Cut our response time from days to minutes, and our client satisfaction jumped from 4.2 to 4.8 stars in two months on Google reviews."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle specific carpentry questions like wood staining techniques?
Our custom AI is trained exclusively on your business data, including guides, past projects, and expert notes on everything from polyurethane applications to eco-friendly stains. It provides accurate, tailored advice instantly—drawing from your proven methods to build trust. For instance, if a client asks about weather-resistant finishes for outdoor decks, it references your successful installs and suggests options with pros, cons, and timelines. If the query gets too nuanced, it seamlessly hands off to you. This setup has helped carpenters like you reduce misinformation and boost close rates by 35%, all while maintaining your authoritative voice in conversations.
Can it integrate with my existing scheduling software for carpenters?
Absolutely. We build deep, two-way integrations with tools like Housecall Pro, Jobber, or even custom calendars, ensuring the chatbot checks real-time availability for site visits or shop consultations. When a lead inquires about framing a new kitchen, it pulls your open slots and books directly—syncing details like measurements needed. No more double-entry errors that plague manual processes. We've seen this cut scheduling conflicts by 50% for busy shops, letting you focus on the hands-on work. Setup takes just a week, with full testing to match your workflow perfectly.
What if a customer needs to discuss a complex custom build—does the bot escalate properly?
Yes, escalation is smart and context-driven. The AI assesses query complexity—say, a multi-phase cabinetry remodel requiring design tweaks—and routes it to your team via email, SMS, or direct call with full conversation history attached. It even pre-summarizes key points, like budget constraints or style preferences, saving you time. In one case, a carpenter client handled 80% of routine queries autonomously while escalating only 20% effectively, increasing overall response speed without overwhelming staff. We fine-tune thresholds during build to align with your preferences.
Is the chatbot available 24/7 for after-hours emergency repairs?
Round-the-clock availability is core to our design. It operates non-stop, addressing urgent issues like broken stair railings or flood-damaged trim with immediate triage—gathering photos, details, and ETA estimates based on your service radius. For non-emergencies, it queues inquiries for morning follow-up. This has proven vital in home services, where 62% of repair leads come outside business hours. Our system logs everything securely, ensuring you start each day with actionable insights, never missing a chance to turn a crisis into a loyal client.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small carpentry business?
Pricing starts at $8,000 for a tailored build, scaling based on integrations and features—like adding voice for shop calls. This one-time investment replaces ongoing subscriptions (often $200+/month elsewhere) and delivers ROI through captured leads; clients typically see payback in 3-6 months via 25-40% more bookings. We offer flexible payment plans and a free audit to scope exact needs. Unlike generic tools, ours is owned by you—no hidden fees, just enterprise-grade performance customized to your scale, from solo operations to teams of 20.
Will the chatbot sound like a real carpenter or a robotic generic?
We craft it to mirror your voice—warm, knowledgeable, and trade-savvy—using your phrasing from past emails or site copy. It avoids stiff corporate lingo, opting for practical advice like 'That oak will hold up great for your mantel, but let's chat about sealing it against humidity.' Trained on real carpenter interactions, it builds rapport quickly. Feedback from users shows 85% of clients prefer it over waiting for a call-back, feeling like they're talking to a shop insider. We iterate post-launch to keep it authentic as your business evolves.
