Why contractors lose leads between the job site and the office
- “I'm up on a roof when the phone rings. By the time I call back, they've booked somebody else.”
- “We send the quote and then nothing. Nobody has time to chase it.”
- “Half our leads come in after six. They sit there until morning.”
- “I've got a CRM, a scheduling app and a spreadsheet, and none of them talk to each other.”
The work is good. The leads just leak out between the job site and the office.

AI receptionist & automation FAQStraightanswers.
What is an AI receptionist for contractors?
It's a voice AI that answers your business line and calls new leads back, in your company's name. It asks your qualifying questions, books the estimate on your calendar and texts you a summary with the recording. More on the AI receptionist.
What is speed to lead, and why does it matter?
Speed to lead is the time between a lead asking for a quote and someone getting back to them. Homeowners usually call two or three contractors, and the first one to call back tends to get the job. Our system calls within 60 seconds, day or night. More on speed to lead.
How is this different from an answering service?
An answering service takes a message. This books the job. The AI asks your questions, puts the estimate on your calendar, logs everything in your CRM and follows up on quotes that go quiet.
What does it cost?
Each package is a fixed price, quoted on the audit call once we know your lead volume and the tools you use. There's no hourly billing. Founding 5 contractors get the build at no cost.
How fast can it be live?
Most builds go live in 2–4 weeks. Most of that time is spent testing it with you before real customers see it.
Will the AI sound like a robot?
Judge for yourself. The live demo calls your phone and answers as your business. It takes about a minute.
Do I need to change my software?
Usually not. We connect what you already use, like your CRM, calendar, phone and email. If something's missing, we'll tell you on the audit and explain why.
What's the catch with the Founding 5?
There's no catch, just a trade. We build the full suite at no cost. In return, you give us honest feedback and your before-and-after numbers, plus a review and a short case study if you're happy with the results.
Where do you work?
We work with contractors in the US and Canada, all remotely.
