Crew job photo documentation
Crew and subcontractor photos on one job album — not twelve text threads
The helper has the flashing detail. The sub has the rough-in. You have a client asking for proof. Crew job photo documentation means everyone uploads to the same address album from their phone. You share one link and attach the set when you bill — billing stays with you.

The problem
Crew photos scatter when everyone texts dispatch
If stills live on twelve phones, you do not have crew job photo documentation — you have a scavenger hunt. One album by address, upload from the field, one client link, then attach when you bill.
Scattered job photos versus albums organized by projectHow photos move
From crew capture on site to one packet you control
The crew shoots, the album collects by address, you share one link, then attach the set to the estimate or invoice — without handing over billing.
01
Capture on site
Take progress shots, before-and-afters, and walkthroughs on iPhone or Android. Your crew already has a camera in their pocket.

Organize by project
Pin the job address so every photo lands in the right album. When someone asks for proof later, you can find it.

Before and after service photos
Remodelers, HVAC techs, landscapers, and plumbers close faster when the client can see the before and after — then you send the estimate while it’s still fresh.

Sound familiar?
Four crew-photo problems on every site
Mixed camera roll
Photos from four visits sit in one camera roll — hard to find the right shots when a client calls.
Album per project
Keep photos by job address so every shot stays with that project.
Crew out of sync
Techs text photos to dispatch, dispatch texts the office, and nobody has the full set when it’s time to share with the client.
Crew on one album
Everyone uploads to the same album — field and office see the same photos.
Messy handoffs
Twenty compressed texts or a Drive permission maze doesn’t look like a finished job.
One client link
Share a clean gallery from your page. Keep adding photos without resending a new link.
Photos in one place, invoices in another
You prove the work in photos, then switch apps to quote, schedule, or invoice.
Page + CRM
Put before-and-after photos on estimates and invoices — same page, same brand.
Crew photo sharing on site that does not give away billing
You need the stills. You do not need every sub texting the owner. Invite upload-only roles so crew job photo documentation feeds one album while you keep the client relationship and the invoice.
Subs, helpers, and the GC on the same packet
Rough-in photos from the plumber and finish photos from your painter should not live in two phones. One address album is the job record — shareable, attachable, still yours.
From the crew album to the invoice
When the day is documented, send the packet with the paperwork. Starter is free to start — see Plans for storage, seats, and online payment fees.
For trades and field service
Crew documentation for GCs, trades, and mixed sites
Remodeling & GC
Keep each phase in one album — before, during, and after — so the client can follow the job.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical & garage door
Rough-in, repair, install, and callback photos stay with the address, ready when you need them.
Landscaping & cleaning
Before and after for every visit — arrival, work in progress, and sign-off.
Roofing & exteriors
From tear-off to close-out, photos for adjusters, GCs, and homeowners.

Crew job photo documentation — FAQ
- How do I collect crew and subcontractor photos on site?
- Open an album for the job address and invite the crew with upload access. They add stills from their phones; you share one client link instead of merging threads at night.
- Can subs upload without seeing my other jobs?
- Invite them to that album. They add documentation for this site; they do not get a tour of every other address on your page.
- Will the owner see the crew chat?
- No. They get a read-only link to the album. Crew photo sharing on site stays in the job file; the client sees the photos, not the group thread.
- Who controls the estimate if the crew uploads?
- You do. Upload access is for photos. Estimates, invoices, and who receives the client link stay with you.
- Can I attach the crew album to an invoice?
- Yes. Attach stills, walkthrough video, or a live FWDLink from the shared album when you send the paperwork.
- Is this only for big crews?
- No. Two people on a service call still beat texting stills around. Same path: capture, album by address, share, attach.
