Automation & AI

Business automation and AI for contractors

You do not need a system. You need the phone answered, the lead captured, and the job on the calendar. Three small pieces do almost all of that, and you can start with one.

What to automate first

In the order that pays back fastest. Most contractors never need step 3, and that is fine.

Stop losing the calls you already get

Before anything clever, plug the leak. A missed call is a job that went to whoever answered next, and most contractors miss more than they think during a work day.

Missed-call text-back

Answer the ones you cannot pick up

Nights, weekends and overflow are where the money quietly goes. An AI receptionist picks up, qualifies the caller, and hands you a job rather than a voicemail.

Let people book without phone tag

For appointment-based trades, the last friction is scheduling. Let customers take a real slot from your real availability instead of trading calls for two days.

Questions contractors ask

What is the difference between missed-call text-back and an AI receptionist?

Text-back is a safety net: if a call rings out, the caller instantly gets a text so the conversation stays with you. An AI receptionist actually answers the phone, talks to the caller, qualifies the job and either books it or texts you the details. Text-back is the cheaper first step; the receptionist is for when you are losing real work after hours.

Is an AI receptionist better than a traditional answering service?

It depends what you need. A human answering service is a person reading a script, priced per call or per minute, and it usually costs more per month. An AI receptionist answers every call at once, never has a queue, works nights and weekends at the same rate, and hands you structured details. A human service can be better for complex or sensitive calls. We are happy to tell you when it is not worth switching.

Do I need a new website to use the automation?

No. The text-back, receptionist and scheduling pieces work with whatever site you have, or with no site at all. They are separate from the website rebuild — most contractors start with one or the other, not both.

What does automation cost?

Missed-call text-back runs about $49-79 a month plus a small one-time setup fee that covers carrier (A2P) registration. The AI receptionist is about $149-249 a month. Scheduling is quoted alongside it because it depends on your trade. No long contract: start with one and add the next only when the first has paid for itself.

Will it sound like a robot to my customers?

The receptionist introduces itself as your office rather than pretending to be a person. Most callers just want to know they have reached the right business and that someone will get back to them, and that is what it delivers.

How long does setup take?

Days, not weeks. We configure it around your trade, your hours and the questions you actually need asked, then test it with you before it takes a real call.

If your operation is bigger than three products

The pieces above are single products on a monthly. For an established operation running several numbers or brands, the phone, the CRM, the calendar and the follow-up need to agree with each other, which is a different job. We have built and run that too: 53 capabilities live in production for a New England window and door contractor across two brands and two states.

Need the website too?

We rebuild contractor websites as a free demo first, so you see the new one before you pay. It works on its own or alongside the automation.
