Warranty & Project Handoff Checklist
Final walkthrough: Walk the client through the project with a checklist of completed tasks, noting any unresolved issues. Document findings with photos and notes.
Warranty documentation: Provide a written warranty summary, including coverage terms, duration, and contact details for your company. Use clear, non-technical language.
Transfer service records: Share maintenance logs, product manuals, and installation details with the client. Ensure they know where to find these documents (e.g., cloud folder or physical file).
Client education: Explain how to report warranty claims, what’s covered, and your response timeline. Offer a phone number or email for direct support.
Confirm satisfaction: Ask the client to sign a closeout form acknowledging project completion and warranty terms. Keep a copy for your records.
Schedule follow-up: Set a post-project check-in (e.g., 30 days later) to address any lingering concerns and reinforce your commitment to quality.
Close the file: Archive all project documents, including contracts, invoices, and warranty handoff materials. Label files clearly for future reference.
Completing this warranty handoff checklist ensures clients feel supported long after the job ends, reducing callbacks and building loyalty. Treat the handoff as a final service opportunity—done right, it’s your best marketing tool.
