The High Cost of Missed Calls

27%

Missed Emergency Repair Calls During Peak Hours or After Business Hours

General contractors face a critical challenge when emergency calls—such as burst pipes, structural damage, or storm-related roof leaks—go unanswered. During peak seasons (spring and fall), inbound call volume can spike by up to 40%, overwhelming in-house staff. With an average call abandonment rate of 27% for home services providers (per Lead Advisors, 2024), many homeowners hang up after waiting in a call queue for more than 30 seconds. This is especially damaging for urgent jobs where timing directly impacts repair costs and customer trust. For example, a 2 a.m. call about a leaking roof that goes unattended can result in water damage escalating from $1,500 to over $10,000 in structural repairs—costs that could have been avoided with immediate response.

85%

Lost After-Hours Opportunities

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Capture More Leads

Answrr captures every inbound call—even during high-volume periods like remodeling season—by using intelligent IVR and real-time call routing to qualify leads. For instance, a general contractor in Atlanta reported that after implementing Answrr, they captured 92% of leads that previously went to voicemail. The system asks targeted questions like 'Is this an emergency repair?' or 'Are you looking for a bathroom renovation or full home remodel?'—enabling instant lead scoring. These qualified leads are synced to their CRM within 60 seconds, reducing follow-up time from 48 hours to under 10 minutes. This results in a 40% increase in booked appointments, including same-day emergency jobs, directly boosting project pipeline velocity.

Convin’s 2025 analysis shows that contractors using AI-powered virtual receptionists achieve 40% more appointment bookings compared to those relying on voicemail or human receptionists, due to reduced call abandonment and faster lead follow-up.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We were losing at least 3–4 emergency calls per week because our team was on-site or in meetings. After switching to Answrr, we answered every call—even at 11 p.m. during a storm. Last month, a client called about a collapsed porch beam at 1:30 a.m. The AI receptionist confirmed it was an emergency, booked a same-day inspection, and even pulled up their previous deck renovation file. We secured the job and completed the repair in 24 hours. That’s not just a lead—it’s a lifetime customer. Our SLA compliance has gone from 68% to 97%.
