Client Walkthrough for Drywall

The Client Walkthrough workflow supports drywall contractors by ensuring clients are fully informed and satisfied before closeout. It includes reviewing finishes, checking wall and ceiling smoothness, addressing punch list items, and collecting feedback. By standardizing this process, drywall companies reduce disputes, minimize rework, and strengthen credibility. Clients benefit from a guided review that highlights attention to detail and professionalism. Teams gain accountability by documenting approval and follow-up tasks. With this workflow in place, drywall contractors can protect profitability, deliver consistent quality, and build stronger client relationships, making the closeout phase smoother and more reliable.
