Handyman · Scope

One question to ask about a punch-list visit estimate

Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.

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

The line that gets replies

Is the list we wrote still the whole visit, or did you add items? Put $860 in the email so they know which punch-list visit you mean.

Included and left out

Included: the door that sticks, the three drywall dings, and the loose stair rail we listed. Left out: anything that needs a permit, including the panel question you asked about. The price is a half day for that list. A single tiny task does not get the same rate. Do not fold a permitted electrical job into a handyman list.

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.
