The Jobsite Photo Documentation Checklist
Every shot a remodel crew should have on file before drywall closes the job and a homeowner starts remembering it differently.

Resources for Remodelers and Small Build Crews
Practical tools for the paperwork side of residential remodeling, built for crews without an office.
Everything here is free and aimed at the same problem: the gap between what your crew actually built and what you can prove three months later. That gap is where change orders go uncollected, where license board complaints get decided, and where a good job turns into a slow final payment.
Start with the photo documentation checklist if you want something you can use on Monday. Use the calculators if you need to make the case to yourself, or to a partner, that the disputes and the documentation time are worth measuring. The comparison pages cover how ToolboxProof sits next to the other software remodelers evaluate.

Who writes The Punch List, the remodel and build background behind it, and how permit, code and license board claims get checked before anything runs.
Take the checklist out to the truck
Everything on this page stays free and works with whatever phone your crew already carries onto a jobsite. If chasing the pre drywall set by hand on every room stops being realistic once you have three jobs open, we will show you how the app prompts for each stage and turns the pairs into one report the homeowner accepts. Ask for a demo when the checklist starts feeling like homework.
