⚡ Under pressure to hit deadlines, subs often mark punch items as “done” without proper proof or verification. It may look good in the moment, but those shortcuts resurface later — as guest complaints, failed inspections, or expensive rework. Quick fixes might save a day, but they cost weeks (and thousands) in the long run.
The Pain of Short-Term Fixes
❌False Closures: Issues marked “complete” but never actually resolved.
📸No Proof of Fix: Repairs done without photo documentation.
🔁Repeat Work: Same defects reopened, wasting labor and materials.
💸Guest Complaints: Defects missed at turnover become negative reviews.
Why It Happens
Renovation teams face intense pressure from owners to reopen rooms ASAP. Without enforced verification, subs mark items as done to keep things moving — even when they’re not fully fixed.
How FinishLine Solves It
📸Photo-Verified Closeouts: Every fix must be documented with proof.
✅Inspector Sign-Offs: Items stay open until verified by inspection.
