Follow up on unsigned roof estimates

Every roof estimate that isn't signed gets a short, polite follow-up run until the homeowner decides, so jobs don't slip away during storm season.

Worth it if

You have more open estimates than you can personally chase.

Skip it if

Your sales team already works every open estimate on a schedule.

What gets set up

A planned run of texts and emails goes out after the estimate, stopping when the homeowner replies. Jobber includes automated quote follow-ups on its Connect plan; Zapier can build the same thing around other software. Claude writes messages that sound like you and answer common worries like financing or timing.

Who’s done it

Nobody has published results for this one yet, so this use case rests on my judgment. If you’ve done it, tell me how it went.

Why it matters

A roof is a big decision, and homeowners wait. Without follow-up, estimates go cold, especially when the next storm floods you with new leads.

How I estimated the hours

0.5 to 1.5 hrs a week: Following up on 8 to 15 open estimates a week at about 5 minutes each. Rounded down. The value is the roofs you win back.

Questions

A common one is day 2, day 5 and day 14, stopping when they reply. Then a person decides whether to call.

It can draft answers to common ones, like financing and timing, for a person to send. Keep pricing and insurance questions with your team.
