Room count alone leaves out the work.
Walls, ceilings, trim and surface preparation can change the estimate.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you get started.
Can I ask about trim and ceilings separately?
Yes, those can be distinct questions in the agreed intake. That avoids treating every room as the same package.
Can it handle both residential and commercial enquiries?
The call flow can ask property type and apply your approved service rules. Staff review unusual scope before accepting work.
