- Confirm the written scope
Work only what was agreed, and photograph the starting condition.
- Complete the repair
Use methods that match the material in front of the technician, not a one-size tutorial.
- Clean and document
Leave the area broom-clean with after photos on the ticket.
- Note follow-up
Write down anything that was out of scope or needs a licensed trade.
