AI receptionist & answering service
AI receptionist for contractors that books estimates while you work
Every missed call is a homeowner calling the next remodeler on Google. Our AI receptionist answers your phone 24/7, qualifies the project and books the in-home estimate on your calendar.
What is an AI receptionist for contractors?
An AI receptionist is a virtual front desk that answers your business phone in a natural, human-sounding voice. Unlike a voicemail or a generic call center, it is trained on your business: the services you offer, your service areas, typical price ranges, your hours and how you book estimates.
When a homeowner calls, it answers within seconds, asks the right questions (kitchen or bath, scope, budget, timeline, ZIP code), books the visit on your calendar and texts the homeowner a confirmation. You get a summary of the call and the lead details by text and email.
Why remodelers need one
Remodeling contractors are on job sites, in meetings with clients, or driving between estimates. Calls go to voicemail, and most homeowners don't leave one: they call the next company. With kitchen projects often worth $30,000 or more, one missed call can cost more than a year of the service.

FAQ
Common questions
How does an AI receptionist work for a contractor?
It answers your business calls in a natural voice, using what it has been taught about your services, prices and service areas. It asks qualifying questions, books the estimate on your calendar and sends you the lead details by text and email.
Will homeowners know they are talking to AI?
The voice sounds natural and conversational. We recommend being transparent, and the AI can say it's a virtual assistant. Most homeowners care about getting a quick answer and a booked visit.
Can it answer price questions?
Yes, within the ranges you approve. For example, it can say most full kitchen remodels you do fall in a certain range, and that the exact price comes after the free in-home estimate.
What happens with urgent calls or existing clients?
You choose rules: the AI can transfer the call to you or a team member, take a detailed message, or text you right away.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. You keep your number and forward missed calls, or all calls, to the AI receptionist.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
It is a flat monthly fee based on your call volume, usually far less than a human receptionist or a per-minute call center. Book a call for an exact price.
