Ryan Dulde owns a private residential property in Union Center, Wisconsin. This service sends text messages to the contractors and service providers who do maintenance work there — plumbers, electricians, chimney sweeps, tree services, and similar trades. Messages are sent by Tina, an assistant acting on Ryan’s behalf.
Every message is about a specific job: asking whether you are available, agreeing a date, checking on progress, answering a question, or closing the work out. Nothing promotional is ever sent, and no one is added to any list.
Only contractors and tradespeople who already work, or have worked, on the property, and who gave Ryan their mobile number in the course of that work — written on an invoice or a quote, printed on a business card, or given over the phone when arranging a job. The number is given so that Ryan can reach them about work, and that is the only thing it is ever used for.
Numbers are never bought, rented, swapped, or collected from any list, and nobody is added who has not done work at the property or been asked to quote for some. There is no advertising list to join and none of this is marketing: every message concerns one specific job at one address.
A contractor who would rather not be texted says so, or replies STOP, and that is the end of it — Ryan calls or emails them instead, and it changes nothing about working together.
Each contractor has a private page of their own on this site — their jobs, the photos, what is needed — reached by a link Ryan gives them in person, by email, or in a text from his own phone. The first time that page opens it asks one question before anything else:
Yes — Ryan Dulde's assistant Tina can text me about work at his place on Hastings Rd in Union Center. It will only ever be about specific jobs. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP any time to stop, HELP for help.
One tap agrees. A second button, just beneath, opens the page without agreeing — nothing is recorded, nothing changes, and Tina emails or calls instead. Agreeing to texts is optional and is not a condition of any work, purchase or service; nobody has to agree to use the page. You can see this screen, with sample data, at duldelodge.com/portal-preview. The app will not text anyone who has not said yes, by this tap, on the phone, or by replying to an email.
Some contractors are easiest to ask on a call about a job already being discussed. It is the same question every time:
Quick thing before I let you go — is it alright if my assistant Tina texts you about scheduling this, or would you rather we phoned?
If yes: Great. So you know, it'll just be about this job, message and data rates may apply, and you can reply STOP any time and we'll go back to calling.
If the answer is no, or a shrug, nothing is sent and Ryan carries on phoning — which is what he did before any of this existed. If it is yes, the date, who asked, and those exact words are kept on file.
Anyone who would sooner tick a box than answer on the phone can do that instead, at duldelodge.com/opt-in. Nobody is required to.
If you have given Ryan your number for work and would rather not receive texts at all, email tina@duldelodge.com and your number will be removed from the system. You do not need to wait for a message to arrive to opt out of them.
Message frequency varies with the work in hand; most jobs involve a handful of messages over a few weeks. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.
Reply STOP to any message and you will receive no further texts. Reply START to begin again. Replying STOP does not end any working arrangement — Ryan will simply call or email you instead.
Reply HELP to any message, or email tina@duldelodge.com.
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Not every carrier supports every type of message, and a text is never a guarantee that anyone has read it.
