The problem

You can’t take a new-lead call from a job site.

Estimate requests and remodel calls come in while you’re framing, at a walkthrough, or driving between jobs. If nobody answers, some homeowners just try the next contractor on the list.

  • On the job, phone in your pocket

    Stopping mid-cut or mid-walkthrough to take a new estimate call is hard — and voicemail rarely captures the project details.

  • Evenings, when homeowners actually call

    People often call after work, when you’re still on site or already home. Missed evening calls are often missed estimates.

  • Half the project details missing

    A callback goes faster when you already have the address, the type of work, and a sense of the scope.

How it works

Three steps. We do the setup.

Forward your number

Keep your shop number. Calls you don’t pick up (or all calls — your choice) forward to your AI receptionist. Or we set you up with a new number.

It answers like your office

It greets callers with your shop name, says it’s an AI, shares your hours and services, and asks the questions you’d ask: address, remodel or addition, rough scope, and timing.

You get a text

It books the estimate visit into your open slots — or takes a complete lead — and texts you a clean summary right away.

    Questions

    Straight answers

    How much does it cost?

    Pricing depends on your call volume and setup. We go over it in a free business assessment and send a written quote.

    Does it work with my existing number?

    Yes. Most shops keep their number and forward missed calls — or all calls — to the assistant. If you’d rather, we can set up a new number for it.

    Will it sound robotic? Do callers know it’s an AI?

    It’s a computer-generated voice, not a person, and it says it’s an AI at the start of every call. We write the greeting and questions around your shop so it sounds clear and specific, not like a generic menu. It also gives a recording notice, because Massachusetts requires everyone on the call to consent. If you don’t want recordings, we can turn them off and leave only the text summary. You can hear a sample call on this page.

    Can it answer after hours or while I’m on a job site?

    It can be set up to answer after hours and while you’re on a job site, take the project details, and text you. It won’t quote a price or guess at permits over the phone; it books an estimate visit or takes a complete message.

    Can it transfer a call to me?

    It can be set up to transfer a call to you during hours you choose. Outside those hours, it takes a complete message and texts you the details.

    Can it speak Spanish?

    Yes. It can be set up to answer in English and in Spanish. Use the ES switch on the sample call to hear a Spanish sample.

    How long does setup take? Is there a contract?

    We set it up with you, test it with practice calls, and adjust it when you tell us something should be handled differently. Timing depends on how quickly we can go over your hours, services, and rules. Start with the free assessment and we’ll map the next steps. Terms are in your written quote.

    Calculator

    What missed calls and a part-time receptionist can cost

    These are estimates only, not a quote and not a guarantee. Choosing a trade fills in published averages you can edit. The results use only the numbers in the fields.

    Defaults are based on published averages for Massachusetts and the Boston area when a local figure exists. National figures and assumptions are labeled in Sources. Edit any field to match your shop.

    Trade

    Example default: 5

    Default $27,500: midrange bathroom remodel in New England (Remodeling 2025 Cost vs. Value, $27,559, rounded). A typical inbound remodeling job, not a major addition. You can edit this.

    Default 25%: a conservative assumption. A 2022 industry study found a 24% inbound call booking rate for trade shops with fewer than 5 technicians (ServiceTitan, U.S. and Canada). You can edit this.

    Example default: 20 hours

    Default $21: Boston-area median hourly wage for receptionists (BLS OEWS, May 2025, $21.12, rounded). You can edit this.
