Cladding repair and replacement projects

| Lead type | Price range (USD) | What the price covers |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Exclusive project inquiry | $65–$175 | Cladding repair and replacement projects |

## Choose the work your team wants to win.

Use the customer's requested work to assess fit, then confirm the details during follow-up.

| Work type | Details to establish |
| --- | --- |
| Full replacement | Existing material, elevations, approximate area and finish choice |
| Section repairs | Affected panels, damage, material availability and access |
| Trim and fascia | Lengths, existing condition and adjoining surfaces |
| New installation | Building plans, wall preparation and construction schedule |

## Get the project details before the visit.

Capture the existing material, extent of work and desired finish. Confirm ownership and whether the project includes trim or other exterior work. Photos help establish the initial scope before measurement.

Check the original inquiry date, service area and available project details. Confirm who can approve the work and the customer's preferred contact time.

## Turn your close rate into a lead budget.

Scaffolding, removal, waste and preparation affect contribution. Track partial repairs separately from full replacements and include the estimate visit in acquisition cost.

Compare 10%, 20% and 30% lead-to-paid-job conversion in your budget. At $120 per lead, acquisition costs are $1,200, $600 and about $400 per paid job. Add estimating and follow-up costs to get the full acquisition cost.

| Budget scenario | Paid jobs per 100 leads | Lead cost per paid job at $120/lead |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10% close rate | 10 | $1,200 |
| 20% close rate | 20 | $600 |
| 30% close rate | 30 | $400 |

## Make the first conversation useful.

Measure the elevations and inspect the surfaces supporting the cladding. Agree removal, preparation and finishing details. Show the customer where the proposed work ends and any optional work begins.

## Review the opportunity. Then take the next step.

Check the current price, original intent age and ownership category in Matagi before buying. Match the opportunity to your service area, preferred work and available capacity.

Normal and Value leads have different purchase terms. Review prior access and the refund policy, then keep contact, appointment, quote and paid-job outcomes in your records.
