Scott dives into the entire estimating process—from the moment you pull up to a customer’s property to presenting a polished quote that builds trust and closes deals. Whether you’re new to the estimating game or looking to tighten up your process, this episode is full of practical tips that’ll set you apart from the “Chuck in a Truck” competitors.

Scott shares how to:

  3. Use checklists to avoid costly mistakes and ensure no detail is missed.

  4. Help customers visualize their project with simple, creative tools.

  5. Set clear expectations for your process, timeline, and pricing.

    This episode isn’t just about getting the job done—it’s about presenting your value, standing out as a professional, and creating a smooth, stress-free process for both you and your clients.
