# Photographs, and Which Ones Actually Tell You Something

> Every job is documented at arrival, at teardown, at the structural stage and at completion. The teardown series is the one that matters, because it is the only point at which the structure behind the finish is visible and checkable.

## What gets photographed on every job

Arrival condition: all four corners, roof, interior and odometer.

Teardown, with hidden damage exposed and measured rather than described.

Moisture mapping where water is involved, showing the entry point and the run rather than only the stain.

The structural stage, before any finish goes back on.

Completion.

## Why the finished shot proves the least

Any competent refinisher produces a good after photograph. It says nothing about whether the wall behind it was dry when the finish went on.

That is why this site does not lead with a gallery of glossy completions. Ask the service desk to see a teardown series on damage similar to yours instead.

## The photographs from your job are yours

They matter at resale, at the next pre purchase inspection, and in any later dispute about what was repaired and when.

Ask at pickup rather than a year later.

## Questions

### Do I get the images from my own job?

Yes, they are yours. Ask the service desk at pickup, which is easier than reconstructing a job file a year afterward.

### Are customer vehicles posted publicly?

Only with the owner agreeing to it at intake. Plenty of owners prefer their coach not appear anywhere, and that is the default.

### What should I photograph myself after a loss?

The whole vehicle rather than just the damage: all four corners, the roof, the interior and the odometer, on the day it happened. That set is what stops a carrier attributing later damage to your loss.
