A punch list is only useful if the painter can find every item and know what to do about it.

Key Takeaways

  • Write each item with location, photo and instruction.
  • Make access easy.
  • Agree sign-off.
  • Keep the list for records.

Make each item clear

A useful punch list names the room or location, includes a photo and states what is needed, with the approved color and sheen.

  • Location and room
  • A photo
  • What is wrong

Make the visit easy

Give access dates and a contact. Note protection needs for finished surfaces.

  • Access dates and times
  • A contact on site

Close it

Walk the list together at the end. Mark items complete and keep the record.

A punch list works best when it reads like a work order. Each item should have a place, a photo and an instruction.

Agree who signs off. A final walk-through with the person who approves the work closes the list cleanly.
