How do I show a buyer my cabinet installation company’s photo portfolio?

Sort your photos into groups a buyer can follow: kitchens, vanities, built-ins, commercial fits. Within each, pick jobs that show tight reveals, straight lines, clean scribing and handled problems such as uneven walls. Include a few difficult jobs, not just easy ones.

Add context to each set. Note the date, rough scope, who the designer or builder was and your role. Say what you did and what others did. This protects the claim that the work is yours and helps a buyer match photos to invoices.

Ask permission before sharing client homes, and hide addresses and faces. Your lawyer can tell you how to handle confidentiality and image use, especially if photos came from a designer or a supplier. Finally, pair the portfolio with proof: repeat customers, referrals and low callbacks. Photos should support the numbers, not stand in for them. Store the originals safely, and ask your lawyer whether they are listed among the assets you sell. If your portfolio is thin, take photos on your next several jobs with the client’s consent. Shoot in good light, from the same angles each time, and capture details such as scribing, trim and hardware alignment. A buyer will see consistency in how you present the work. Keep the file name of each photo tied to its job number for easy checking.

Key takeaways

• Group photos by job type with dates and your role.
• Include difficult jobs and before and after views.
• Get permission and remove private details.
