Final Walk-Through Checklist

 (a helpful tool for providing your builder with a thorough list of final repairs)

You’re finally getting ready to move into your new home!  You’ve been waiting for this moment for over a year, maybe even two.  You’re excited, you’re exhausted, and you just want it to be over, but there is one more thing you need to do before getting the keys to the front door:  THE FINAL WALK-THROUGH.  This is your best opportunity to provide your builder with a “punch-out” list of anything that needs to be changed or repaired and have all repairs completed in a timely fashion.  But. . .

 

Do you know what to look for, what to do first,

and what to bring with you?

Model Home Review Checklist

 (looking past the decorating

to see this house as your home)

 

You’ve visited model after model. Finally, you’ve discovered one that you love. This might be the perfect home for your family, but...

 

Have you really SEEN it ?

 

bullet

How many outlets were on the front porch?

bullet

Was the exhaust above the stove designed to pull the steam and grease from the home, or is it simply a recirculating system that pulls steam and grease through a filter and deposits it back into the kitchen?

bullet

What was the height of the bathroom cabinets: 32” or 36”?

bullet

Were there exterior floodlights? How many? Where were they located? Were they static or equipped with motion sensors?
