TL;DR
A punch-list repair is an individual corrective task drawn from a project's closeout list—adjusting a sticking door, caulking a gap, replacing a cracked tile—small in scope but contractually required before final acceptance. Handymen also market standalone service under this name for homeowners who accumulate a sheet of minor fixes, billing by the hour or the bundled list.

Each completed item gets checked off and re-inspected, since unresolved ones hold up final payment.
