For home service businesses

Home Services

AI dispatch agents, after-hours voice receptionists, and lead qualifiers for home service operators, scoped to your service area, your truck count, and the dispatch software you already run.

Service-business inbound is demanding. Calls arrive at all hours, response speed is a major driver of which contractor lands the job, and the dispatcher's morning gets consumed by the same triage every day. We build the AI layer that catches those calls in your business's voice, qualifies them properly, and routes the urgent ones with full context. Below: the capabilities we'd put to work for your operation, and the sub-industries we typically serve.

What we build for Home Services

Capabilities that apply across every home service business.

  • After-hours voice + dispatch

    Picks up emergency calls outside business hours, qualifies severity (no heat, leak, outage, system age), captures the address and equipment details, and routes to the on-call tech with full context, in your business's voice.

  • Lead qualifier

    Replies to every web form, SMS, and Google Local Service inquiry within seconds. Qualifies on system age, urgency, service vs replacement, and books the diagnostic into your existing dispatch software.

  • Recurring service reminders

    Reaches past customers for filter changes, seasonal tune-ups, route renewals, and warranty checks at the right intervals. Drafts the messages, you approve them, and the calendar refills.

  • Post-job review collection

    Asks for a Google or Facebook review at the moment the job wraps, when satisfaction is highest. Tunes the cadence by service type and follows up with the customers who said yes but didn't post.

01 / 07 · For HVAC contractors

HVAC contractors

AI dispatch agents, after-hours voice receptionists, and lead qualifiers for HVAC contractors, scoped to your service area, your truck count, and your existing dispatch software.

Common operational gaps at a HVAC business

  • 01

    After-hours emergency calls roll to voicemail or an answering service that doesn't book, they go to the next contractor in the search.

  • 02

    Lead-qualification eats your dispatcher's morning. Every prospect needs system age, brand, and urgency triaged before a truck rolls.

  • 03

    Repeat-customer follow-ups (filter changes, seasonal tune-ups) get forgotten. The ones you do reach are billable; the rest is revenue left on the table.

  • 04

    Scheduling around weather, parts ETAs, and technician availability is a manual juggling act, overbooking exhausts techs, underbooking wastes capacity.

02 / 07 · For plumbing contractors

Plumbers

AI agents that pick up emergency calls, qualify urgency, and route to the right tech with full context, scoped to your service area and dispatch software.

Common operational gaps at a plumbing business

  • 01

    Burst pipes, sewer backups, and water-heater failures don't wait for business hours. Calls that hit voicemail go to the next plumber in the Google results.

  • 02

    Every inbound needs the same triage: emergency vs scheduled, residential vs commercial, water on / water off, address, fixture details. Dispatchers do this one call at a time.

  • 03

    Recurring service revenue (water-heater flush, backflow testing, drain maintenance) drops first when the day fills with emergencies.

  • 04

    Quote follow-up is inconsistent. Estimates that don't get a same-week nudge usually go cold and book with whoever called back faster.

03 / 07 · For electrical contractors

Electricians

AI agents that qualify new-job inquiries, route emergency calls, and follow up on outstanding estimates, scoped to your service area and field-service software.

Common operational gaps at a electrical contractor

  • 01

    Inbound mixes panel upgrades, EV-charger installs, generator hookups, and emergency outages. Each needs different qualification before a truck rolls.

  • 02

    Estimate follow-up is the largest revenue lever and the easiest to drop. Quotes that go three days without a nudge usually go cold.

  • 03

    Commercial customers want fast scheduling and clear documentation; residential customers want plain-English explanations. Switching between the two eats time.

  • 04

    Permit and inspection coordination is a manual back-and-forth with the city and the customer. Missed inspection windows push the job by a week.

04 / 07 · For roofing contractors

Roofers

AI agents that capture inbound after a storm, schedule inspections, qualify insurance vs cash jobs, and follow up on every outstanding estimate.

Common operational gaps at a roofing contractor

  • 01

    Storm windows are short and brutal. The roofer who replies first books the inspection. Voicemail loses the lead.

  • 02

    Insurance-claim jobs need different intake than cash retail: adjuster timing, deductible, scope of damage, supplement potential. Mixing them confuses the pipeline.

  • 03

    Inspection scheduling is manual and weather-dependent. Reschedules that don't get communicated cleanly become no-shows on both sides.

  • 04

    Estimate follow-up is the single biggest source of lost revenue. Most quotes go cold without a planned nudge cadence.

05 / 07 · For pest control operators

Pest control

AI agents that qualify new-job inquiries, keep recurring quarterly routes filled, and dispatch same-day re-treatments without burning the office manager's day.

Common operational gaps at a pest control business

  • 01

    New-customer calls require fast triage: pest type, severity, residential vs commercial, one-time vs recurring. The first qualified reply books the route.

  • 02

    Recurring quarterly customers are the revenue engine, and missed reschedules erode the route faster than new-customer growth replaces it.

  • 03

    Same-day re-treatment requests need clear ownership. A complaint that takes a day to dispatch costs the customer relationship.

  • 04

    Termite, bed-bug, and wildlife inquiries each require different intake. Routing them all through the same form loses qualified prospects.

06 / 07 · For landscaping and lawn-care operators

Landscaping & lawn care

AI agents that capture spring sign-ups, qualify project inquiries, and keep recurring mow and maintenance routes full through the season.

Common operational gaps at a landscaping business

  • 01

    Spring sign-up windows are short. The lawn-care company that replies first locks the seasonal contract. Voicemail loses the customer.

  • 02

    Project inquiries (hardscape, irrigation, install) need different qualification than recurring mow customers. Mixing them slows the pipeline.

  • 03

    Recurring route capacity has to match weather and crew availability. Last-minute reschedules eat the office manager's afternoon.

  • 04

    Seasonal upsells (fall cleanup, aeration, irrigation winterization) drop first when the team is busy with the main season.

07 / 07 · For house cleaning and maid services

House cleaning & maid services

AI agents that quote new jobs, schedule recurring cleans, and absorb the reschedule churn that eats your day, scoped to your scheduling software.

Common operational gaps at a cleaning business

  • 01

    New-customer quote inquiries need a same-day reply with square footage, frequency, and pets/access details. Slow replies lose to whichever cleaner replied first.

  • 02

    Recurring-customer reschedule churn is constant and eats office-manager hours that should be on growth.

  • 03

    Move-in / move-out and deep-clean jobs each have different intake. A generic form usually loses the higher-margin work.

  • 04

    Last-minute cancellations leave a crew idle for a half day. The right waitlist nudge would refill the slot before the crew arrives.
