The Lost Leads Problem
Missed Service Calls During Active Job Sites
As a General Contractor, you’re often on-site managing renovations, framing, or electrical work—where phone signals are weak or distractions are high. When a homeowner calls about a roofing emergency, a bathroom remodel delay, or a plumbing leak, missing that call means losing a high-intent lead. According to industry data, 85% of callers who leave a voicemail never return, and for General Contractors, that often translates to a lost $3,500–$10,000 job opportunity—especially when the customer is already vetting contractors for a time-sensitive project.
After-Hours Emergency Calls Go Unanswered
Homeowners don’t wait for business hours when their basement floods or a roof collapses. Yet 62% of calls to small Home Services businesses go unanswered after 5 PM or on weekends. For General Contractors, this means missing critical service calls that could lead to high-margin emergency repair contracts—especially during storm season or winter months when demand spikes. Without an immediate response, customers turn to competitors who can mobilize fast.
High Overhead from Hiring a Full-Time Front Desk Staff
Hiring a dedicated receptionist for a small General Contractors firm costs $3,000–$5,000/month in salary, benefits, and training. For a business with 3–5 field crews, that’s a significant overhead that eats into margins. Many contractors try to handle calls themselves, but with 12+ service calls per week and 3–4 active job sites, it’s impossible to respond in real time. The result? Lost leads, delayed project starts, and frustrated customers.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr
Capture More Leads
Answrr captures every service inquiry—even during a 6-hour framing job on a new build. For example, a homeowner calls at 7:15 PM about a cracked foundation after a storm. The AI answers instantly, collects the address, project type (foundation repair), and urgency level. Within 90 seconds, a confirmed appointment is booked in your calendar for the next morning—giving you a 30% faster response time than competitors. This translates to 12–18 new jobs per year from after-hours leads alone.
Book Appointments Instantly
Customers can book service calls 24/7, including weekends. A homeowner calling at 9:30 PM about a burst pipe can schedule a same-day emergency inspection. The AI confirms availability, sends a text with the contractor’s name and estimated arrival time, and auto-logs the inquiry into your project management system (like Buildertrend or Jobber). In one case, a General Contractor in Atlanta booked 7 emergency appointments in a single week—each worth $2,800–$6,500—just from after-hours call handling.
No Tech Skills Needed
No technical setup required. In under 8 minutes, our AI onboarding assistant walks you through your service areas, common job types (e.g., kitchen remodels, basement finishing, siding replacement), and business hours. Once configured, the AI learns your workflow—like asking, 'Is this a new build or a renovation?' or 'Do you need a structural assessment?'—and handles 92% of inquiries without human input. No training, no IT skills, no learning curve.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“I was on a 3-day framing job in a new subdivision when a client called at 6:45 PM about a bathroom leak during a shower. I was 30 minutes from the site with no signal. Answrr answered, took the details, confirmed a 7:30 AM appointment, and sent me a summary with the homeowner’s address and project notes. I showed up on time, closed the job, and got a 5-star review. That’s $4,200 in revenue I’d have lost otherwise.”

“I was skeptical—how could AI know the difference between a drywall repair and a structural beam replacement? But after setting it up, the AI asked about the type of damage, the home’s age, and even referenced a past project I’d done in the same neighborhood. Customers think they’re talking to my assistant. I’ve booked 14 new jobs in the last 4 months—most from after-hours calls I’d have missed.”

Operations Director, Chen & Co. Construction, General Contractors
“Before Answrr, I was missing 3–5 calls per week during job sites. Now, I get a daily summary: '3 new inquiries, 2 confirmed appointments, 1 emergency roof inspection booked.' I don’t have to check voicemail or worry about missing a lead. My team’s efficiency has improved by 40%, and I’ve reduced no-shows by 22% with automated reminders.”
