Trades: after a home job

For tradespeople after finishing a job at a customer's home. Neighborly tone, focused on how the work turned out.

For tradespeople, the next job almost always comes from a neighbor's recommendation. This template borrows that exact dynamic, asking a satisfied homeowner to put into words how the work went and whether they would point others your way. Copy it free and make it yours.

Hi {{name}},

Now that we have wrapped up the {{product}} work at your place, I hope everything is running just as it should.

If you have a moment, would you say a few words about how the job went? What you needed done, and whether you would feel good sending a neighbor our way. There is no wrong way to put it, and a sentence is plenty.
