Why Create a Custom Photo Gallery on HomeStars?

Here’s how you can create a custom gallery in your HomeStars profile:

On Desktop:

Step 1: Login & locate the ‘galleries’ option on your HomeStars dashboard

Step 2: Scroll down and click on the blue ‘new gallery’ sign and click on the + sign to start uploading pictures

Step 3: Click on ‘choose a file’ for images and start uploading pictures from your computer. If you have a video of your work on YouTube, you can add the link of that video as well. Once you have added all the desired pictures, remember to click on ‘add images’ for successfully uploading them in one go

Step 4: Click on the image to add a caption to each image specifying its details.

Step 5: Don’t forget to rename the gallery. This will help homeowners see the specific type of projects you work on.

For example, Toronto, Ontario-based interlocking stone specialists Kaloutas Brothers have created curated photo galleries on their HomeStars profile. Their photo galleries showcase their amazing professional work in wood and composite decks, fences, and cement work as well as in interlock walkways and patios.

You can follow a similar process on the HomeStars for Pros app as well:

Step 1: Log into your HomeStars for Pros app. Locate the ‘galleries’ menu from the list of options. If you don’t have an app yet, download it here!

Step 2: Click on the + sign to create a new gallery. Click on the camera emoji on the bottom left to click pictures in real-time and upload them. Or you can click on the gallery emoji to start importing pictures from your camera roll.

You can rename your gallery, add captions as well as add more pictures to your gallery by sliding left on the selected gallery. If you wish, you can delete the gallery using the same move.

And voila!! Your gallery is live!!
