Get the Most Accurate Estimates from Job Site Photos

Learn how to capture job site photos that maximize AI estimation accuracy. Tips for angles, lighting, reference objects, and damage documentation.

Capture Multiple Angles

Take at least 3-5 photos per area from different angles. The AI cross-references multiple views to build a more complete understanding of scope, dimensions, and material requirements.

Include Reference Objects

Place a tape measure, ruler, or credit card in frame to give the AI a scale reference. This dramatically improves dimensional accuracy for material quantity estimates.

Document Damage Thoroughly

For repair work, photograph the damage from close-up and wide angles. The AI identifies damage extent, affected materials, and estimates repair scope more accurately with comprehensive documentation.

Good Lighting Matters

Natural or well-lit conditions produce the best AI analysis. Avoid shadows that obscure damage or materials. For dark areas like attics or crawl spaces, use a work light to illuminate the subject.
