Before and after photo app for painters

The most important part of a paint job is hidden by the end. Filling, sanding and priming are what the client pays for, and photos are the only record that they happened.

What to photograph on a paint job

• Every wall and ceiling before work, including stains, cracks and peeling.
• Prep: filled cracks, sanded patches, taped edges and covered floors.
• Primer or undercoat, before the finish coat hides it.
• The finished room in daylight, from the doorway.
• Paint tins or colour codes, so you can match the colour next time.

Show the prep, justify the price

Cheap quotes skip preparation, and clients can't see the difference on day one. Showing your prep photos on a client link explains why your work costs more and lasts longer.

Wall colour is hard to photograph well. Shoot in daylight, turn lights off if they cast a colour, and keep the phone level so walls look straight.

Turn each room into a portfolio

Label areas such as Lounge or Stairwell once, and each pair gets its own slider on the client link. One tap turns a pair into a branded image for your social pages.
