What Fencing Contractors Say About Sagedoer
Trusted by residential wood & vinyl installers, commercial chain-link contractors, and farm/ranch fencing builders.
"I used to sit at my kitchen table until 10 PM drawing fence lines and typing quotes. My Sagedoer VA turns my field measurements into polished ArcSite proposals in Jobber within 2 hours. Our close rate jumped by 34%."
Brett Callahan
Owner, Callahan Custom Fence Co. (Charlotte, NC)
"We were hit with a $3,200 utility damage fine last year because a gas line ticket slipped through the cracks. Sagedoer files every 811 locate and tracks positive responses before our augers spin. Zero strikes since onboarding."
Marcus Ramirez
Operations Director, LoneStar Perimeter Solutions (Dallas, TX)
"Whenever an Angi or Google Local Services lead rings while I’m operating the skid steer, our VA calls back within 3 minutes, pre-qualifies the footage, and books the on-site estimate. We beat our competitors to the punch every time."
Dustin Wheeler
Founder, Apex Iron & Vinyl Fence (Denver, CO)
"The free Project Manager is what makes Sagedoer unbeatable. When we expanded from 2 to 4 crews this summer, she audited all supplier lumber POs and checked our concrete formulas so my material costs stayed dead-on."
Troy Kowalski
General Manager, Great Lakes Fence & Gate (Grand Rapids, MI)
Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers regarding takeoff accuracy, 811 utility locate compliance, Jobber permissions, and seasonal winter ramp-downs.
Can the virtual assistant generate accurate material takeoffs from our field notes or sketches?
Yes. You can simply upload hand-drawn sketches, wheel measurements, or satellite property addresses. Your assistant calculates exact linear footage, post spacing (e.g. 6ft or 8ft on-center), gate post sizes (4x4 vs 6x6 or steel Sch 40), terminal post counts, pickets, horizontal rails, and bags of concrete or Fast 2K expanding foam according to your company's proprietary estimating formulas.
How does the virtual assistant handle 811 "Call Before You Dig" locate tickets?
Your assistant logs directly into your regional state 811 One Call web portal (e.g., Texas811, Sunshine 811, JULIE, Dig Safely). They submit the dig ticket with precise parcel boundary drawings, white-line marking notes, and scheduled installation dates. They monitor positive response clearances and ensure your crew foreman has verified clear tickets in Jobber before augering post holes.
Can the assistant assemble building permit applications and HOA packages?
Yes. Dealing with municipal building departments and HOA architectural review boards (ARCs) is a huge administrative drain. Your assistant pulls parcel boundary maps, checks zoning height restrictions and property setbacks, attaches fence manufacturer cut sheets, and fills out complete permit application dossiers ready for the homeowner or your team to sign.
How do we grant access to Jobber, QuickBooks, and supplier accounts securely?
You never share master passwords. In Jobber or Housecall Pro, you set up a restricted employee/dispatcher user profile allowing access to schedule jobs and create draft quotes without viewing company banking or tax settings. For supplier portals (Master Halco, Lowe's Pro), logins are provisioned via encrypted password managers (1Password / LastPass) with mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA).
Can we scale hours between peak spring/summer season and slower winter months?
Yes. Fencing is deeply seasonal. You can ramp up to our Full-Time plan (40 hrs/week) during the peak spring and summer construction rush, and effortlessly scale down to our Part-Time plan (20 hrs/week) during ground-freeze winter months for quote follow-ups and marketing setup—without onboarding fees, lock-in contracts, or cancellation penalties.
How does having a Dedicated Project Manager benefit my fencing business?
Your Dedicated Project Manager is your operational quality buffer. Instead of you having to audit whether your assistant correctly applied post-hole concrete multipliers or verified 811 locate deadlines, your PM oversees daily estimating turnaround times, audits workpapers, and ensures deadlines are hit. Their management supervision is 100% free of charge.
