Starting point
For trade service requests, the fencing and decking installer offered little more than an email address on the contact page. Notes arrived in every shape, most missing the basics.

Repairing the opening step of trade service requests
A job file from a fencing and decking installer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana: what the site did before, what we built in 10 working days, and what the office does differently now.

01 Existing conditions
Where the site started, and what it cost the office
The problem
With trade service requests, the inbox dictated the pace: every inquiry needed a clarifying reply before real work could start. On full days, clarification was the work.
02 As built
What we built
A rebuilt inquiry form now asks for trade required, property ZIP code and access notes up front. Each submission arrives in a tidy email format, carries a clear category label and sets out a scheduling call from the relevant trade team as the next step.

Where this sits in the plan
03 Programme
How long it took
10 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover.
04 As handed over
What changed
When it comes to trade service requests, staff can act on the first message instead of the third. The walkthrough shows a cleaner handover while keeping clear that an inquiry does not become a booking on submission.
Our replies to trade service requests start with answers instead of questions. That is the whole improvement, and it is not a small one.

Questions about this project
How long did this project take?
10 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The clock started once the client had approved the content, so the staff review and the handover sit inside that time rather than after it.
Which parts of the plan did this use?
The build used purpose-specific fields, readable notifications, clear response expectations. Those sit under a quote request tool built for the trades (on every plan) and every enquiry lands where your team already works (on every plan).
Why is the business not named?
Client case studies are anonymized on purpose. The client is described as a fencing and decking installer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the quote is from Brenda Renshaw, call handling lead, used with permission.
Can you do the same for fencing & garage door contractors?
Yes. The same approach is part of a managed plan from $127 a month, with the $697 build fee invoiced only after launch. On a demo call we show the pages and forms your trade would get before you commit.
