Angle 1 — Estimate follow-up
Reopen the bid that went quiet the moment a cheaper quote showed up.
A short text the day after the walkthrough that locks in the prep details, paint lines, and timing the homeowner said yes to. A voicemail that names the three decisions your estimate already answered so the competing quote has to compare apples to apples. A follow-up email that resurfaces the prep, the warranty, and the calendar — without sounding like you are chasing.
