Naming and storing job site photos
Photos settle disputes only if you can find them.
- Take the same shots every job. Wide view, close-up, and the model or serial label.
- Attach photos to the job right away. Do not leave them in a phone camera roll.
- Label what each one shows. A short note like 'old panel, before' is enough.
- Take after photos before you leave. Show finished work and a clean site.
- Keep them for your warranty period. Hold photos at least as long as you stand behind the work.
