Client Onboarding for Carpentry

The Client Onboarding workflow helps carpentry contractors create a professional, consistent client experience after contracts are signed. It covers welcoming clients, reviewing scope, confirming material selections, and outlining timelines. By standardizing onboarding, carpenters reduce confusion, increase transparency, and build stronger client trust. The workflow also helps sales teams stay organized and accountable while reinforcing professionalism. Clients benefit from clear expectations and reliable communication. With this system in place, carpentry companies can improve satisfaction, strengthen relationships, and ensure projects begin smoothly and confidently.
