The problem
A homeowner with a fence blown down and a dog getting loose won't wait for you to finish a job
Fence inquiries are seasonal and weather-driven. After a big storm, your phone rings nonstop but you're already booked solid on repairs. Spring through fall, everyone wants a privacy fence or vinyl replacement. When you're on the job site setting posts in concrete or nailing pickets, picking up the phone is not happening. The homeowner getting three estimates from Angi will go with whoever answers first.
- 88% of callers getting fence estimates won't leave a voicemail and will call the next contractor
- After a major storm, you could lose 10-15 repair jobs in a single week to competitors who answer
- A full-time office person costs $3,000+/month but your call volume is seasonal and unpredictable
- Every estimate request a competitor answers first is a job worth $3,000+ that you will never see

How Fence Companies Use Jodie
Storm Damage Emergency
The situation: A homeowner wakes up to find their privacy fence flattened across the yard after overnight storms. Their dog can get out and they need someone today.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers right away, asks how many sections are down, what style the fence is, whether there are pets or kids at risk, and gets the address. You get a text with the details so you can schedule the repair between existing jobs.
Mid-Installation Call
The situation: You're halfway through a 200-foot cedar privacy fence, setting posts in concrete with your crew, when a new inquiry comes in for a full backyard fence and gate.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the call, asks about the fence style, approximate linear footage, whether they need a gate, and when they want the work done. You get the details by text when you break for lunch.
New Privacy Fence Estimate
The situation: A homeowner calls wanting an estimate for a new backyard fence. They have measured the property line at roughly 180 feet and want cedar board-on-board with a double gate. They are getting three estimates.
Jodie handles it: Jodie asks about the fence style, total footage, whether old fencing needs removing, any HOA height restrictions, and side access for equipment. You get the details by text so you can arrange a site visit or provide a ballpark quickly.
After-Hours Property Line Concern
The situation: A homeowner calls at 7pm because their fence is leaning badly into the neighbor's yard and they are worried it will fall overnight. They want someone to take a look first thing.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, asks about the fence condition, how many sections are affected, and how urgent the situation is. The message is waiting for you so you can call back first thing in the morning and book a visit.
