Work Photo Pro: Built from the Ground Up...
You won't find our story in a Silicon Valley coffee shop. You'll find it on a roof under the scorching sun, in a muddy construction site at 7 AM, and in the bed of a landscaper's truck at the end of a long day. That's where JobPhoto was built, because that's where I've spent my life.
My name is Dave Halmai. I was born with dirt under my fingernails and sawdust in my hair. For years, I made my living with my hands—as a landscaper shaping the earth, a roofer facing the elements, and a construction worker building from the ground up. I wasn't a software guy; I was a tradesman.
On every job, photos became our lifeline. We snapped pictures of progress, of problems, of pre-existing conditions and perfect finished work. But the more photos we took, the bigger the mess became. They were scattered across phones, lost in text threads, and buried in email chains. We'd spend more time searching for a photo than we did actually using it. Sound familiar?
I went looking for a simple app to solve our problem. Everything I found was either too complicated, too expensive, or built for someone in an office, not for me and my crew out in the field. So, we did what tradespeople do best: we decided to build a solution ourselves.
How hard could it be? (Turns out, pretty hard). But I knew what we needed. I'd lived the problem. I found a developer, and together we got to work. We didn't start with fancy features; we started with the basics: a simple way to take a photo, tag it to the right job, and have it instantly available for the whole crew.
JobPhoto wasn't built in a day. It was tested on real roofing projects, refined during landscaping gigs, and tweaked on active construction sites. My rule was simple: if it didn't work for us—if it wasn't fast, durable, and dead simple—it wouldn't work for anyone else. That's the standard we still live by.
Today, JobPhoto is used by thousands of contractors and pros just like you to keep their projects organized and their teams on the same page. We've helped document millions of moments that matter, from the first shovel of dirt to the final nail.
But at its core, this app is still built by a guy who knows what it's like to have sawdust in his pockets. We're constantly working to make it better, to make your work (and your life) a little easier.
This is just the beginning. Let's get to work.
