Thanks for calling Boundary Fence Co. Are you looking at a new fence install or a repair?
New privacy fence, the old one is falling down.
Got it. Roughly how many linear feet, and what material are you thinking — wood, vinyl, or aluminum?
About 180 feet. Cedar if the price is right.
Thanks. How many gates do you want, and does the ground slope or have any obstructions like roots or a retaining wall?
One double gate. There is a slope in the back corner.
Noted — we will account for the slope on the estimate. Do you need old fence tear-out and haul-away as well?
Yes please.
Perfect. I can book a free on-site measure this week. Address, name and best number?
5 Shady Oak Ln, Renee Cho, 555-0143.
Booked: free measure Thursday at 1:00 PM at 5 Shady Oak Ln. Confirmation is on the way.
Industry context
How fencing work actually comes in
Fencing mixes seasonal installs, storm repairs and a steady flow of commercial and pool-code work.
Repairs & storm damage
Leaning posts, storm-damaged panels and gates that need fast, small-ticket response.
Commercial & pool code
Schools, HOAs, commercial perimeters and pool safety fencing with code and inspection requirements.
Fence buyers gather several quotes, and installs are weather-sensitive. The contractor who measures first and follows up wins, while repairs need an answer today.
Praktivo captures the linear feet, gates and terrain, books the measure and keeps the bid moving.

Estimates are easy to give and easy to lose without follow-up.
Common leaks in fencing businesses
- Season calls ringing out while the crew is installing.
- Form and ad leads waiting a day for a reply.
- Estimates sent and never followed up.
- Repair calls treated as low priority and lost.
- Commercial and pool-code inquiries not answered fast.
- Past customers never re-contacted for gates or additional runs.
Illustrative: the yard that went quiet
- Week 1Homeowner requests quotes from three fence companies
- Week 2Two measure; one never calls back
- Week 3Only one follows up on the quote
- Week 3That one gets the 180-foot install
- ResultSame lead cost, no follow-up, no job

Follow-up sequence
A fence estimate, followed up properly
Fence quotes are compared on price and timing — the follow-up should be clear and patient.
Fence estimate — Day 0 to Day 21
- Day 0Estimate sent; the agent confirms the homeowner received it.
- Day 1“Any questions on the material options or the post setting?”
- Day 3Explains the install timeline and digging conditions.
- Day 7Scheduling touch on available install windows; stops on reply.
- Day 14Notes that the season is filling up.
- Day 21Final check-in, then nurture until they are ready.
Sequences stop automatically the moment a customer replies or opts out.
Human in control
What stays human
The agent books and follows up. Your crew owns the install.
- All pricing, material recommendations and terms.
- Property-line and code questions.
- Terrain, post-depth and structural judgement.
- Commercial and pool-code scoping.
- Anyone who asks for a person — transferred immediately.
Approval before it goes out
Agents only use your approved knowledge base — service list, pricing rules, availability and policies. Anything outside that scope is flagged for a human instead of guessed.
No invented pricing, policies or appointments. A person always owns the final call on money and scope.

FAQ
Fencing questions, answered
What fencing companies ask before automating intake.
Can the AI qualify fence jobs?
It captures linear feet, material, gates, terrain and tear-out needs, and books the measure with the details your estimator wants. Pricing stays with you.
Will customers know it is AI?
It introduces itself as an assistant. You control the wording, and anyone who wants a person is transferred.
Can it handle repair calls?
Yes. Small repairs get answered and booked instead of slipping through while the crew is on an install.
Does it work with our CRM and calendar?
We build around common CRMs and calendars and are honest when a native connection is not available.
Can it handle commercial and pool-code jobs?
It captures the basics and routes commercial, HOA and pool-code work to a human for scoping.
How does it help in the season?
It answers every call when your crew is installing, so the peak does not leak jobs to slower competitors.
