The morning after a windstorm, your inbox is not the only thing that lights up; your form does too. The people filling it in are stressed, with missing panels and an insurance call ahead. Alongside them are customers planning an upgrade next spring. Treat them identically and you lose either the urgent job or the thoughtful one.
Start by asking why
The first question is "What is going on?": replacing all siding, repairing a section, storm damage, or just exploring. Storm damage gets a short, calm path: where on the house, how many sections, and when it happened. Planned upgrades get a longer path about style, size and timing.
Because stressed people skim, keep the storm branch to four or five fields.
Information a siding estimate needs
- ✓Type of home — one story, two story, with gables
- ✓Current siding — vinyl, wood, fiber cement, unknown
- ✓Scope — whole house, one wall, section repair
- ✓Damage details — for storm cases, where and how many panels
- ✓Timing — urgent, this season or planning
What we set up
We build the form on your estimate page, route submissions to your email and add a confirmation for the visitor. For storm requests the confirmation could say that a person reads these first. Photo uploads are scoped separately, though many contractors ask visitors to reply with pictures.
We add spam filtering so your inbox stays usable.
Seasonal habits
- ✓Spring and fall — promote planned replacement with samples
- ✓After a storm — place a banner on the home page
- ✓Monthly — check that the form email arrives
- ✓Annually — refresh finished-home photos
What to say about insurance
Homeowners ask whether you work with insurance claims. If you do, say it in one honest sentence on the page; if you do not, say that you can provide documentation of the work. We never write claims promises for you, but the page should answer the question people have in their head.
What to expect, honestly
- ✓We do not process insurance claims — your crew and the homeowner handle that
- ✓Photo uploads are scoped separately — ask us if you need them
- ✓We do not display prices — costs depend on the house, not a number on a page
