Review & Referral Scripts
Review & Referral Request Scripts for Carpenters
In the carpentry world, your reputation is built one dovetail joint at a time. Because projects like custom cabinetry or deck builds are major investments for homeowners, they rely heavily on reviews and word-of-mouth before committing thousands of dollars to your shop.
Post-Job Walkthrough Request
Use this script in person right after you finish the final wipe-down of a new built-in or cabinet install.
I am really happy with how the grain match turned out on these cabinet faces, and I hope you are too. Since most of my custom woodworking comes from local folks seeing my finished work, would you mind leaving a quick Google review about the install process? It really helps other homeowners feel confident when they are looking to spend $10,000 or more on a renovation. I can text you a direct link right now while I am packing up my levels and drills.
Tips for this scenario
- -Ask while they are still admiring the new wood smell and clean finish.
- -Offer to take a high-quality photo of the project for them to attach to their review.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Answering the phone with a loud table saw or sander running in the background.
!Forgetting to ask for photos of the finished project once the client has moved their furniture back in.
!Not responding to negative reviews about 'natural' wood behavior like checking or knots.
!Failing to ask for a review immediately after the 'wow' moment of the final reveal.
!Giving a generic business card instead of a direct link to your Google Business Profile.
