StackQuotes bridge
Templates help you write the request. StackQuotes helps you keep the approval record tied to the job.
StackQuotes connects the request, pricing basis, customer action, and job record so the change does not live only in texts, photos, or a final invoice.
CTA
Use StackQuotes when the trade change needs to stay connected to the quote, scope, approval action, and job record.
How to use this
Attach photos from removal and identify the exact elevation before pricing the siding change.
Document flashing and water-management details separately from optional material upgrades.
Save the approved siding change with the estimate, photos, and final job record.
Approval boundary
Templates help you write the request. StackQuotes helps you keep the approval record tied to the job.
A draft, conversation, estimate, diagnostic note, selection, or field photo is not the same as customer approval. Treat the change as approved only after the customer takes the approval action requested in the record.
This is general business documentation guidance, not legal advice. For legal disputes, lien rights, or contract enforcement questions, talk with a qualified construction attorney in your state.
Common mistakes
- Replacing sheathing without photos and elevation notes.
- Blending insulation upgrades into required repairs.
- Leaving flashing details out of the approval request.
- Treating material color or profile discussion as approval.
