Client Sign-Off & Final Acceptance for Carpentry

The Client Sign-Off & Final Acceptance workflow helps carpentry contractors close projects by ensuring clients approve final results. It includes reviewing workmanship, resolving punch list items, discussing maintenance needs, and obtaining written acceptance. By standardizing this process, carpenters reduce disputes, improve communication, and protect profitability. Clients benefit from confidence that their project has been delivered as promised.
