Fit-Off

Plumbing, electrical, AC, fixtures, fire alarms.

Final connections. Licensed trades return for sign-off and Certificates of Compliance — keep the paperwork. The next buyer's conveyancer will ask, smiling. New washers, hand-tight cistern bolts, Teflon on the shower arm, and a 15-minute pressure run before anyone caulks the last gap. Hard-wired smoke alarms for new work in most states. DIY refrigerant is not a personality.
