Warranty photos & install documentation
Warranty photos that still make sense a year later
Serial numbers, flashing, buried lines, torque marks — install documentation photos only help if you can find them. Capture on site, file by address, share a link if the manufacturer or owner asks, and attach the same set to the invoice so the job file and the paperwork match.

The problem
Warranty claims stall without install photos
A year later, Recents will not save you. Warranty photos and install documentation photos need an album by address, a link you can send, and a copy on the invoice.

From install-day stills to a file you can find next year
Capture hidden work and labels, file by address, share a link when someone asks, then attach the warranty set to the invoice.
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.

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 warranty-photo failures after the crew leaves
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.
Install documentation photos before the work disappears
Warranties fail in the gap between “we did it right” and “here is the picture.” Shoot what you will never see again — membranes, straps, underground, model stickers — and keep it on the address album.
Callbacks, vendors, and owners on the same file
A year later nobody remembers which crew. An album by address is the memory. Share a link instead of promising to look through the phones.

Install day is the record

Callbacks arrive by street name, not by the date you thought it was. Pin the job so warranty photos pull in seconds.
Share the proof, bill the job
Send a link to the owner, GC, or vendor. Attach install documentation photos to the invoice from the same page.
Warranty photos and install documentation — FAQ
- What should I include in warranty photos?
- Existing condition, hidden work, labels and serials, coverage details, and the finished install — filed by address so you can pull install documentation photos without guessing the date.
- How long should I keep install documentation photos?
- At least through the warranty you sold — longer if the manufacturer or code requires it. An address album is easier to keep than a roll you will wipe on the next phone.
- Can I share warranty photos with a manufacturer or adjuster?
- Yes. Send a read-only link from your page. They open it in a browser; you keep adding if a return visit documents a repair.
- Can my installers upload the warranty set from the roof or the basement?
- Invite them with upload access to that job album. You still control who gets the client link and the invoice.
- Can I attach warranty photos to the invoice?
- Yes. Attach stills or a live FWDLink so the paid job file includes the install documentation — useful if the callback arrives after the crew has moved on.
- Is this the same as a change-order photo set?
- Related, not the same. Warranty photos prove how it was installed. Change-order photos prove extra work. Keep both in the job album; they answer different arguments.
