For builders

Finish, punch-list and warranty service for production home builders

We take finish and punch items on the builder's closeout schedule and handle warranty requests for the same scopes, with one point of contact for each community and a dated photo record for each completed item. Our service area for builder communities is New Jersey, Pennsylvania, upstate New York and Connecticut.

Punch-list and warranty service for finish scopes

One punch-list and warranty contractor for finish items

Finish items on a punch list are often divided among several trades, and each return visit takes time out of the closeout week. We take these items as a single service contractor, so the field manager assigns them once and receives one sign-off record for each lot.

  • Work scheduled around the builder's closeout milestones
  • Common materials carried to each visit, including caulk, community paint colors, trim profiles, door stops and hardware, shelving parts and patch materials
  • A photo-documented sign-off for each item
  • Blockers, such as a missing part, damage by another trade or no access, reported to the field manager with what is needed to close the item
  • Warranty requests for the same scopes handled after closing, with the same documentation

Scopes we perform

  • Finish and trim carpentry

    Base, casing, crown, stair parts and trim repairs, including gaps, open joints and damaged profiles noted at final inspection.

  • Interior doors and hardware

    Door adjustment, hinges, stops, latches and hardware, corrected before the homeowner orientation.

  • Drywall patch and paint touch-up

    Patching, sanding and touch-up in the community's colors after the other trades finish, scheduled ahead of final clean.

  • Caulking and sealing

    Interior caulk at trim, counters, tubs and showers, and exterior sealant at penetrations and trim.

  • Shelving and accessories

    Closet and pantry shelving, rods, bath accessories, mirrors and similar items installed, reset or replaced.

  • Minor exterior patching

    Siding, trim, PVC and cap repairs, and small exterior patches noted on the punch walk.

Electrical, plumbing, gas and HVAC items are available through licensed partner contractors, who perform that work under their own licenses.

Send the communities, the scopes and the closeout schedule you need covered. We will contact you to arrange a call with your purchasing or construction team and then send a quote.

How we work within your closeout week

The work is sequenced around the builder's milestones for paint, clean and the final walk.

  1. Punch list received

    The field manager sends the list through your system or ours. We confirm which items are ours and identify any item that belongs to another trade before work starts.

  2. Materials on hand

    Common replacement materials are carried to the lot to reduce return visits for parts. Items that need a builder-supplied part are reported with the part required.

  3. Items cleared and photographed

    Each item is completed, photographed before and after, and marked complete with the date.

  4. Blockers reported to the field manager

    A missing part, damage by another trade or a locked house is reported to the field manager, with what is needed to close the item and a proposed date for the return visit.

  5. Sign-off and warranty

    The field manager receives the sign-off record for the lot. Warranty requests for the same scopes after closing follow the same process and documentation.

Records and controls you can review

  • Our own insurance

    We carry our own insurance. Certificates of insurance are issued for each builder and community, and the endorsements your program requires are reviewed with our insurance provider for each program.

  • One point of contact per community

    Each community has one named contact for scheduling, punch lists, warranty requests and questions from the field manager.

  • Photo-documented checkpoints per lot

    Each lot has a record of checkpoints and sign-offs with photos, available to the builder for quality reviews and back-charge questions.

  • LiDAR scans before close-in

    We record our work with LiDAR scans as current practice. Where our scope begins before close-in, the scans record what is behind the drywall, and they can be shared with the builder.

  • Software that works with your systems

    We develop our own scheduling and documentation software, designed to exchange punch items, schedules, purchase orders and sign-off records with a builder's scheduling and purchasing systems. Whether and how a connection is made is scoped with your team for each system.

  • Jobsite monitoring, in development

    We are developing jobsite monitoring that uses a vision language model to flag possible safety issues and likely defects before they are covered by drywall. It is not yet in service.

One community is enough to start. Send the community, the scopes and your closeout schedule, and we will contact you to discuss the work and prepare a quote.

Questions from builders

Which scopes do you perform for builders?

Finish and trim carpentry, interior doors and hardware, drywall patch, paint touch-up, caulking, shelving and accessories, and minor exterior patching, together with punch-list and warranty service for these items.

Can you handle electrical, plumbing or HVAC items?

Yes, through licensed partner contractors, who perform that work under their own licenses. Our main offer to builders is the finish scopes that need no trade license, which we take as a single contractor.

How are completed items documented?

Each item is photographed before and after and signed off with the date. The field manager receives the record for each lot, and the records remain available for warranty and quality reviews. In occupied homes, photographs are limited to the work area and taken with the homeowner's consent.

Where do you work?

New Jersey, Pennsylvania, upstate New York and Connecticut. Crews are assigned by community, and capacity for additional communities is discussed with each builder.

What do you need to start with a new builder?

Your onboarding requirements, and the communities and scopes you want covered. Insurance, safety program, workforce documentation and the certifications your trade-partner program requires are arranged for each builder and community, and we confirm how each item is provided for your program.
