What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains That Hit Your Bottom Line
15-20 Hours Saved Weekly on Routine Follow-Ups
15-20 Hours Saved Weekly on Routine Follow-Ups for Trim and Fixture Installs: Imagine redirecting those hours from chasing payments on deck builds to hands-on milling of custom moldings. Carpenters report reclaiming 8-10 billable hours per week for on-site work, translating to <span class="gradient">$1,500+ in added revenue</span> monthly at $75/hour skilled labor rates – pure profit from automating what used to bury your schedule.
30% Faster Project Close Rates with Timely Outreach
30% Faster Project Close Rates with Timely Outreach on Custom Builds: In a field where bids for pergolas or hardwood flooring expire if not nurtured within 72 hours, our automation sends personalized reminders post-consult, such as quote recaps for wainscoting. This drives a <span class="gradient">25-35% ROI</span> in under six months through shorter sales cycles and 15-20% higher win rates, capitalizing on the 70% of home service leads that convert with prompt follow-up.
Streamlined Client Relationships Without the Admin Overload
Streamlined Client Relationships Without the Admin Overload for Post-Install Care: Consistent check-ins on refinished stairs or installed vanities build loyalty, but manual tracking eats into shop time. Our system automates sequences for 30-day and 90-day follow-ups, increasing repeat remodel business by 40% while you prioritize precise joinery and on-site measurements. This reduces client churn by 25% and boosts lifetime value in an industry where referrals account for 60% of revenue.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, I'd scribble follow-up notes on plywood scraps after installing kitchen islands, only to lose them amid the sawdust by Friday. Now, the system auto-texts clients about their new quartz countertops two weeks after install, turning forgotten leads into three repeat jobs for matching vanities last quarter alone. Saved me 12 hours a week – that's time back for bidding on bigger remodels."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Custom Millwork & Renovations
"Bids for custom barn doors were chaos – emails stacking up while I was knee-deep in framing a sunroom addition. Their automation filters for urgent ones and auto-schedules site visits for the rest, like follow-ups on oak paneling quotes. We closed 20% more projects last quarter, including two high-end entryways, without adding staff. It's like a detail-oriented apprentice who nails every deadline."
Sarah Ruiz
Lead Finisher, Ruiz Bespoke Woodworking LLC
"We kept dropping the ball on maintenance check-ins for our pergola installations because job-site overruns left no bandwidth. Since switching, the AI dispatches tailored emails at the 45-day mark, and one led to a full backyard pavilion extension just four months later. Slashed my admin from 18 hours to 5 weekly – transformative for keeping our three-man crew focused on builds, not paperwork."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle the unique timing of carpentry projects?
Carpentry isn't clockwork – a custom staircase might take weeks, while a quick shelf install wraps in days. Our AI analyzes your historical data to set intelligent triggers, like a gentle nudge two days after a bid for small jobs or a phased check-in at the rough-cut stage for larger builds. We've seen this approach cut response delays by 60%, ensuring you catch clients at peak interest without constant manual monitoring. It's all custom-coded to mirror your workflow, integrating with tools like Jobber or Housecall Pro for seamless timing.
Will the system personalize messages to sound like my team?
Absolutely. Generic bots sound robotic, which erodes trust in client-focused trades like yours. We train the AI on your past communications – pulling phrasing from real emails about oak flooring or walnut cabinets – to generate messages that feel authentic, like 'Hey John, just circling back on that deck railing design we sketched last week.' Early adopters report 35% higher open rates because it builds on the rapport you've already established, all while saving you from typing every note.
What if I already use scheduling software – does it integrate?
Integration is our specialty. Whether you're on Google Calendar, Buildertrend, or CoConstruct, we build two-way APIs that sync follow-ups directly – no more double-entry that leads to missed calls during framing rushes. For instance, if a client's remodel bid expires, the system flags it and auto-schedules a reminder around your on-site blocks. This eliminates the 'forgotten in the van' syndrome, with clients noting up to 25% fewer scheduling errors in our deployments.
How secure is client data in this setup?
Security is non-negotiable when handling home addresses and project details. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and comply with standards like GDPR, storing data in fortified AWS environments. Unlike patchwork tools, our custom builds include role-based access – so only you see full bid histories – and automated logs for any warranty-related audits. In the home services world, where a data slip could tank referrals, we've helped firms avoid breaches that cost the industry $4.5M annually in losses.
What's the ROI timeline for carpenters like me?
Most see payback in 2-3 months. Take a mid-sized shop: manual follow-ups ate 15 hours weekly at $75/hour labor cost – that's $4,500 monthly lost. Our system reclaims that, plus drives 20-30% more conversions from nurtured leads, adding $10K+ in revenue quarterly. We benchmark against industry stats from sources like the National Association of Home Builders, tracking your metrics post-launch to prove the gains, like faster closes on custom furniture upsells.
Can I scale this as my business grows?
Yes, designed for it. Starting solo? It handles your 20 weekly client touches. Expanding to a crew of 10? The system scales effortlessly, adding user roles for lead carpenters to oversee follow-ups on multiple sites without chaos. We've scaled similar setups for firms doubling revenue, adapting to increased volume like seasonal porch builds, all without performance dips – because it's custom-built, not a rigid template straining under load.
