Very nice checklist and reference, thanks for sharing!. I use one very similar to that, and I always make sure to leave the customer a copy to see exactly what was tended to. It also helps me make sure I've hit every area. I also have a "thank you" card I send out to each customer that also serves as a customer response card to help get feedback from them and whether they were happy with the detail. Its been very well received!
