Reviews
Project-completion reviews carry max weight. Punch-list + photos = gold.
Hi :first_name: — your :project: is complete and looking fantastic! 🏡 If our crew did great work, a 30-sec review helps other homeowners find us: :link:. Enjoy!
Why it works: Ask right at the reveal, when pride in the finished project is highest. Sign it personally.
Congrats on your new :project:, :first_name:! 🎉 A big investment, and we're honored you trusted us with it. If the crew delivered, would you share a quick review? :link:
Why it works: Big remodels are your highest-LTV jobs — reviews here justify the price for the next big project.
Hi :first_name: — done on schedule and on budget, just like we promised 👍 If that reliability mattered, a quick review helps others worried about contractors: :link:.
Why it works: "On time and on budget" is the rarest, most valuable contractor review — homeowners fear the opposite.
Hi :first_name: — thanks for trusting :company: with your project! We'd love to know how we did — a 30-sec review helps others choose us: :link:. Welcome!
Why it works: A strong first-project review shows prospects you deliver quality and follow-through.
Hi :first_name: — hope the space was left spotless and ready to enjoy. If our crew was respectful and tidy throughout, a quick review reassures others: :link: 🙏
Why it works: Homeowners dread messy, disruptive crews. Reviews about a clean, respectful jobsite convert cautious prospects.
Hey :first_name: — so glad we could bring your vision to life! 🎨 If the finished :project: matches what you imagined, a quick review helps others dream big: :link:.
Why it works: Reviews about nailing the customer's vision sell your design/craftsmanship to the next homeowner.
Hi :first_name: — your project's backed by our warranty, so you're covered for the long haul 👍 If that peace of mind matters, would you share a quick review? :link:
Why it works: Warranty reviews reassure prospects worried a contractor will disappear after the check clears.
Hey :first_name: — thanks for having us back for another project! Means the world 🙌 If we delivered again, a quick review helps others trust us too: :link:.
Why it works: Repeat-project reviews are powerful proof — homeowners rarely rehire a contractor they didn't love.
Hi :first_name: — no worries if my last note got buried! If you're still enjoying your :project:, a 30-sec review would really help us: :link:. Last nudge, promise 🙂
Why it works: A single soft follow-up recovers 20-30% of non-responders. Reference their specific project.
Hi :first_name: — thanks again for choosing :company:! Quick favor — a Google review takes 30 seconds and helps us a ton: :link:. 🏡
Why it works: Short, one link. Use it when the homeowner already loves the finished result.
Review Responses
Timeline slips + change-order disputes = top negatives. Own them.
"12-week project turned into 18. Kept saying 'next week' every week. Lost faith by month 4." :first_name: — you're right, "next week" updates erode trust when they're not accurate. We should've been upfront earlier about the full timeline impact. Call me: :owner_phone:, I want to understand where we fell short and make it right.
Why it works: Own the communication failure. "Next week" dishonesty is the real grievance, not the delay itself.
Use template "Dave's crew treated our house like it was their own. Quality work, honest pricing, daily communication. Would hire again." :first_name: — "treated your house like their own" is the review line we aim for 🏡 Dave's crew takes that personally. Tell friends who are thinking about a reno — we're booking for :season:.
Why it works: Culture-focused review = brand moat. Public response reinforces "treat your home like our own" promise.
Surveys
Mid-project + post-project + anniversary surveys.
Hi :first_name: — we're at the midpoint of your :project_type:. 5 Qs: communication, crew professionalism, mess management, timeline transparency, overall feel. 2 min. :survey_link:
Why it works: Catches problems mid-project, gives time to fix. Pre-empts "I was frustrated the whole time" in final reviews.
Use template Hi :first_name: — 1 week since wrap. 8 Qs: design, build quality, communication, cleanup, timeline, budget, subcontractors, would-you-refer. 5 min. Your honest take shapes our next project.
Why it works: Longer survey warranted for big projects. Detailed answers = content for case studies + process improvement.
Pulse Surveys
Weekly during-project pulse.
