Client Walkthrough for Flooring

The Client Walkthrough workflow helps flooring contractors close out projects smoothly by guiding clients through a thorough review. It includes inspecting finishes, checking for defects, confirming material satisfaction, and addressing punch list items. Teams also document client approvals for accountability. By using this process, flooring companies reduce warranty claims, strengthen communication, and protect profitability. Clients benefit from transparency and reassurance that the work meets expectations. With this workflow in place, flooring contractors can improve professionalism, strengthen credibility, and deliver projects with reliable results and greater client trust.
