The AI receptionist for drywall contractors
An AI receptionist for drywall contractors answers while you're on stilts with a hawk full of mud. It picks up every call and text 24/7 in English and Spanish, gets the details on patches, hangs and finishes, books estimates on your calendar, and texts you a summary of every call.
Call the receptionist and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you.The calls a drywall contractor actually gets
Drywall leads range from a doorknob hole to a whole basement. These are the calls that come in while you're taping.
Water damage patches
A pipe leaked and the plumber cut a hole in the ceiling. It asks the size, whether it's dry and the texture, asks for a photo and books the repair.
Basement finishes
A homeowner is finishing the basement. It gets square footage, ceiling height, whether it's framed and the timeline, and books an estimate.
Texture matching
"Can you match my knockdown?" It notes the texture, room and size of the area and asks for close-up photos.
Builder and remodeler work
A GC needs a hang and finish crew next week. It takes the job, board count if they have it and the date, and texts you.

Questions owners ask
Can it price small patch jobs?
Yes, from the pricing rules and minimums you give it. Bigger jobs get the details collected and booked for an estimate.
Can it tell if a ceiling is dry enough to repair?
It asks the questions you set, like when the leak was fixed, and passes the answers to you. It doesn't make the call itself.
Can restoration companies reach me directly?
Yes. Set transfer rules so your GCs and restoration partners go straight through and everyone else gets a summary texted to you.
Does it work after hours?
Yes. Calls and texts get answered 24/7 in English and Spanish, so a homeowner calling at night or on the weekend gets taken care of.
