Email still works when it is specific and respectful. Generic “please quote my dream home” messages get ignored — and deserve to.
Subject lines that help
Include city, project type, and timing: “Addition feasibility quote request — Austin, TX — fall start.”
Body essentials
- One-paragraph project summary
- Address or neighborhood
- Budget band
- Timeline
- Ask for proposal scope and timing
- Attach a short brief or photo set
Etiquette
Personalize lightly, limit the number of firms, and say if you are talking to others. Follow up once, not daily.
Platform alternative
If you prefer not to manage a blast list, submit one verified request on Acre & Angle for capped matching — or request a specific firm with review still applied.
