Your deck staining estimate
Hey Sarah — just circlin’ back on the deck staining estimate. Happy to answer anything, or if the timing’s changed, no worries — just let me know. —Mike

I’ll stop bugging you after this one — if the project’s off, all good; if it’s still on, I’ve got room in the schedule week after next.

9 aug – 5 sep · every estimate here, and every nudge it has left
Neil Barrow$450
Pressure washing — driveway and walkway
Neil Barrow, $450, pressure washing. Sent Saturday 1 August, before this window opens, so the first 2 nudges are off the left of it. The last went Thursday 13 August and you marked it lost on Monday 17 August.
Marcus Bell$6,450
Cedar fence replacement — 60 linear ft
Marcus Bell, $6,450, cedar fence replacement. Sent Sunday 9 August. All 3 nudges have gone — 11, 14 and 21 August — and nothing more is booked, because 3 is the cap.
Tom Alvarez$6,200
Full exterior repaint — house and garage
Tom Alvarez, $6,200, full exterior repaint. Sent Thursday 13 August. One nudge went on Saturday 15 August and you marked it won on Tuesday 18 August.
Priya Raman$3,000
Interior trim and doors — whole ground floor
Priya Raman, $3,000, interior trim and doors. Sent Tuesday 18 August. One nudge went on Thursday 20 August, she replied on Friday 21 August, and the two still booked — Monday 24 August and Monday 31 August — were cancelled where they stood.
Sarah Whitfield$4,800
Deck staining — 320 sq ft, two coats
Sarah Whitfield, $4,800, deck staining. Sent Thursday 20 August. The first nudge went this morning; two more are booked, for Tuesday 25 August and Tuesday 1 September.
Ray Webb$1,850
Roof patch — north slope, two valleys
Ray Webb, $1,850, roof patch. Logged today. 3 nudges are booked — Monday 24 August, Thursday 27 August and Thursday 3 September. None has gone yet.
Sends 08:30–18:00 local, never Sunday — the shaded columns are the Sundays. Hollow rings are nudges that have not gone yet, and a reply cancels every one still standing.
Six of Mike’s estimates, drawn to scale. The real board draws every one of them — a lane grows by adding a row.
how it works
Who it went to, what the job is, what you quoted, and the day it went out. That’s the whole setup — nothing has to connect to your email, and nothing changes about how you send estimates.
BCC intake — not built yet
Short, personally-signed emails on day 2, 5 and 12 — your words, your sign-off, all in one thread in their inbox. Three max, ever.
The instant a reply to one of our nudges lands, the sequence stops and the reply is in your real inbox. You take it from there; we stay out of the thread for good.
Answer the estimate you sent yourself, or pick up the phone, and we can’t see it — mark the job won or lost and the rest stop the same way.
the rules
A guard runs on every single send. It can’t be talked out of any of these.
Stops the second they reply to us
Every reply that reaches us cancels the rest — even one landing five seconds before a scheduled nudge. A reply to your own estimate thread, or a phone call, we can't see: mark those won or lost.
Three nudges max. Ever.
Then it goes quiet on its own. There is no fourth email in the product.
Business hours only
Sends land 8:30am–6pm in your local time. Never on Sunday.
“No thanks” means no
Plain-language refusals and the unsubscribe link are honored in seconds, permanently.
Signed and addressed
Every email carries your name, your sign-off and your real business address. CAN-SPAM, done properly.
Your words, not ours
Reads hand-typed because it is your words — templates you can edit, zero marketing energy.
Jobber charges $139/mo before it will follow up on a quote.
This is $39.
And it works alongside whatever you quote with —
WordJoistQuickBookseven Jobber Coreplans
Founding
$19 /mo
locked for life
Ten seats, and the tenth is the last one — the cap is enforced in the database, not on this page, so when they’re taken this card comes down. It’s a trade, not a discount: half price for life, and you tell us what’s broken while it’s still cheap to fix.
Standard
$39 /mo
the whole product
Fourteen days free, and we don’t take a card — there’s no checkout yet to take one with. We’ll be in touch before your fourteen days are up; nothing stops without us telling you first.
Busy
$79 /mo
above 60 quotes a month
Nothing counts your quotes today and nothing will until somebody actually needs this. The price is here so it’s published before anyone reaches it, rather than sprung on them after.
SMS channel
+$20 /mo
coming later
We’ll add texting when it can follow the same rules email does. Not before — and the price covers registering you with the carriers, which is a real errand somebody has to run.
None of these is charging anyone today — Founding and Standard run a fourteen-day free trial that takes no card, and Busy and SMS are published so you can see where this goes. The prices are here to be read, not paid.
questions
No. Two or three short, personally-signed notes about an estimate the customer asked for, each with a working unsubscribe and your real address. If they say “no thanks,” we stop forever.
It's our recommended starting point, not magic. Front-loaded, capped at three, adjustable per quote. As real reply data accumulates, we'll publish what actually works.
It's forwarded straight to your inbox and the sequence stops instantly — even a reply landing five seconds before a scheduled nudge. You answer from your own email, like a person, and we stay out of the thread from then on.
Replies to the nudges we send — those come back to us and stop everything on the spot. What we can't see is a reply to the original estimate you sent from your own inbox, or a phone call, or a yes in the driveway. Mark those won or lost on the board and the remaining nudges stop just the same. We'd rather tell you here than have you find out on day 12.
Yes. It follows up on estimates made anywhere — Word, Joist, QuickBooks, Jobber. You log it in 30 seconds; nothing has to talk to anything.
You mean to. Then it's day 5 and you're on a roof.
You quote the job. We handle the silence.
Fourteen days free and no card. The founding price is $19/mo locked for life, in exchange for a 20-minute call in your first month and a testimonial we can use; standard is $39. Neither is charged yet, and we’ll be in touch before your fourteen days are up.
