A leave-the-site checklist for every job
The last five minutes on site decide whether a job is remembered as clean and professional or as unfinished.
- Walk the work area once more. Look for fasteners, packaging and scraps you may have missed.
- Test what you touched. Run it, flip it or turn it on and confirm it works the way the customer expects.
- Take final photos. Photograph the finished work and the cleaned area for the job record.
- Explain what you did in plain words. Tell the customer what was done, what to watch for and who to call.
- Collect tools and materials. Count tools against your list before leaving.
- Secure the property. Close gates, doors and garage openings the way you found them.
- Record open items. If anything remains, note it and tell the customer when you will return.
