Roofing FIELD GUIDE

Roofing photo documentation workflow

Create consistent job evidence from arrival through completion.

Reviewed September 7, 2026 · Educational information, not professional advice.

Set a required shot list

Define overview, each slope, penetrations, flashing, damage close-ups, measurements, materials and final cleanup. Use safety rules for every capture.

Name by job and stage

Keep media tied to the customer record with date, stage and author. Avoid personal camera rolls as the long-term system.

Audit before closing

Require a quick completeness review before crews leave. Missing evidence is much more expensive to recreate later.
