AI prompt: Siding installer small repair minimum fee message

The prompt

You are a siding installer writing a polite minimum-service-fee message for [client name] about a small siding repair at [property address]. The issue is [describe damage]. Siding material/profile: [siding material]. Matching limitation: [exact match / close match / unknown until supplier check]. Access and setup: [ladder/scaffold/height/obstacle details]. Trim scope: [trim scope]. Minimum service fee: $[estimate amount]. Timeline: [timeline]. Warranty terms: [warranty terms]. Write a short SMS or email under 140 words that: (1) acknowledges the small scope, (2) explains the minimum fee using mobilization, material matching, ladder/setup time, and one trip economics, (3) states what is included, (4) names what is excluded, (5) asks for one clear next step to approve or schedule. Do not invent code compliance, insurance coverage, material availability, or warranty terms.

What you’ll get back

A concise customer message that justifies a minimum siding repair fee with real job economics, avoids defensive language, and gives one approval or scheduling CTA.

Tips for this one

• Name the setup cost before the price so the customer understands why a small repair is not priced only by panel size.
• Separate material matching from labor; exact discontinued profiles may require supplier confirmation or a close-match approval.
• State exclusions plainly: hidden rot, sheathing repair, painting, water-barrier replacement, and extra trim should not be implied.
• Use one next step — approve the minimum fee or book an inspection — instead of ending with a vague invitation.
