The 5-day reminder for a pergola install estimate
Day 5 is the second reminder. Assume they are busy. Do not add a discount or a deadline you do not mean.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
What changed since day 2
Nothing in the bid should change in this email. Footings and whether it ties to the house change the price. The stain is a small part. Pergola estimates sit with the HOA packet, or while someone decides if it should attach to the house.
Calendar or scope
Footings first, then the kit or the lumber. Attached to the house is a different flashing job than freestanding. HOA style rules decide more pergolas than the lumber price. Do not attach a pergola to the house in a follow-up rewrite without a new price.

Checking in on the pergola install estimate
Hi Felicia, Checking in on the pergola install estimate for $8,900. I am not changing the number. It still includes a freestanding cedar pergola on new footings, the size we staked. If the holdup is the calendar, tell me which week is real. Freestanding where we staked it, or do you want an attached version priced? Thanks, John Abebe Abebe Outdoor
