Closeout Ep 44

Blue Tape Walkthrough

A room-by-room punch list system for your final contractor walkthrough — outlets, windows, plumbing, HVAC, and finish quality, before you sign off.

34 items across 6 phases. From the real walk-through before taking keys on a $1M+ remodel.

Pre-Demo Ep 14

Pre-Demo Salvage Walkthrough

Walk the structure with your GC before any demo crew arrives. Tag, photograph, and store salvageable fixtures — so nothing you paid for ends up in a dumpster.

26 items across 6 phases. Covers plumbing valves, lighting, hardware, doors, and immediate post-removal inspection.

Framing & Rough Ep 26

Rough Inspection Readiness

Everything your GC must complete before calling for rough framing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC inspections — so you pass on the first visit and don't delay your close-in.

21 items across 5 phases. Includes the physical job card protocol that prevents costly administrative delays.

Pre-Construction Ep 6 + 8

Home Improvement Contract Review

Before you sign: payment milestones, delay clauses, deposit limits, lien releases, and contractor verification. Know your legal rights in every state.

24 items across 5 phases. Covers CA deposit law, milestone payment structure, change order process, and closeout requirements.

Foundation Ep 5

Outdoor Utility Planning

The underground decisions you must make before concrete is poured: spa circuits, foundation sleeves, gas stubs, irrigation, and drainage — each costs 10× more to add later.

19 items across 4 phases. The checklist for the single highest-leverage window in any renovation.
