Remodeling follow-up templates for long decisions.

Only text homeowners who opted in. Name the business and include the opt-out line in the first message.

Hi [First name], this is [Your name] with [Company]. Thanks for reaching out about your [kitchen / bathroom / addition]. I’ll call today to hear what you have in mind.
Reply STOP to opt out of texts.

Talking ranges early saves both of you a wasted visit. Use ranges your past jobs actually support.

Subject: Before we meet about your [room]

Hi [First name],

Thanks for the call. Before the visit, it may help to know that most [room] projects we build land between [low] and [high], depending mostly on [layout changes / cabinets / finishes].

If that fits what you had in mind, great. If not, tell me, and we can talk about what’s possible at your number.

Subject: What to have ready for [day]

Hi [First name],

Looking forward to [day] at [time]. A few things make the visit more useful:
- Photos or saved ideas you like
- Anything you already know you want to keep or change
- Anyone who’ll weigh in on the final call

No need to have it all figured out. That’s what the visit is for.

[Your name]

Send within a day. Use their words, not yours.

Subject: Your [room] ideas, in one place

Hi [First name],

Thanks for showing us around. Here’s what I heard:
- Must-haves: [list]
- Nice-to-haves: [list]
- Working budget: [range]
- Hoped-for timing: [timing]

Next step is [design drawings / a detailed proposal], which takes about [time]. Did I miss anything?

[Your name]

Hi [First name], the [room] proposal is a lot to read on your own. Want to set up 20 minutes, in person or by video, to go through it together? [booking link]

Use photos only with the past client’s permission.

Subject: A [room] close to what you described

Hi [First name],

These are from a [room] we finished in [area], similar in size to yours, with [shared feature]. [photos]

Not trying to rush you. It just helps to see the finished version of an idea like yours.

[Your name]

Offer only changes you’d actually build, and be honest about what each one gives up.

Subject: Options to fit your budget

Hi [First name],

If the proposal landed above where you want to be, here are a few ways to bring it in: [option 1], [option 2], or saving [part] for a later phase. Each has trade-offs, and I’ll be straight about them.

Want me to price any of these?

Remodels can sit for months while homeowners save, sell, or wait on family. Stay in touch without pushing.

Hi [First name], [Your name] at [Company] checking in. Is the [room] still on your list? No rush on our end. If your plans or budget have shifted, I’m glad to rework the proposal around them.

Great to hear, [First name]. Next steps: sign the agreement here [link], then we’ll set a selections meeting for [cabinets / tile / fixtures] and lock in a start window. I’ll call tomorrow to walk you through it.
