Email 1
Clarify the problem
Start with the issue the homeowner is already worried about, such as leaks, storm damage, missing shingles, or estimate confusion.
Email 2
Reduce uncertainty
Explain what an inspection, estimate review, or follow-up conversation actually looks like so the next step feels less awkward.
Email 3
Show proof

Email 4
Ask for the next step
