Deck Quotes That Chase Themselves.
You spend an afternoon measuring a yard, pricing composite vs. Trex, and sending a detailed estimate — and then silence. The homeowner meant to respond. But they got busy, the quote moved down their inbox, and they called someone else who followed up. Foreman runs automatic follow-up on every deck quote and new lead you get, by text and email, until you get a yes or a no. It's a follow-up worker built for deck builders, not another tool you have to manage.
Deck builders who follow up within the first hour of a homeowner inquiry are dramatically more likely to close the job. The challenge isn't willingness — it's that following up manually, on every open quote, while running a crew is structurally impossible without a system.
Lead-response dynamic — illustrative of the problem, not a Scaler client result.
A deck quote left un-chased is a $15,000–$40,000 job that dies in a homeowner's inbox.
- 01You're managing crew, material orders, and permit coordination. Following up on every open estimate by hand simply doesn't happen — especially in season.
- 02A homeowner who asked for a deck quote is still in the market for one. They're not buying from a competitor because of price — they're buying from whoever follows up.
- 03Web and referral leads that sit for a few hours go cold. By the time you call back, they've already met with two other contractors.
- 04There's no system tracking which quotes are still open and which have gone quiet for a week. The follow-up lives in memory, and memory gets crowded.
- 05Every un-chased deck quote is margin you already did the estimating work to earn, walking out the door to a competitor who sent one more text.
Live in days, not months.

Hand off
When a homeowner is ready to move forward, Foreman hands you a warm lead with the full context, so you close without replaying the whole conversation.

- Open estimates chased automatically — wood, composite, Trex, pergola, and all deck types.
- Instant replies to new leads, so you're first before they've started comparing bids.
- Follow-up that references the actual project — square footage, material, timeline — not generic drip copy.
- Clear visibility into which quotes are open, which are being followed up, and which are decided.
- More jobs closed from the exact same pipeline, because none go quiet without a chase.
