Two items that one should keep an eye out for at the end of the job:

1) On smaller remodeling projects make sure that the contractor has received a final inspection. If the permit has not been finalized you could face penalties and have to renew the permit to receive your final inspection. Some times contractors will try and leave this to the home owner, not wanting to spend the time to wait for the inspector. I would recommend holding the final payment till after the permit has been finalized.

2) Make sure that all the subs contractors and vendor have been paid by either you or your contractor. If people are not paid a lean could result. Typically companies will mail you a preliminary notice. If there is any addition concerns ask your contractor.
