1. 1Decide whether it is cosmeticLook for dampness, spreading cracks, softness or movement. A growing crack or wet wall needs investigation before filler.
2. 2Prepare the work areaProtect nearby finishes and occupants. Confirm the approved dust-control method and product safety instructions before any scraping or sanding.
3. 3Apply a thin repairFor a small shallow dent, remove only loose surface material within approved scope and apply compatible compound with a clean putty knife. Follow the product depth and drying limits.
4. 4Finish after dryingUse minimal manufacturer-approved finishing and dust control. Prime the repair where required, then match the existing coating. Do not paint over damp compound.
5. 5Check the resultInspect under normal lighting, clean the area and record the paint identification. If the mark reappears, investigate the cause rather than adding repeated layers.

Record the exact location, observed condition, time, actions taken, person contacted and follow-up owner. Keep unresolved items visible. A completed checklist means the check was performed; it does not automatically mean the equipment passed or is safe.
