The punch walk, room by room

Remodeling gallery: bathrooms, kitchens, basements and floors

A punch walk is the last lap of a job, room by room, finish by finish. These four sheets follow one through Recommended Remodeling work. Each photo carries one line naming the room and what you can see in it, and the basements are labelled as work still in progress, because that is what they are.

Bathrooms

Tile, glass and a tub that fits the wall

Bathrooms are where the finish list is longest: wall tile, floor tile, glass, tub, vanity top, faucet, lights. Chad walks each one at handoff. Plumbing is sub-contracted through the company, so the tub and the tile belong to the same plan.

Kitchens and cabinets

White cabinets, a backsplash and a floor under them

Cabinets go in first, counters follow, and the backsplash is the last thing the eye settles on. One frame below catches an install while the uppers are still being set.

Floors and rooms

Dark hardwood and plank, wall to wall

Flooring is the quietest part of the walk and the one you stand on every day. Hardwood, plank and fresh paint are shown here as they read in the room.

Basements and framing

A basement before it is a room

The first four frames are work in progress: stud walls, insulation overhead, drywall hung and then taped. None of them is a finished room. The last frame is a finished lower level, so you can see where the walls end up.
