The problem

The calls you can't take

On site, not at a desk

You're running a crew, meeting inspectors and hauling material. The office phone is wherever you left it.

Big jobs start with one call

A remodel, an addition or a new deck is worth a lot, and it starts with a single phone call that's easy to miss.

Estimates need follow-up

Estimate requests come in all week. Without the details written down, they turn into phone tag and lost jobs.

A sample call

A real contracting call, handled

Here's how Maria handles a typical call for a contracting business. The business (Cornerstone Builders) and the caller are made up. The flow is what your customers get.

When she hangs up, the details go straight to the owner by text and email, like the summary at the top of this page.

What she asks

The questions that matter

We set Maria up with the questions your business needs. For contracting calls, that usually means:

  • Name and the best number to call back
  • The project address
  • The type of project: remodel, addition, deck, fence, concrete, painting, repair
  • The scope, in their words
  • Their timeline
  • A budget range, if they have one

Want her to ask something else? Tell us during setup and she will.

Built around your day

How it fits your work

Maria works for general contractors, remodelers, painters, fence, deck, concrete, drywall and masonry crews. If you're on a job site when the phone rings, she answers for you.

She asks the questions you choose, like timeline and budget, so you can see from the summary which calls to return first. She doesn't turn anyone away. You make that call.

Every estimate request arrives with the address and the scope written down, so you can plan site visits without a round of phone tag.

What Maria does today

We'd rather you know exactly what you're getting. Here's the honest list.

She does

  • Answers your calls 24/7, nights, weekends and holidays included
  • Greets callers with your business name and sounds natural, not like a phone menu
  • Asks for the caller's name, number, what they need, the address and when they need it
  • Sends you a text and an email with those details as soon as the call ends

Not yet

  • She doesn't book jobs into your calendar. You call the customer back and set the time
  • She doesn't transfer live calls to your phone
  • She doesn't quote prices or promise arrival times. She leaves that to you
