The Missed Calls That Cost You Projects

27%

Calls Go Unanswered After Hours – Losing Leads on Permit-Compliant Basement Projects

With 27% of calls going unanswered after 6 PM and on weekends, your business misses critical opportunities from homeowners seeking permit-compliant basement renovations. These clients are often in the final stages of decision-making, researching load-bearing wall modifications, egress window installations, or foundation waterproofing. Without immediate contact, 85% of these leads never return—especially when they’re comparing bids for a fully finished basement with a recreation room or basement living area.

47%

Manual Follow-Up Delays Conversion on Moisture-Resistant Basement Projects

When a homeowner calls about moisture barrier installation or radon mitigation—common concerns in humid climates like the Northeast—manual follow-up can take 2–4 hours. This delay results in a 47% lead loss rate, especially for urgent cases involving substructure concerns. Contractors lose high-intent leads who need immediate guidance on waterproofing solutions before excavation begins.

Inconsistent

Inconsistent Service During Peak Seasons for Basement Living Area Builds

During spring and summer, demand spikes for basement living area conversions and recreation room builds. With multiple calls coming in simultaneously, your team struggles to respond in real time. This inconsistency leads to missed appointments, delayed project starts, and frustrated clients—especially those requiring egress window compliance or structural assessments involving load-bearing walls.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing nearly 30% of weekend leads—especially from families looking to turn their basement into a recreation room with an egress window. After switching to Answrr, we now book 14+ appointments per week, even on Sundays. One client called at 9 PM about a moisture barrier issue; the AI scheduled a site visit the next day, and we closed the $18,000 job in under two weeks.

I used to spend 3 hours daily chasing leads for radon mitigation and foundation waterproofing projects. Now, Answrr handles every call—remembering if a client needs a permit-compliant egress window or load-bearing wall reinforcement. It’s like having a project manager who knows every detail. Our average response time dropped from 3 hours to 28 seconds.

I’m not good with tech, but Answrr set up in 10 minutes. Now, when a client calls about a fully finished basement with a basement living area, the AI asks about their needs—like a moisture barrier or radon mitigation—and books the appointment. I’ve booked 22 new projects this quarter just from after-hours calls.
