The AI receptionist for siding contractors
An AI receptionist for siding contractors answers while you're up a ladder or out running estimates. It picks up every call and text 24/7 in English and Spanish, gets the house size, material and damage, 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 siding contractor actually gets
Siding leads come in waves after storms and steady the rest of the year. These are the calls that ring out while you're on the wall.
Storm and hail damage
After a storm a homeowner has cracked vinyl and missing pieces. It asks what's damaged, whether insurance is involved and books an inspection.
Full re-side quotes
"We want to replace the whole house." It gets the stories, rough size, current material and what they're thinking, then books an estimate.
Fiber cement and Hardie
A homeowner wants to switch from vinyl. It notes the material, color plans and timeline and asks for photos of each side.
Small repairs and matching
A few pieces blew off. It asks for photos and the color and books a repair visit so you can match it.
Why siding contractors put it on the phone
Stay on the ladder
You can't answer from the top of a ladder. The receptionist picks up every call on the first ring.
House details up front
Stories, sides, material, damage and insurance status come in a written summary before the estimate.
Estimates booked
Qualified leads get booked for an estimate on your calendar by your rules, with the job details attached.
Storm-week coverage
When the phone lights up after hail, every call and text gets answered 24/7 in English and Spanish.
Adjusters and GCs put through
Set rules so insurance adjusters, builders and GCs reach you directly while homeowners get booked.
Same number
Your number gets ported in, so the number on yard signs and the truck keeps working.

Questions owners ask
Can it handle insurance claim questions?
It asks the questions you set, like whether a claim is filed and who the adjuster is, and passes them to you. It doesn't give insurance advice.

Whatever you set. Most siding contractors want the address, stories, current material, damage, insurance status and photos.
Can it give a ballpark price?
It can quote from pricing rules you give it. The Instant Estimator gives a price on your website from the address and photos.
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.
