Priced by the foot. Won by the first callback.
Fence buyers text their footage to three contractors and shortlist whoever answers first with a real number. Your crew is set-in-concrete busy until dark.
The most quotable trade is also the most comparison-shopped
Fencing is the trade customers believe they can price themselves — “140 feet, one gate, cedar” — so they broadcast the same dimensions to every fence company the map suggests and let response time run the auction. The details that actually move the number (caliche digging, slope, tear-out, pool code on the gate hardware) surface later, at the site visit, but only the fast responders get a site visit at all. Every hour a footage text sits unanswered, the shortlist shrinks by one — usually you.
The calls you’re missing right now
Real questions, unanswered until somebody gets to a keyboard.
- “What would 140 feet of 6-foot cedar run with one gate?”
- “Wood or vinyl — what is the real cost difference?”
- “Do you haul away the old fence?”
- “My yard has a slope — does that change the price?”
- “Does a pool code gate cost more?”
- “How deep do you set the posts?”
Where to start, and what to add
In order. Most fence contractors buy the first one and nothing else for a while — that is the intended way to do it, not a smaller version of it.

Business Text Line$249/mo · No OSQR plan requiredThe footage text answered in minutes from your per-foot rates — with the honest caveats about digging and slope you always give — and the site visit captured while the other two companies are still on voicemail.

Website Chat$249/mo · No OSQR plan requiredConverts the researchers comparing wood against vinyl at 9pm: your material pricing, your post-setting standards, your haul-off policy — then captures the yard’s details for the visit.
The fence bid, line by honest line.
Two hundred fifteen feet of cedar at your rate, the caliche allowance flagged as estimated, the pool-code gate hardware called out, haul-off included — every line labeled either standard rate or estimate, which is exactly the conversation that wins fence work.

We do not have a fencing case study and will not stage one. What exists for inspection: the live assistant here, the founder’s construction company using these tools, and a demo built from your rate card before any decision.
Straight answers for fence contractors
Customers text exact footage. Does it just multiply?
It quotes from your per-foot rates for the configuration described and attaches your standard caveats — digging conditions, slope, tear-out — so the number is credible without being naive. The firm bid still comes from the site visit it books.
How does it handle the caliche and rock question?
With your policy, stated identically every time — an allowance per post, an hourly clause, however you run it. In hard-digging country the contractor whose rock policy was in writing first wins the argument that never happens.
Does it know pool-code gate requirements?
It carries the guidance you give it — self-closing, self-latching, height — attributed as your standard practice with a “your city inspector has the final word” honesty note. It informs; it does not play inspector.
Wood versus vinyl arguments — whose side is it on?
Yours. It gives the comparison you wrote — upfront cost, maintenance, lifespan in your climate — and your recommendation logic, instead of internet folklore. Consistency here quietly sells your expertise.
And when it does not know?
It says it does not know and hands the thread to you with everything gathered so far. An honest handoff after collecting the footage and photos is a better salesperson than a wrong guess.
