Handyman · What changed

Ask what changed on a punch-list visit

Send this if they hinted the work is different from the walkthrough. Revise the bid after you know the new scope.

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

What the old price covered

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.

Do not guess a new number

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. Is the list we wrote still the whole visit, or did you add items?

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.

Did the punch-list visit change?

Hi Erin,

Has the punch-list visit changed since I priced it at $860? If it has, tell me what is different and I will revise it.

Is the list we wrote still the whole visit, or did you add items?

Thanks,
