You fix a dozen different things in a day and the photos pile up unsorted.
For handymen
Photo proof for every repair, big or small
Small jobs add up to big reputations. Photo Luego gives a one-person handyman business a simple way to record every repair, pair the before and after, and send a report that looks like it came from a much bigger company.
Works in your phone's browser. Free plan, no card needed.

Where the money leaks
Customers question the invoice when they can not see the problem you fixed.
Referrals need proof of quality work.
How Photo Luego helps
One job per customer, photos kept together.
Pairs made for you, even across several rooms.
Time-stamped records to settle "it was already broken" questions.
A report to attach to the invoice.
On the job
Take a quick before photo of the leak, the cracked tile or the sagging gate. Fix it, match the after, and attach the report.
What to photograph on a repair or handyman job
- The problem before you touch it: the leak, crack, loose fixture or broken part.
- A wide shot for context and a close-up for detail.
- Labels and model numbers on appliances, fixtures and parts.
- Anything nearby that is already damaged, so it is clearly not yours.
- Materials used: the part, the board, the fixture you installed.
- The finished repair from the same angle.
Tips for before and after photos that match
- 1
Take a wide shot first, then a close-up, so the customer understands where the problem is.
- 2
Hold something for scale in the before, such as a tape measure, when size matters.
- 3
Photograph the model number or label of what you replace. It saves a return trip later.
- 4
Use a light for dark spaces, such as under sinks and in crawlspaces, so the photo shows the problem.
- 5
Take the after from the same spot as the before, and clean up before shooting it.
- 6
Keep a separate job for each customer so the photos stay together.
Short captions that help the report sell
One line under a transformation says what you did. A few to adapt:
Dripping supply line under the kitchen sink, replaced.
Cracked bathroom tile, removed and re-set.
Sagging fence gate, rehung with new hinges.
Loose handrail, anchored into the stud.
What to tell the customer
Tell the customer: "I take a quick photo of what I find and what I fix, so you have a record for your own files." Photograph existing damage nearby first so there is never a question about who caused it. Ask before photographing inside the home, and avoid personal items.
General advice, not legal advice. Rules about photographing people and property vary by place, so check yours.
