Fence quotes sit for weeks. Follow up before the neighbor does.
A fence sale has a lot of waiting: the measure, the HOA, the deposit, the materials. Puffly keeps every waiting job in view so nobody falls through.
Where fence contracting company leads come from
Lumberyard and hardware store counters
Homeowners ask the desk who installs fences. A good relationship with the counter staff sends steady calls.
New homeowners with a dog or a pool
They just closed and want privacy or a safe yard right away. Realtors and closing paperwork often point them to you.
Neighbors of a finished install
A fresh fence on a street draws questions from everyone around it. That's the cheapest lead you'll get.
Storm and car damage
A blown-down section or a driver through the back fence. These are often insurance-linked repairs that need a fast quote.
What slow follow up costs a fence contracting company
Fences take a long time to buy. Homeowners get three quotes, wait on an HOA, and think about wood versus vinyl. If you go quiet during that stretch, the installer who checked in is the one who gets the deposit.
A pipeline that fits a fence contracting company
Puffly’s pipeline is yours to name. Here is one way a fence contracting company could lay it out.
- Inquiry inMaterial, height, and roughly how many feet, plus whether there's a gate.
- Measured on siteYou've walked the line, checked the property survey and marked the gate spots.
- Quote outA written price by linear foot, with gates and removal of the old fence broken out.
- Deposit and approvalsThey've put down a deposit and you're waiting on permit or HOA sign-off.
- Install scheduledMaterials are ordered and the crew has a set day, with locates called in.
Follow up moments worth a reminder
Quote out, homeowner waiting on the HOA to approve the style
"Hi Kelly, it's Dave with the fence crew. Any word from the HOA yet? If they need a drawing or a sample photo, I can send one today."
Deposit taken, but the vinyl panels are backordered
"Hi Mark, quick update. The panels are running a couple weeks behind. I'll text you the moment they arrive and lock in your install date. Thanks for hanging in with me."
Neighbor of a job you just finished asked what a fence would cost
"Hi Angela, thanks for stopping by while we were on Maple Court. I can measure your backyard this week and get you a written price. What day works?"
Puff, your AI teammate, can draft these messages and line up who to call next. Outreach waits for your approval unless you choose otherwise.
The shape of the year
Spring and early summer are usually the rush, with another push in fall before the ground freezes in cold areas. Because a fence sale takes weeks, use winter to quote early for spring installs.
