Chimney estimate follow-ups
Twenty examples for a chimney repair, using $4,600 as a made-up price. Ten are the schedule. Ten are for a date, a smaller job, approval, or a later check-back. Chimney estimates stall on whether this is a cap-and-crown job or a reline they did not budget.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Where this bid stalls
Chimney estimates stall on whether this is a cap-and-crown job or a reline they did not budget. A partner often hears 'chimney' and assumes the whole stack is being rebuilt.
What the example price means
Roof access and the height of the stack set the repair price. A reline is a different project. Included: a new cap, crown repair, and tuckpointing the top courses above the roof. Left out: a flue reline, which is only needed if the camera shows the liner is open. Do not sell a reline in the follow-up if you have not inspected the flue.
When to send them
If they use the fireplace, say whether it can be used while you are on the roof. A winter repair has a real date. A unused flue can wait. The default schedule is still day 2, day 5, and day 10. Day 10 is the last email. Same-day notes are optional. The customer sees your business name and the address followups@quotelasso.com. A reply comes to your inbox and the remaining follow-ups stop.
