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.

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.
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.
