Turn renovation chaos into a clear timeline with proof
Build an insurance claim timeline
Collect original photos, invoices, payment confirmations, contracts, emails, texts, and issue notes before sorting anything. Keep untouched copies, record where each item came from, and use the actual event date rather than the file download date.
Create one entry per event in chronological order. Add the date, a factual description, the people involved, the amount paid, and supporting files. Then flag missing dates, unexplained charges, incomplete work, and items that directly support the insurance claim.

productivity
Renovation Timeline helps homeowners document contractor and renovation disputes by organizing photos, payments, messages, and issues into a clear, chronological timeline. Instead of digging through emails and screenshots, users can build a clean record of what happened and when, then export or share it as proof for insurance claims, negotiations, or small claims court. Built from personal experience navigating a contractor dispute.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Upload photos from your phone and RenovationTimeline automatically sorts them by date, so you can see exactly what work was done when without digging through your camera roll
- Add payment records and receipts directly to specific dates, creating a clear money trail that shows what you paid for and when disputes started
- Drop in text messages, emails, and contractor communications to build a complete picture of promises made versus work delivered
- Mark problem areas and issues on your timeline so insurance adjusters can quickly see when things went wrong and what led up to each incident
- Export everything as a professional report that insurance companies can actually use, instead of handing over a messy pile of screenshots and random photos
More about evidence traceability
Treat this as Evidence Management, not just productivity: preserve source files and make every timeline entry traceable to the original photo, message, receipt, or payment.
- Keep originals in a separate folder, and work from copies.
- Use exact dates when supported. Label uncertain dates as approximate instead of guessing.
- Before exporting, verify every payment and disputed event opens to its supporting file.
