Roofing job photo app with before and after proof

Your client will never climb up to check your work. On a roof, the photos are the work as far as they are concerned, so trust depends on showing them clearly.

What to photograph on a roofing job

• All four slopes from the ground before work begins.
• Damage up close, with something for scale such as a tape measure.
• Underlay, flashing and fixings before they are covered.
• Valleys, ridges and chimney junctions, where leaks tend to start.
• The finished roof, plus the cleared site and gutters.

Explain the problem before you quote

Homeowners struggle to judge a repair they can't see. Showing a close-up of a cracked tile makes the quote easy to understand. It also protects you from being accused of inventing the problem, because the photo is linked to the job with a date.

Keep the photos for the warranty

Years later, someone may ask what was done. Photos of the underlay and flashing, saved against the job, are your record. Your crew shoots them on site and the office finds them by client name.