Hi :first_name: — week 3 check. How's the process feel, 1-10? Reply a number 🏡
Why it works: Under 7 = PM calls within 2 hrs. Catches frustration before it calcifies. Critical for 8+ week projects.
Use template :first_name: — 2 weeks post-completion. Any punch-list items still bothering you? Reply 👍 or 👎.
Why it works: Catches lingering issues under warranty. 👎 = crew dispatched within 48 hrs.
Referrals
Realtor + designer partnerships + neighbor referrals = 70%+ of new business.
:first_name: — glad the kitchen turned out 🏡 Know any friends thinking about a reno? We book up fast for next season. $500 credit per referral who signs.
Why it works: Post-project = peak satisfaction + storytelling to friends. $500 credit is high-value but small vs. $80K ticket.
Use template Hi :designer_name: — we sub for 4 :area: designers on remodel/build execution. Clean communication, photo-ready completion, $500 referral bonus per signed project. Quick call? :calendar:
Why it works: Designers refer clients who can afford remodels — highest LTV segment. $500 bonus + clean execution = partner stickiness.
Thank-Yous
Personal, written-by-owner notes carry weight at this ticket size.
:first_name: — :referred_name: just signed a :project_type: with us thanks to your intro 🙌 $500 credit to your account. That means a lot — real trust.
Why it works: Within 1 hr of contract signing. Big-ticket credit acknowledgment. "Real trust" = validation.
Use template Hi :first_name: — finished projects leave something behind: a story, a space, a trust. Thanks for letting us into yours. Drop by anytime — if you ever need a hand, we're close.
Why it works: Owner voice, personal, zero-ask. Gets framed and kept. Turns customers into lifelong advocates.
Reminders
Daily progress, crew arrival, inspection dates, payment milestones.
Hi :first_name: — crew's arriving 7:30a tomorrow. Trades today: framer + electrician. Today's focus: rough-in. Photo update end of day 📸
Why it works: Customer knows what's happening + when. Cuts calls-for-updates by 80%. Daily photo promise = trust anchor.
Use template :first_name: — city inspection Thu 10-2p. Someone needs to be home. We're there 30 min early. Reply if timing's tight.
Why it works: Missed inspection = project delay. Day-before + conflict ask = 95%+ attendance rate.
Marketing
Seasonal booking urgency, design consultation promos, financing options.
Hi :first_name: — spring remodel slots book 4-6 months ahead. Reserve yours by :date: to start in April/May. Free design consultation included. :book_link:
Why it works: Seasonal capacity reality + free consult hook. High-intent leads.
Use template Hi :first_name: — interest-rate-friendly financing available on remodel projects. We partner with :lender: for 0% APR × 18 mo + we'll comp $500 in design fees. :book_link:
Why it works: Financing removes the #1 reason remodels get delayed. $500 design-fee waiver = warm-lead magnet.
Outreach
Design inspiration, project tour invites, anniversary check-ins.
Hi :first_name: — just wrapped a kitchen in :neighborhood: (see photos). If you'd like to tour in person, we host open-house days the first Sat of each month. Reply to reserve a spot.
Why it works: In-person tours = highest-intent lead source. Soft RSVP = warm pipeline.
Use template Hi :first_name: — 5 years since we wrapped your :project_type:. Any lingering concerns? Free courtesy check-up if so. No ask, just checking in.
Why it works: Long-tail QA + loyalty. Catches warranty issues + positions you for next project.
ProspectingNEW
Interior designers, realtors, architects, financial planners.
Hi :designer_first_name: — we execute for 5 :area: interior designers on remodel/build. Your vision, our craft. $500 per referred signed project. 15 min? :calendar:
Why it works: Designers can't build. You can. Clean complementary partnership, $500 bounty + delivery = relationship glue.
Use template Hi :realtor_first_name: — we partner with 6 :area: realtors on pre-sale renos + post-purchase remodels. $500 per referred project. Photos + timeline tracking your client can share. 15 min? :calendar:
Why it works: Realtors need trusted remodelers to close deals + help post-sale clients. $500 + shareable updates = win-win.
