How can a handyman catch small mistakes before leaving a job?

Direct answer: Missed details drop when a final walk-through is done with lights on and tools packed away.

Practical steps

• Pack tools first: See the space like a client would.
• Use bright lighting: Shadows hide defects.
• Touch-test finishes: Verify fasteners and seals.

Next step: Do a lights-on walk-through after tools are packed.
