Work Fotos

August 4, 2025

When you’re responding to storm or water damage, time is tight — but documentation is crucial. Restoration companies must provide clear visual proof of what was damaged, what was done, and why the invoice matches the effort. That’s where photo reports come in.

WorkFotos makes it simple for field teams to capture work progress, organize it by project, and export billing-ready photo reports that support insurance reimbursement or direct-to-client payments.

    With photo reports, your restoration team can eliminate billing disputes, justify every labor hour, and protect your revenue — without wasting time on admin.
  

Why Use Photo Reports for Restoration Billing?

✅ Visual evidence of scope and materials used
✅ Documented timeline of work completed
✅ Proof of mitigation efforts taken early
✅ Insurance carrier support with clean reports
✅ Transparency and trust with clients

How WorkFotos Fits Into Your Billing Workflow

1. Job Created = Gallery Ready

Start by creating a job profile with the property address, claim number, and crew lead. Photos added from that point stay linked to the job.

2. Capture Everything Daily

Field techs snap photos at the start, during, and end of each workday. Document moisture levels, demo areas, material installs, and drying machines in place.

3. Label Work Areas Clearly

Use tags like "Kitchen Ceiling Tear-Out" or "Dryer Set-Up Bedroom A" to help categorize photos when reporting.

4. Add Optional Notes for Billing Justification

Explain photo context such as "Initial state of wall before removal" or "Reinstalled baseboard after drying complete." These notes help justify scope.

5. Export a Branded PDF or Web Report

Select the best photos, organize them by phase, and export a branded report that can be attached to invoices or estimates.
