Service 03 — Fix · Punch List

Punch list cleanup

The last list before you move in or close escrow. Door alignments, paint touch-ups, sealants, and the small fixes a builder leaves behind. We clear the punch list so the home is truly finished.

What we close out

Start with the feeling you want — we'll shape the plan around it. These are directions to spark ideas; your finished project is built to your lot and your life.

Door & Cabinet Alignment

Doors, drawers, and hardware lined up right.

Drywall & Caulk

Patches, caulk lines, and sealants cleaned up.

Paint Touch-ups

Nicks and scuffs made to disappear.

What's included

  • Door and cabinet alignment
  • Caulk and sealant cleanup
  • Paint touch-ups and nicks
  • A home ready for move-in or escrow close

How a visit works

From the first call to the cleanup

Here's what we actually do on a punch list cleanup — from the first call to the cleanup — so there are no surprises and the same in-house crew that builds our custom homes shows up for the small stuff.

  1. 01

    Gather the punch list

    You send the builder's list, the inspector's report, or we walk the house with you and write it ourselves — one list, every item, in order.

  2. 02

    On-site walkthrough & verification

    We walk the list on site, verify each item, and catch the ones nobody wrote down — the sticky drawer, the misaligned door, the caulk line that's wrong.

  3. 03

    Permit close-out where needed

    If a prior job left an open permit, we close it out as part of the punch list so escrow doesn't stall on a paperwork item.

  4. 04

    Door, cabinet & hardware alignment

    We align doors, adjust drawers, and set hardware right — the mechanical items that make a house feel finished instead of almost.

  5. 05

    Caulk, sealant & waterproofing

    We re-caulk and seal the wet areas — sinks, tubs, and showers — so the small gaps don't become the next repair.

  6. 06

    MEPS touch-ups to code

    Any electrical or plumbing the inspector flagged, we bring to code and clear in the same pass.

  7. 07

    Drywall & paint touch-ups

    We patch the nicks, sand the scuffs, and match the paint so the touch-ups disappear into the wall.

  8. 08

    Final walkthrough & sign-off

    We walk the list with you, check off every item, and hand over a home that's truly finished — ready for move-in or escrow close.

Not sure what you want?

A few questions to get you started

Most people don't have a finished plan yet — that's normal. Think through these while you look at the pictures above, then tell us where you land.

01

What's still on the builder's list?

Share the punch list and we'll knock it out.

02

Is there a deadline — escrow or move-in?

Tell us the date and we'll work back from it.

03

Anything the inspector flagged?

We can clear those items in the same pass.

04

What's your budget for the closeout?

A range helps us prioritize what matters most before the deadline.
