Fence estimate software

SprigDeal is estimate and follow-up software for fence contractors who quote privacy, picket, chain-link and vinyl fence installs and repairs. Start from a ready-made fence estimate, adjust it to the job, send the customer a private link and let SprigDeal follow up automatically until they accept or decline.

How to win more fence customers with SprigDeal

1. Quote by linear foot with gates and removal on their own lines, so customers can compare your price easily.
2. Send the estimate right after measuring, before the neighbor’s contractor gets there.
3. Follow up after 3–5 days and ask whether HOA or neighbor approval is still pending.

Start from a fence estimate template

New fence estimates in SprigDeal open with this starter template. Every line, quantity and price is editable; the amounts are examples, not price recommendations.

Install fence posts, panels and site cleanup.

What should a fence estimate include?

• Linear footage and fence height.
• Material: wood species, vinyl, aluminum or chain-link.
• Posts, concrete footings and gates, with gate hardware as its own line.
• Removal and disposal of the old fence.
• Who calls in utility locates and who confirms the property line.

When to follow up on a fence estimate

Fence customers often wait on a neighbor, an HOA approval or a survey. Follow up after 3–5 days and ask whether any approval is still pending. In SprigDeal you set the follow-up date per estimate, and the reminder email is cancelled automatically if the customer decides first.

How SprigDeal works for a fence business, step by step

This is the complete workflow, from the first quote to the customer’s decision. Every step works in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so you can quote on site or at the office.

1. Create the fence estimate

• Choose the customer, or add a new one with name, email and phone.
• Pick Fence Services as the trade and the estimate opens with the “privacy fence installation” template above. Edit, add or remove line items with quantity, unit and price.
• Apply tax, a discount and a deposit percentage. Your defaults come from your workspace settings and SprigDeal totals everything automatically.
• Write the scope of work, exclusions and terms, set how long the price is valid and add the project address. The address only appears on customer links and PDFs if you turn that on.

2. Send it to the customer

• Share privately emails the customer a private link to a mobile-friendly estimate. Replies go to your business email.
• Download PDF saves a branded PDF with every line, the totals, deposit, exclusions and terms, ready to print or attach to your own email. On a phone you can also share the PDF directly.
• Duplicate copies an estimate for a similar fence job, so repeat quotes take seconds.

3. Monitor every estimate you sent

• Each estimate has a status: Draft, Sent, Viewed, Accepted or Declined. It changes to Viewed automatically the first time the customer opens the link, so you know they have seen your price.
• The pipeline shows every estimate in a column by status, and the overview shows won revenue, open estimate value, acceptance rate and active estimates.
• Analytics breaks down revenue by service, and the customer list shows total and repeat customers and quotes in progress.
• Search and filter estimates by status or service to find any fence quote in seconds.

4. The customer decides online

• The customer opens the link on any device, with no app or account, reviews every line and can download the PDF.
• They tap Approve estimate or Decline estimate. The decision is recorded for that exact version, and you get an email right away.
• Need to change the price after sending? Create a new revision as a draft and send it again; approvals always refer to the version the customer saw.

Want to see it as your customer does? Open the sample estimate and try the PDF and approval buttons; nothing is saved.

5. Follow up without chasing

• Every estimate gets a follow-up date, set by default from your workspace’s follow-up delay.
• If the customer has not decided by then, SprigDeal emails one polite follow-up with the link to the estimate.
• If they accept or decline first, the follow-up is cancelled automatically. You can also snooze it two days or mark it done.
