Punchlist

PARTNERING WITH LOCAL HOMEOWNERS IN GREENSBORO, NC, & REALTORS TO GET THOSE “HONEY DO LISTS” COMPLETED AND CHECK OFF THOSE PUNCH-LISTS 


LET US HANDLE YOUR HANDYMAN NEEDS

A punch list is a document that tradespeople use to identify and list tasks that need to be completed before a construction project is considered complete. In real estate, a punch list is a list of tasks that need to be completed before a new build, renovation or selling of a home is considered done. Blackdog Handyman Service Inc. in Greensboro, NC, can assist!


Punch lists can include tasks such as:

Touch-ups, Renovations, Repairs, Outlets, Vanity handles, Drywall repair, Appliance issues and More. Punch lists are usually created by the owner, realtor, or home inspector during key milestones or near the end of a project. The length of time required to complete a punch list depends on the size and complexity of the list.


Punch lists are beneficial because they save the buyer time and money by making sure the seller or contractor has completed all necessary work to get the property in proper shape before the handover. This helps to clear up future possible miscommunication by ensuring all parties are on the same page in terms of responsibility for fixing the property. Black Dog Handyman Services is here to help get those lists complete in a timely manner, with the least amount of expense and delays.


GET STARTED WITH OUR PUNCH LIST    


  • Punch lists on existing properties are often created during the first walk-through with a building inspector or real estate agent, who will tour the property and make note of any obvious problems that need attention, from squeaky floors to leaky faucets. Each item on the punch list should be specific and itemized in an organized manner. Items may include: electricity, appliances, doors, windows, plumbing, HVAC (heating and air-conditioning) systems and more. The punch lists should be as thorough as possible.


  • With new construction, the punch list is often created near the completion of the construction project to identify any discrepancies that do not adhere to the original contract for the property and must be completed before final payment is submitted.


  • In addition to serving as a contract, the punch list also works as a negotiation tool between the buyer and the seller/contractor. Each item needs to be agreed upon by all parties in order to finalize the punch list.


  • The punch list should also be used for the final property walkthrough to double check that every item has been sufficiently completed. A good-faith effort on behalf of the seller or contractor to finish the list is required. If there are incomplete items, this can lead to a delayed closing unless the buyer is willing to fix the problem themselves. Once the work is completed to the buyer’s satisfaction, the contractor or seller will be paid. All parties will need to sign or initial the punch list to confirm that it has been completed.
