The "After-Hours Lead Loss" Problem
Homeowners calling evenings with urgent plumbing issues like leaking pipes or overflowing toilets go unanswered, leading to water damage claims averaging $5,000 per incident
Missed weekend calls for electrical emergencies, such as exposed wiring after storms, cost thousands in potential jobs and risk code violations from the National Electrical Code
Overloaded crews ignore voicemail inquiries for kitchen remodels or bathroom additions during peak renovation seasons, resulting in 20-30% lead loss per project cycle
Nighttime HVAC breakdowns, like furnace failures in winter, lead to competitors snatching urgent service requests and exposing families to carbon monoxide risks
Forgotten follow-ups on roofing estimates for hail-damaged shingles after hours erode client trust and allow competitors to secure jobs worth $10,000+ on average
Early morning drywall repair inquiries for water-damaged walls slip through during crew commutes, delaying insurance-approved fixes and increasing mold remediation costs

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we'd lose half our weekend calls for emergency electrical panel upgrades or storm-related wiring fixes. Now, it books jobs while we're on site installing outlets, and we've added three new crews this year without missing a beat, boosting our annual revenue by 35%."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera Electrical and Plumbing Services
"A homeowner called at 2 AM about a flooding basement from a burst water line—we got the details logged, including pipe location and damage extent, and a plumber dispatched by 7 AM. That one job, valued at $4,200, paid for the system in a month, and our Google response rating jumped from 3.2 to 4.8 stars within two months."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI handle technical questions about building materials or timelines?
Our AI voice agents are trained on your specific expertise, including common contractor knowledge like lumber types, permit timelines, and installation methods. For a query on framing a new deck, it provides accurate details pulled from your knowledge base and escalates to a human if needed. This ensures homeowners get reliable info instantly, building trust without waiting for office hours. We've fine-tuned this for over 150 contractors, reducing miscommunications by 50% and increasing close rates on estimates.
What if a call is too urgent for AI, like a live electrical hazard?
Safety first. The AI is programmed to recognize high-risk keywords—like 'sparking wires' or 'gas leak'—and immediately transfer to an on-call human or emergency service if you're unavailable. It also logs the details for your team to follow up swiftly. In tests with partner firms, this protocol prevented escalation in 95% of urgent cases, while still capturing the job lead for billing later.
Can this system integrate with my existing scheduling and invoicing tools?
Absolutely. We build deep, custom integrations with popular home services software like Housecall Pro, Buildertrend, or QuickBooks. When the AI books a job for foundation repair, it auto-creates the entry, assigns a crew, and even generates a preliminary invoice. This eliminates double-entry errors that cost contractors hours weekly. Our enterprise architecture ensures it scales, handling integrations for small shops or large firms with multiple locations.
How much does it cost to set up and maintain the AI phone system?
Setup starts with a one-time build fee tailored to your needs, typically $5,000-$15,000 for general contractors, covering custom design and integration. Maintenance is minimal—about $200/month for hosting and updates—far less than hiring a receptionist. Unlike subscription models that balloon with usage, you own the system, so costs stay predictable as your call volume grows during busy seasons like spring renovations.
Is the AI customizable for my specific services, like kitchen remodels or HVAC installs?
Yes, we customize every aspect. During discovery, we map your service lines—say, cabinetry details or ductwork sizing—and train the AI accordingly. It can even reference your pricing tiers for accurate quotes. One client in remodeling saw a 35% uptick in qualified leads because the AI spoke directly to their niche, asking targeted questions that generic systems miss. This client-relationship focus keeps it aligned with your proven track record.
What happens if the AI mishears a call or provides wrong information?
Accuracy is core to our design. We use advanced speech recognition with 98% accuracy in noisy environments, like calls from job sites. Post-deployment, we monitor transcripts and retrain the model on any edge cases, such as regional accents or jargon like 'drywall mudding.' If an error slips through, the system flags it for review and offers a human transfer. This proactive approach has kept error rates under 2% for our home services clients, safeguarding your reputation.
