The AI receptionist for gutter cleaning and gutter guard companies
Answered Line is the AI receptionist and answering service for gutter cleaning and gutter guard companies. You're on a ladder two stories up when the leaves drop and every homeowner calls the same week. It answers every call, books the cleaning or the guard estimate, and texts you a summary.
Call the receptionist and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you.The calls a gutter company actually gets
Gutter calls come in waves, every fall and every big storm. Here's what the receptionist handles while you're on the roof line.
Fall cleaning rush
A homeowner's gutters are spilling over after the leaves drop. It gets the address, how many stories, and any steep sections, then books the next open slot.
Gutter guard estimate
Someone is tired of paying for cleanings twice a year and asks about guards. It takes the details and books an estimate, or sends them to your instant estimator.
Water over the front door
Rain is pouring over the gutter right above the entry during a storm. It logs the problem, flags it urgent by your rules, and texts you right away.
Spring and fall regulars
A past customer wants to get on your schedule for both seasons. It books the visits and notes the house details for the crew.
Why gutter companies put it on the phones
Answered on the ladder
You can't take a call two stories up. Every call gets answered on the first ring, 24/7, while you stay where you are.
The rush gets booked
It books cleanings on your calendar by your rules during the fall rush, so you're not spending evenings returning a stack of voicemails.
Urgent calls get flagged
Overflow during a storm or a gutter pulling off the fascia gets flagged and texted to you, or transferred by your rules.
A summary of every call
After each call you get a text with the address, stories, the problem, and whether they asked about guards.
English and Spanish
Callers who prefer Spanish get answered in Spanish, start to finish, and you get the summary in English.
Solicitors screened
Lead sellers and marketing pitches get screened, so your phone only rings for homeowners and property managers.
The rest of the back office for gutter companies
Each one is its own monthly plan. Start with one, add the rest when you are ready.
Instant estimator $197/mo
Homeowners get a price on your website in under a minute from their address and photos, for a cleaning or a set of guards.
Estimate Cam $49/mo
Photos and voice notes of sagging runs, clogged downspouts, and fascia damage get filed with the estimate.
Crew App $79/mo
Crews see today's houses, send an on-my-way text, and take before and after photos. Flag a guard upsell right from the ladder.
Email + text campaigns $197/mo
Text last year's customers before leaf season and after spring pollen so they book before the schedule fills.
Review requests + replies $97/mo
Every customer gets asked for a Google review after the job, and every review gets a drafted reply.
Missed-call text-back + reminders $100/mo
If a call gets missed during the rush, the caller gets a text back in seconds instead of calling the next company.
What a missed call actually costs
Only about 38% of calls to small businesses get answered by a person. Of the callers who hit voicemail, most hang up without a message, 85% never call back, and 62% call a competitor next. Run your own numbers:
What the alternatives cost
| Option | Monthly | What you actually get |
|---|---|---|
| A business phone line | $25–$35 | A number. It still rings to voicemail when you're on a ladder. |
| Answering service (human) | $235–$325+, billed per minute | A stranger reads a script, takes a message. No booking, no texting the caller, overage every busy month. |
| Part-time receptionist | $1,300–$1,800 | 20 hours a week. Nights, weekends, and lunch still go to voicemail. |
| Full-time receptionist | $4,000–$5,300 | Business hours only, plus payroll, benefits, sick days. |

Can it book recurring spring and fall cleanings?
Yes. It books the visits on your calendar by your rules, and the summary notes the house details for your crew.
What happens with urgent storm calls?
You decide. It can flag them and text you right away, or transfer them straight to your phone based on the rules you set.
