Paving estimate follow-ups
Twenty examples for a asphalt driveway, using $6,700 as a made-up price. Ten are the schedule. Ten are for a date, a smaller job, approval, or a later check-back. Paving estimates sit until the weather window, or until an overlay bid shows up cheaper than a mill-and-fill.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Where this bid stalls
Paving estimates sit until the weather window, or until an overlay bid shows up cheaper than a mill-and-fill. Drainage is the question the person who watches the puddle will ask.
What the example price means
Depth and the mill are the job. A thin overlay is a different, shorter-lived bid. Included: milling the failed asphalt and a new surface at the depth we marked. Left out: regrading the yard for drainage, and a concrete apron. Do not overlay a driveway that is already pumping water through the cracks.
When to send them
Asphalt plants and temperature decide the week. An overlay on a base that has failed will look cheaper and fail again. 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.
Questions
How many paving follow-ups should I send?

Can I text a asphalt driveway follow-up?
Only if you already text that customer. Paste the text sample yourself. QuoteLasso does not send it. Mill-and-fill, or price the low spot?
