Program description
When you request an estimate through Instant Quote, you may opt in to receive text messages about your estimate and appointment. Text messages are sent by the contractor whose website you visited, on behalf of their business name.
If you are a contractor team member, you may also receive SMS alerts for each new lead submitted through your Instant Quote widgets.
Message frequency and content
Homeowners may receive:
- One initial message thanking them for their estimate request and offering to schedule an appointment.
- Follow-up messages from the contractor regarding their appointment or quote.
Contractor team members may receive one SMS alert per new lead, depending on your account settings.
Message frequency varies and depends on how you interact with the contractor.
Message and data rates
Message and data rates may apply. Standard SMS rates charged by your wireless carrier (text messages = 1 message in and 1 message out per SMS to or from you) will be applied by your wireless provider.
Consent is optional
Opting in to SMS is completely optional. Your decision to opt in or out does not affect your ability to:
- Request an estimate through Instant Quote.
- Receive a quote via phone or email.
- Be contacted by the contractor through other means.
You can opt in or out at any time through the Instant Quote widget or by contacting the contractor directly.
Reply STOP to opt out
To unsubscribe from SMS messages from the contractor, reply "STOP"to any text message. You will receive a confirmation that you have been unsubscribed. After opting out, you will no longer receive SMS messages unless you re-opt-in.

To request information about the SMS program, reply "HELP"to any text message from the contractor. The contractor will provide information about their text messaging program.
