permit?

An open permit can cause trouble when the owner sells or refinances.

What are lien waivers?

Documents from subs and suppliers saying they have been paid, so they cannot place a lien on the property.

When should I ask for a review?

Once the job is done and paid.
