What you hear back
Celia & Hal Marsh opened it
Opened three times over the weekend, once on a laptop. Most of the time went on the prep and the price.
The text it writes for you
Hi Celia, it’s Joel with the paint bid. Happy to bring a few color chips by, or explain what goes into the prep. Can hold a May start for you if that helps.
Written to read like a normal check-in. It never mentions what they looked at.
Timing
Why timing matters in painting.
Two paint bids for the same house can look alike until someone asks why one costs more. The answer is in the prep, and it’s easier to give on the phone than on paper. Painting season books up, so the bid that gets a call while they’re still deciding is the one that gets the start date.
