What should I say when following up on an estimate nobody has signed?

Give them a reason to reply each time instead of a “just checking in” message. Reference something specific from the visit, such as the rusted air handler or the section of roof over the garage, so the homeowner knows a real person is on the other end.

A simple sequence: 24 hours later, text to confirm they got the PDF and ask whether any line item needs explaining. Day three, call and offer to walk the scope by phone. Day five, email financing terms or a photo of similar work you completed nearby. Day ten, ask whether to hold the crew slot or release it.
