AI for contractors and home services
You are on a roof or under a sink. The phone rings, the estimate waits until 10 pm, and the unsigned bid from last week never gets a follow-up. We build AI agents that handle that busywork while you stay in charge.
Most remodelers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC and roofing companies we study have the same three leaks.
When the owner is on the job, new leads go to voice mail, and the customer calls the next company.
A May 2026 survey of 500 construction and trade firms and 2,000 consumers found that 83% of consumers pick the business that answers first (Moneypenny survey, reported by Contracting Business, May 2026; source). The same survey found 24% want to be able to reach a business between 5 and 9 pm.
After a site visit, many owners rebuild each estimate at the kitchen table.
The longer it takes, the more likely the customer has already hired someone else. And once the estimate is out, there is rarely time to chase it.
Extra work agreed on site becomes an argument at the end of the job.
Invoices wait for the weekend. Payment reminders happen when someone remembers. Journal of Light Construction coverage of change orders describes a remodeler who lost about $40,000 on jobs where clients asked for changes and then refused to pay for them (JLC).
Every project starts with one workflow and a measurable goal. These are the ones contractors ask about most.
What the agent does
What it never does
A phone and text agent picks up calls, texts and web forms, including evenings and weekends.
It asks what you would ask: type of job, address, timeline, photos. It sorts emergencies from routine work, books the estimate visit on your calendar, creates the lead in your CRM or field-service app (Jobber, Housecall Pro and similar) and texts you a summary. Emergencies and high-value jobs go straight to a person.
After the visit you record a voice memo and snap photos.
The agent drafts the estimate from your own price book and past jobs, and flags anything it is unsure about. You review it and send it. Nothing goes to the customer without your approval.
The agent drafts a polite nudge on day 2, day 5 and day 10, and hands the job back to you if the customer still has not answered. See the worked example: how to follow up on unsigned quotes with an AI agent.
A text or voice note from the site ("client wants the niche moved, two extra hours, $180 of tile") becomes a priced change order for e-signature before the work is done.
When a job is marked complete, the invoice is created and payment reminders go out on a schedule, with a sync to QuickBooks. See the worked example: how to get extra work signed before you do it.
A short weekly or milestone update built from your schedule and crew notes, and a review request after the job. Unhappy customers are routed to you before they post.
Illustration, not a client result
This is a worked example with assumed numbers, to show the arithmetic. It is not a result from a client and not a promise.
Assume a remodeler gets 40 inbound leads a month, misses 1 in 7 of them while on site, closes a quarter of the leads who do get an answer, and averages an $8,000 job. Six missed leads at a 25% close rate is about 1.5 jobs, or roughly $12,000 of revenue at risk each month.
Change any of those inputs and the answer changes. On the discovery call we ask for your real numbers instead.

A person approves what matters. Agents start with human approval switched on for estimates, change orders and customer messages. You decide later which routine messages may go out on their own.
Your numbers, not guesses. Estimate agents work only from your price book and past jobs. If something is missing, the agent asks.
No new software to learn. We connect the apps you already pay for. You do not have to switch your CRM.
Text-message rules. Automated texts to customers can be subject to consent rules, so we raise this in every project and set it up with you. Confirm the details with your own legal advisor.
Start small. One workflow, a weekly demo and a fixed-price quote before anything is built. See how an engagement works.
A free call to understand your business and where the time goes.
We map the workflow, measure the baseline and deliver a prioritized roadmap with a fixed-price quote.
We build the first agent, show progress every week and launch with human approval switched on.
Once it works, we add agents and keep everything monitored and tuned.
It introduces itself as your office assistant, keeps questions short and sends anything urgent or unusual to a person. Many contractors start with after-hours calls only, then widen it once they are comfortable.
Yes. Agents can answer calls, texts and web forms, ask the questions you would ask, check your calendar and book the visit. Emergencies and high-value jobs are handed to a person.
No estimate goes out without your approval, and the agent works only from your own price book. If it cannot find a price, it says so.
No. We connect the tools you already use.
Every engagement starts with a free discovery call and an assessment that ends in a fixed-price quote for the first agent, so you know the cost before anything is built. The cost depends on the workflow.
Pick one workflow with a clear start and finish, such as answering missed calls or following up unsigned estimates. That is how every engagement begins.
Agents only see what they need for the job, sensitive actions require human approval and every action is logged. See the data safety answer in our FAQ.
