Explain the lead time on a roof replacement

Send this when the holdup is the wait before work can start, not whether they liked the price.

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

What sets the date

A leaking roof cannot wait for spring. A dry replacement can move a few weeks without pretending the price expires Friday. One person usually wants the full replacement, and someone else in the house wants to know if a repair would hold.

Do not skip the wait

Do not offer a discount on a roof that still needs the decking looked at. Most of a roof number is tear-off labor and the shingle grade, not a fee added at the end.

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.

When the roof replacement can start

Hi Maria,

The roof replacement estimate is $12,800. The start date depends on this: A leaking roof cannot wait for spring. A dry replacement can move a few weeks without pretending the price expires Friday.

If you want it, tell me and I will line up the next step. I will not start before that is set.

Thanks,
Alex Rivera
