Decision to make
Before signing, keep the symptom brief, inspection, compared estimate, legal company, verified license, insurance evidence requested by the property, work boundary, materials, price, payment, schedule, protection, permits, exclusions, and warranty.
Record to build
During work, retain opened-condition photographs supplied by the provider, material changes, access decisions, tests, town inspections, service interruptions, other-trade handoffs, and signed authorizations.
Question to compare
At closeout, reconcile scope, changes, invoice, payment, permit and inspection completion, material and equipment identifiers, operation notes, warranties, cleanup, restoration, and open items.
Useful closeout
Protect tenant, access, account, and claim information in any copy. Keep the original controlled file and share only the pages another provider or official decision needs.
