Example. Not A Real Customer.

What Your Homeowner Sees After The Estimate

A sample sequence for a basement waterproofing quote: texts and an email on days 1, 3, 7 and 14, until the homeowner replies, books or asks us to stop.

Every message is written with the contractor and approved before anything goes out. DaveWays sends it for them, from their business number and email address, and handles the replies. Nobody is typing live: when a homeowner writes back, our team answers using what the contractor approved and passes anything else to the owner.

The Problem

Most Quotes Aren’t Lost. They’re Just Never Followed Up.

Quote Sent, Then Silence

The estimate goes out, worth thousands. The homeowner says they’ll think about it. Then the estimator is on the next job, and most quotes get one reminder or none.

The Lead Was Already Paid For

You paid for the ad, the lead service or the truck roll to inspect. A quote nobody follows up on is that money spent for nothing.

Reminders Go To You, Not The Homeowner

Quoting apps and CRMs can remind you to follow up. They don’t do it for you. The reminder sits in your inbox while the homeowner talks to someone else.

What We Do

What You Get Isn’t Software. It’s A Team.

You never log in write the messages chase quotes

The messages are what your homeowners see.

DaveWays is everything behind them.

What homeowners getFrom Your Business

  • A text and an email about the quote they asked you for
  • Your business name in every message, from your own number and email address
  • Answers to their questions, in the wording you approved
  • A re-inspection or estimate call on your calendar when they’re ready
  • No more messages once they reply STOP, say no or ask us to stop

Behind the messagesWhat DaveWays Does

  1. We collect your quotes Open and past quotes, from your quoting app, a spreadsheet or paper. You confirm each homeowner asked you for a quote.
  2. We write the sequence with you In your voice, from your quotes. You approve every message before anything is sent.
  3. We send from your number Texts from your business number, registered with the carriers (A2P 10DLC) in your business’s name. Email from your address.
  4. We handle the replies Questions about the quote and timing, answered the way you approved. Anything else goes to you.
  5. We book on your calendar Re-inspections and estimate calls.
  6. We alert you on hot replies A text to the owner as soon as a homeowner is ready to talk.
  7. We stop when asked On STOP, on “no” or when they ask, right away. We tell you, so your other tools stop too.
  8. We send a monthly report Quotes followed up, replies, appointments booked and opt-outs.

More Than Follow‑Up. Less On Your Plate.

Following up is only part of the work. We also keep your quote records organized and flag the decisions that need your attention.

  • CRM Updates

    We keep notes, follow-up activity and quote statuses current in your CRM or a shared tracker, whichever we agree on.

  • Monthly Pipeline Report

    Each month, see which quotes we followed up, who replied, which appointments were booked, who opted out and what needs your decision.

Pricing

One Plan. A Management Fee For Our Team, Not A Software Subscription.

Quote Follow-Up Desk

$699/month management fee

Month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days’ notice.

Free 14-day trial. We run your follow-up free for the first 14 days after go-live. Then you get a report of every quote we followed up, every reply and anything booked, and you decide whether to continue. If you don’t, you owe nothing. No card needed to start.
  • Up to 100 new quotes a month, then $5 for each extra quote
  • No setup fee.
  • Everything in What we do: your quote list, the sequence written with you, texts and email sent from your number and address, replies handled, appointments booked, hot-reply alerts, opt-outs honored and a monthly report

This price is for contractors whose typical job is $2,000 or more.

Example: What A Month Costs

  • You send 80 new quotes in a month: you pay $699.
  • You send 120 new quotes in a month: the first 100 are covered by the $699 fee and the other 20 are $5 each, so you pay $699 + $100 = $799.
  • If your typical job is $2,000, one extra job closed in a month brings in $2,000 of work against the $699 fee.

Who’s Behind It

Vikram Dave, DaveWays

I run DaveWays. My background is Google Ads for small businesses. Paying for a lead is only the start. For contractors, the job is often won or lost in the follow-up after the estimate, and that’s the part nobody has time for. So that’s the part our team runs: we write the follow-up with you, send it in your name and hand you the replies that turn into jobs. I review every client’s sequence myself before it goes out.

DaveWays is a brand of Mirai Yushutsu Global Venture LLP, based in India.

Straight Answers

Questions Contractors Ask Us

Will it sound like me?

We write the messages with you on the kickoff call, from how you already talk to homeowners and what’s in your quotes. You read and approve every message before anything is sent, and we don’t change the wording later without your OK.

Do I need to change my CRM or quoting app?

No. Keep using Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, a spreadsheet or paper. We need a list of your quotes: homeowner name, phone, email, the job, the amount and the date sent. On the kickoff call we agree the easiest way for you to get it to us.

Will you write quotes or negotiate prices?

No. Your team prepares the quotes and makes every pricing decision. We handle the follow-up you approved and the admin that goes with it.

Does a booked appointment mean a won job?

No. Your monthly report counts homeowner replies and booked appointments separately, and only your team can confirm a won job.

Can you handle all our office admin?

No. We focus on following up your open quotes and the admin directly connected to it. Anything else needs a separate scope.

What if a homeowner is annoyed?

We stop messaging them and hand the conversation to you. The same goes for anyone who says no, replies STOP or asks not to be contacted.

What about texting rules?

We only message homeowners who asked you for a quote, and you confirm that for every name on your list before we send anything. Texts go from your own business number, registered with the carriers (A2P 10DLC) in your business’s name, and email goes from your address. Every text names your business and says how to opt out. When someone replies STOP, we stop right away and tell you, so they aren’t contacted from your other tools either. We’re not a law firm, so check your own obligations with your attorney.

What does it cost?

$699 a month as a management fee, month-to-month with 30 days’ notice to cancel. It covers up to 100 new quotes a month, then $5 for each extra quote. You start with a free 14-day trial. There’s no setup fee. The price is for contractors whose typical job is $2,000 or more. See pricing.

Who is DaveWays? Are you overseas?

Yes, and we’re upfront about it. DaveWays is a brand of Mirai Yushutsu Global Venture LLP, registered in India and run by founder Vikram Dave. Our team writes and sends your follow-up and handles the replies. Homeowners hear from your business, on your number, because they asked you for the quote. More on the about page.

What if it doesn’t work?

We don’t guarantee results. How many quotes turn into jobs depends on your pricing, your work and your market. What we commit to is professional follow-up: every quote on your list followed up on the schedule and in the wording you approved, as set out in the terms we agree with you, and your monthly report shows exactly what was sent. You can see it for yourself in the free 14-day trial. If it isn’t worth it to you, don’t continue, and you owe nothing. After that it’s month-to-month, so you can stop with 30 days’ notice.
