What Clients Say
"We were dropping weekend leads left and right—folks asking about eco-friendly bamboo options and their VOC ratings at 8 PM on Saturday. Since implementing the AIQ chatbot three months ago, we've captured 12 extra jobs we would've lost, including two full-room bamboo installs worth $18K, and our response rate jumped from 40% to 95%. It's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps and knows our bamboo acclimation process inside out."
Mike Rivera
Owner, Rivera's Flooring Pros
"Handling after-hours questions on carpet padding thickness for Berber styles used to mean frantic calls the next day. The custom bot now answers specifics on our wool blends and 8-lb density options instantly and even schedules measure-ins for the following morning. In the last quarter, it helped us close $45K in deals from inquiries we never knew existed, including three commercial carpet replacements. Game-changer for our small team during remodel season."
Sarah Chen
Operations Manager, Elite Tile & Floor
"As a mid-sized flooring outfit, we struggled with luxury vinyl plank stock checks for 7mm thickness during evenings when clients were planning bathroom renos. The chatbot integrates with our inventory system perfectly—clients get real-time availability on SPC core options, and we've reduced no-shows by 20% through automated reminders. Took about six weeks to set up with our supplier feeds, but the ROI was immediate with two big kitchen refits booked overnight totaling $22K."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle specific flooring questions like matching stain colors?
Our custom chatbot is trained exclusively on your business data, including detailed catalogs of stains, finishes, and wood grains. For instance, if a client asks about matching a cherry hardwood to an existing floor, it pulls from your inventory and provides options with images or links. It even cross-references common pairings from your past projects. If needed, it escalates to your team with full context. This setup has helped contractors like yours achieve 90% resolution rates on first contact, reducing phone time by 35%. We fine-tune it during onboarding to align with your expertise, ensuring responses build trust like an in-person consult.
Can it integrate with my existing scheduling software for appointment booking?
Absolutely. We build deep, two-way integrations with tools like Jobber or Housecall Pro, common in home services. The chatbot can check real-time availability for flooring installs, suggest slots based on crew locations, and book directly—confirming via email or text. For a recent flooring client, this cut manual scheduling by 20 hours weekly. It's not a shallow plugin; our engineers ensure it's robust, handling conflicts like overlapping laminate jobs without errors. Post-launch, we monitor and optimize to fit your exact workflow, preventing the integration nightmares that plague off-the-shelf bots.
What happens if a query is too complex for the AI to handle alone?
We've designed intelligent handoffs that feel natural. The chatbot recognizes limits—like intricate queries on custom parquet patterns—and seamlessly transfers to your team via chat, email, or call, passing along the full conversation history. No client frustration. In practice, only 15% of flooring inquiries need escalation, per our benchmarks, and those resolve 25% faster with the prep work done. It's like having a smart assistant tee up the tough shots for your pros, maintaining that client-relationship focus essential in home services.
How long does it take to set up the custom chatbot for my flooring business?
Typically 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to live deployment, depending on your workflow complexity. We start with a deep dive into your operations—catalogs, common pain points like after-hours tile queries—then build and test iteratively. For a mid-sized flooring contractor, we launched in five weeks, integrating with their CRM and training on 200+ product SKUs. It's faster than generic solutions because we avoid cookie-cutter setups; everything's bespoke. Ongoing tweaks ensure it evolves, with 99% uptime guaranteed through our production-ready architecture.
Is the chatbot secure for handling client data in the home services industry?
Security is paramount, especially with sensitive details like home addresses for measurements. We use enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR-compliant data handling, and role-based access to protect info. No third-party dependencies that could leak—it's all custom-built on secure frameworks. Flooring clients we've served report zero breaches, and our systems audit interactions for compliance. Think of it as a fortified showroom: safe, reliable, and focused on safeguarding relationships. We also provide training on data best practices to keep your operations airtight.
Will the chatbot improve my lead conversion rates for flooring projects?
Yes, significantly. By providing instant, expert responses 24/7—like quick quotes on engineered hardwood— it nurtures leads that might otherwise cool off. Our clients see a 40% uplift in conversions from captured after-hours inquiries, turning browsers into booked installs. It's not just reactive; the AI qualifies prospects by asking about square footage or budget subtly, prioritizing hot leads for your team. Backed by analytics, we track metrics like response-to-booking ratios, optimizing for your specific market to maximize ROI in a competitive field.
