What to send while a punch-list visit waits on approval
Send this when the bid is stuck on another person, a board, or a permit. Ask what they still need from you, then wait.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Who is holding it
Whoever keeps adding items after the email is who blows the half-day.
What you can hand them
The price is $860 and includes the door that sticks, the three drywall dings, and the loose stair rail we listed. Handyman lists go quiet because each item feels small, and the trip charge only makes sense for the whole list. 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.

What does the approver need on the punch-list visit?
Hi Erin, If someone else still has to approve the punch-list visit, I can resend the $860 estimate in whatever form they need. Tell me what they ask for. I will not keep emailing while you wait on them. Thanks, Carl Jensen Jensen Handywork
