Closeout photos that do not insult the homeowner

Handover day is not the time to discover you never photographed the scratch behind the pantry door. Owners are tired. You are tired. A tight closeout set is basically empathy with a timestamp.

Walk like a picky human

Start where they enter every day—mudroom, kitchen, main bath. Flash on for paint at angles people actually see from the sofa. Open every drawer you installed. Shoot breaker directory if you touched power. Appliances level in frame—nobody wants the “is it supposed to lean?” text two weeks later.

Zip beats “check the drive link again”

One archive, readable index, done. Email can die; attachments are rude but honest.
