Totally understand wanting to think through the investment. If it helps, I can break down the estimate line by line so you can see exactly what is included and where the value is coming from. Happy to do that whenever it is helpful.
Keeps the conversation consultative instead of defensive.

Hi [First Name], just wanted to touch base because roof damage can get worse quickly if weather rolls in again. If you want to move forward or talk through timing, we can help you map out the next step.
Use carefully and only when the urgency is real.

Hi [First Name], I wanted to send one last note regarding the estimate we provided. No pressure at all, but if you are still comparing options or have questions, we are happy to help. If now is not the right time, that is completely okay too. We appreciate the opportunity either way.
This gives closure while keeping goodwill intact.
