What Emily does for contractors
- Qualifies project type, scope, timeline, budget range and property location.
- Books on-site estimates into your calendar with drive time buffers.
- Politely turns away jobs outside your services or service area.
- Separates new leads from existing customers, suppliers and subs.
The phone problem for contractors
- You're on a ladder or running a saw when the phone rings.
- Evenings go to returning calls and chasing basic project details.
- Too many estimate visits for jobs outside your scope, area or budget.
- Subcontractors, suppliers and customers all hit the same number.
Every unanswered call is a customer deciding whether to wait for a callback or call someone else. Most call someone else. An AI receptionist removes that moment entirely.

Example call
Here's how a typical call sounds. Every conversation follows your services, pricing and rules.
CallerWe're looking to redo our master bathroom. Do you do that?
EmilyWe do. Is this a full remodel with new tile and fixtures, or more of a refresh?
CallerFull remodel, walk-in shower.
EmilyGreat. Do you have a timeline and a rough budget range in mind? It helps us bring the right options to the estimate.
CallerThis spring, maybe 25 to 35 thousand.
EmilyThat fits well. I can book an in-home estimate Thursday at 5 PM or Saturday at 10 AM.
You get every lead with the scope, budget and timeline already answered, so you decide which estimates are worth your evening.

Frequently asked questions
Can it screen out jobs I don't want?
Yes. Emily uses your rules on project type, size, budget and service area, and politely declines or refers jobs that don't fit.

Yes. Emily books only into the estimate windows you make available on your calendar.
What about calls from suppliers or subs?
Emily identifies them and routes or logs them separately from customer leads.
Does it work for electricians and handymen?
Yes. The build is custom, so it works for general contractors, remodelers, electricians, painters, handymen and other trades.
