Document the Home, Not Just the Boxes: Pre- and Post-Move Property Inspections | Tagdd+ Blog

Feature · Pre- & Post-Move Property Inspections

Document the Home, Not Just the Boxes.

Most damage disputes aren’t about the sofa — they’re about the wall the sofa scraped on the way out. Tagdd+ builds a photo record of the property itself, before the first box moves and after the last one leaves.

A scuffed baseboard or a dinged doorframe becomes a “your crew did that” conversation fast — and without a record of what the home looked like beforehand, there’s no good way to answer it. Tagdd+ treats the property itself as something to inventory, with a Pre-Inspection Survey before the move starts and a Post-Inspection Survey once it’s done.

Both surveys live right in the move’s task list — one before packing starts, one after.

Start broad: inside or outside

Logging a piece of existing damage starts with the basics — is it inside the home or outside on the property? That’s the one thing a crew member decides for themselves before the camera does the rest.

Location — the one manual choice before AI takes over.

Capture it with AI

Tap Add Damage by AI and take a photo of the damage. That single photo is all it takes — everything from here is filled in automatically. Prefer to skip AI entirely? “Enter manually” is right there as a fallback.

From one photo

AI reads the photo and fills in the rest

The room, the exact spot, and the written description aren’t separate steps a crew member fills out — they’re what Tagdd+ determines from the photo itself. What follows is the result, not a form to complete.

Room, identified

The room is recognized from the photo — here, correctly placed in the den.

Exact spot, pinpointed

Down to the surface — wall, baseboard, trim, door — not just the room.

Description, written

A plain-English write-up of what the photo shows, saved alongside the image.

A crew member can still edit any of it — swap the room, adjust the exact spot, rewrite the description — before hitting Save. AI gets it right the first time far more often than it needs correcting.

Same process, two moments that matter

The exact same Location → Room → Locations → Details flow runs twice on every move:

Pre-Inspection

Walk the property before a single box is packed. Any existing scuffs, dings, or wear get logged and photographed — so they’re on record as pre-existing before the crew ever touches a wall.

Post-Inspection

Walk it again once the truck is loaded. Anything new gets logged the same way — and because the pre-move record already exists, it’s immediately clear what changed and what didn’t.

A “he said, she said” argument over a scratched doorframe doesn’t hold up well for either side. A dated, photographed, room-by-room record from before the move started does — for the crew and for the customer.

Protect the crew. Protect the customer.
