GoList news & guides

What should deck and fence contractors include in a quote request form?

A useful quote form asks for the project address, purpose, approximate dimensions, material preferences and site photographs. Separate a new build from repairs. Explain that a site visit is needed to confirm layout, ground conditions and the final scope before issuing a firm proposal.

What would make the information more useful?

Ask about intended use, approximate dimensions and existing structures before collecting decorative preferences. Let customers upload site photographs securely. The form should start a useful conversation, with a site survey confirming measurements and the final construction proposal.

How can you put this into practice locally?

Give the information a named owner within the business. That person can check changes, remove expired offers and keep replies consistent. Use customer questions to improve the description, and assess whether inquiries fit the work you want to provide.
