Decks · Hold a date

Ask which week to hold for a deck rebuild

Send this when they are close and the calendar is the remaining question. It does not replace the day-2, day-5, or day-10 notes.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

Name a real week

The inspector's footing visit sets the frame week. Boards come after that, not before the holes are signed off. Do not invent a deadline. Deck bids wait on footing inspections and on a composite color that has to be chosen before the order.

QuoteLasso does not take the payment

If you need money to hold the week, say what you need in your own words. QuoteLasso does not take deposits or payments. Do not screw new boards onto joists that are already soft.

If you send it from QuoteLasso

The default schedule is three emails, at 2, 5, and 10 days. Day 10 is the last one. You can move the dates. Add the estimate by typing it in, forwarding the message, or importing a spreadsheet. The customer sees your business name and the address followups@quotelasso.com. A reply comes to your inbox and the remaining follow-ups stop. QuoteLasso does not send texts. During the 14-day trial, due emails can send on their own. After that, Free is manual. Starter is $79/month and Pro is $149/month.

Which week should I hold for the deck rebuild?

Hi Brian,

If you want the deck rebuild on the books, tell me which week is real and I will tell you what I need to hold it. The estimate is still $11,800 and includes new footings, a ledger flashed to the house, and composite boards on the same footprint.

Thanks,
