The Problem

Without Documentation, You're Exposed

Exterior contractors get sued for water problems years after install. Here's what's at stake.

Water Intrusion Claims Years Later

Rot shows up behind siding three years after your install and the lawyer's letter follows. Without photos of the housewrap, flashing tape, and window pan details before the siding covered them, you can't prove the water management was done right — and exterior claims are the expensive kind.

Manufacturer Warranty Denials

Siding manufacturers deny warranty claims over installation details: nailing depth, clearances, gapping. When boards buckle or fade, your install photos are the difference between the manufacturer's problem and yours.

Hidden Rot Change Order Fights

You pull the old siding and find rotted sheathing the bid never included. Without photos documenting the discovery, the change order becomes a standoff — and undocumented "deal with it" decisions come back as your liability.

How It Works

Three simple steps to organized, professional documentation.

Document Before & During Tear-Off

Capture the existing exterior, then everything tear-off reveals: sheathing condition, rot, old water damage. Every photo automatically timestamped and geotagged.

Document the Water Management

Photos organized by job and stage: tear-off, sheathing repair, WRB, flashing, siding, trim, final. The details behind the siding stay provable.

Report & Share

Generate professional PDF reports in minutes. Send to homeowners, manufacturers, and GCs straight from the jobsite.

Built for Siding & Exterior Trades

Every feature designed to save you time and protect your business.

Timestamped Install Photos

Every photo captures date, time, and GPS automatically: dated proof of the WRB, flashing, and install details before siding made them invisible.

Exterior Stage Categories

Organize photos by phase: existing conditions, tear-off, sheathing, housewrap, window and door flashing, siding, trim, gutters, final.

Warranty-Ready Reports

Generate PDF reports formatted for manufacturer warranty registration and homeowner closeout packets. Install details documented to spec.

Automatic Cloud Backup

Every photo backed up automatically. Water intrusion claims arrive years later — your install records need to still exist, and they will.

Share with Homeowners & Manufacturers

Send reports and photos to homeowners, manufacturer warranty departments, and GCs via email or text link, straight from your phone.

Built for Ladder & Scaffold Work

Fully offline capable, one-handed capture. Document flashing details from the scaffold without breaking stride.

Real-World Use Cases

See how siding & exterior trades use Fieldpost on every job.

Housewrap and window flashing documented before siding installation

WRB & Flashing Records Before Siding

Photograph the water management layer on every elevation: housewrap laps and seam tape, window pan flashing, head flashing, kick-out flashing at roof-wall intersections, penetration sealing. These details prevent the lawsuits in this trade — and they're invisible the day after install. Dated photos of correct flashing are the strongest defense an exterior contractor can own.

Rotted sheathing discovered under old siding during tear-off

Hidden Rot & Change Order Documentation

When tear-off reveals rotted sheathing, soft framing, or old leak damage, photograph it before anything gets patched. Send the change order with photo evidence the same day — homeowners approve fast when they can see the rot. And if they decline the repair, your documented recommendation protects you when the problem resurfaces.

Completed siding and trim installation on a finished exterior

Completion Packets & Warranty Registration

Document the finished exterior: siding coursing and clearances, trim details, caulk joints, gutter slope and downspout terminations. Generate a closeout packet for the homeowner and an install record for the manufacturer's warranty registration. When a board buckles in year five, your photos prove the gapping and nailing met spec.

The flashing details disappear tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions siding & exterior trades ask before getting started.

Can install photos really protect me from a water intrusion lawsuit?

They're your single best defense. Exterior water claims hinge on whether the WRB and flashing were installed correctly — details that are covered the day after you install them. Timestamped photos of laps, tape, and pan flashing establish your work met spec, which usually redirects the investigation to other causes.

Will manufacturers accept Fieldpost photos for warranty claims?

Yes. Photos are timestamped and geotagged automatically, and reports document nailing, clearances, and gapping — exactly what manufacturers check before honoring or denying a claim.

How fast can I turn discovered rot into an approved change order?

Same day, often same hour. Photograph the rot, add a note describing the repair scope, generate the PDF, and text it to the homeowner. Seeing the damage closes the decision faster than describing it ever will.

Do my crews need training to use this?

No. Open the app, hit the camera button, photos tag to the right job automatically. Crews document from the scaffold on their first job.

How is this different from the camera roll on my phone?

Camera roll photos aren't organized by job or elevation, vanish when phones break or installers leave, and can't prove dates when a claim lands in year three. Fieldpost organizes everything automatically and generates a professional report in under two minutes.

Can I add my whole crew to one account?

Yes. Plans start at 3 users for $25/month, with additional users at $10/month. Every installer documents to the same jobs in real time. No annual contracts.
