A CRM for fence and deck builders
Fence and deck jobs live or die on the estimate. You measure, price out materials, add a gate or two, and then wait while the homeowner thinks it over.
Review Monster's CRM gets that estimate out the same day, follows up for you, collects the deposit and keeps the build on the crew's schedule. It's free with every Review Monster plan and live in about 30 minutes.
The hard parts
Estimates with add-ons
Extra gates, a stain coat, haul-away of the old fence. Homeowners want to see what each one adds, and building that out by hand takes your evenings.
Quotes that go quiet
Most homeowners get three bids. The builder who follows up politely, without pestering, tends to get the job.
Material costs up front
You're buying lumber before the job starts. A deposit has to be in before you load the trailer.
How the CRM helps
Build the estimate from your price book and add extras like a second gate or staining as optional lines the homeowner can see priced out. They approve online.
A follow-up text or email goes out a few days after the estimate if it hasn't been approved.
Request a deposit on approval to cover materials, and take the balance when the build is done.
Send your agreement for signature from the job, and keep the signed copy on file.
Photos of the yard and the finished build stay on the job, ready for your gallery.
When the build is Done, the customer gets a review request by text and email.
A day with it
You measure a backyard Tuesday afternoon and send a cedar fence estimate, with staining as an optional line, before you leave the driveway.
Friday they haven't answered, so the CRM sends a friendly follow-up. They approve it with the stain that night and pay the deposit online.
The build goes on the crew's schedule for the following week, with the measurements and photos on the job.
When the last gate is hung, the crew takes finished photos, the balance is paid, and a review request goes out.
