For painting contractors
A painting lead is a big ticket compared against three other quotes, and the customer usually decides who is in the running before anyone has priced anything. ReplyThemAll makes sure that is you.
Painting is one of the most quoted trades in home services. Customers ask several companies by habit. Being third to respond does not mean being third in line — it often means not being considered, because the first two already booked walkthroughs.
Peeling, chalking, previous coats, stucco versus lap siding, how many stories. The paint is the cheap part; the preparation is the job. A number given without knowing prep condition is a number you will either lose on or lose the customer over.
Pre-sale repaints, move-in dates, an event. Those customers are far more likely to book and far less patient, and they look exactly like the ones who are casually browsing until somebody asks.
A real request of the kind you get, and the reply that goes out before you have seen it.
Need the exterior of our house painted, two story, probably around 2,400 sq ft. Some of the trim is peeling. Listing it this summer.
Peeling trim on a pre-sale repaint is the part that decides the schedule — it needs proper scraping and priming or it shows through within a season, and buyers notice. On a two-story of that size I would want to see it before pricing. When are you hoping to list? That tells me whether we are working backwards from a date.
Exterior work is weather-bound: it clusters into the dry, mild stretches of spring and early autumn, and in those windows every painter in the metro is quoting the same customers. Interior work fills winter and is far less price-sensitive because the customer is not comparing against a queue. Running through both is the real-estate cycle, which produces the most valuable leads of the year — pre-sale repaints have a hard deadline, a motivated owner, and almost no tolerance for a company that takes two days to reply.
Sign in through the marketplace itself. We never ask for your password.
Services, area, price ranges, and the questions you always ask. This is what makes the replies yours.
Start with replies held for your approval. Turn that off once you trust it — most people do within a week.
Every lead gets a reply in seconds, day or night, whether you are on a roof or asleep.
One extra job pays for hundreds of leads. That is the whole argument.
No, unless you insist. It gathers size, stories and prep condition and points toward a walkthrough, because a blind exterior number is the one that ends in an argument.
Yes, and for painting it usually should — a photo of the trim tells you more about the job than three paragraphs of description.
It asks about the listing date. That single question separates a deadline-driven customer who will book quickly from one who is still deciding whether to do it at all.
Set it in your profile and it will tell exterior enquiries when you resume rather than going quiet — those customers are still worth having in spring.
It offers a window and never books a slot you have not opened. Scheduling stays entirely yours.
Set it up once and stop losing jobs to whoever typed faster.
