Punch list template: track what’s left and get sign-off

The short answer

A punch list records what’s left to fix before a job is finished, usually after a final walkthrough with the customer. List each item, where it is and who’s fixing it, then tick it off and get a signature at the end. Fill this in on your phone during the walkthrough, then print it or save the PDF to share.

Do the walkthrough with the customer, fill it in together, and you’ve got an agreed end to the job.

How it works

  1. Walk the job with the customer before your final invoice.
  2. Add each item: what’s wrong, where and who’ll fix it.
  3. Print it or save the PDF, and share it with your crew and the customer.
  4. Tick off items as they’re done.
  5. Get it signed, then send your final invoice.

What belongs on it

Small things left over from the agreed work: touch-ups, missing covers, a door that sticks. New work doesn’t belong here. That goes on a change order, with a price.

Common questions

What is a punch list?
A list of small items still to fix or finish at the end of a job, usually made during a final walkthrough.
When should I do a punch list?
When the work is substantially finished and before the final payment. Doing it with the customer stops new items appearing later.
Who makes the punch list?
The contractor, the customer or both. Doing it together means you agree on what’s left, which makes signing off easier.
Can the customer hold the final payment until it’s done?
That depends on your contract and state. Say how final payment works in your agreement, before the job starts.
Is this template free?
Yes. No sign-up and no watermark. It runs in your browser, so nothing you type is stored or sent to us. Print it or save it as a PDF before you close the page.
