What is a carpentry punch list?+
It is a grouped list of small carpentry repairs such as loose trim, sticking doors, broken shelves, minor exterior damage, or inspection report items.
Can I send photos instead of scheduling a visit first?+
Yes. Photos help sort the scope, identify materials, and determine whether a site visit is needed before quoting or scheduling.
Are all punch-list items carpentry work?+
Not always. Some lists include electrical, plumbing, roofing, or structural issues. Those should be handled by the appropriate specialist.
