Drywall work hides structure. Once the tape and mud are finished and the paint is applied, the framing, insulation, blocking, and utility rough-in behind the wall are invisible. The photos taken before the drywall goes up are the only record of what's inside — for your protection, for future remodelers, and for insurance claims.
Here's how TimeFotos fits the drywall contractor workflow.

Why Pre-Hang Photos Matter
When a homeowner remodels years later and cuts into a wall, discovering missing blocking or fire blocking — and blaming the original drywall contractor — the pre-hang photos are the defense. Timestamped photos showing the wall condition before drywall went up create an unambiguous record.
