The "Lead Overload" Problem
Leads for roofing replacements and deck installations slipping through cracks during peak summer construction seasons, resulting in a 25% drop in booked jobs per industry reports from the National Association of Home Builders
Manual sorting of homeowner inquiries on remodel timelines for bathroom renovations and cost estimates for window installations, leading to estimator burnout
Wasted hours chasing unqualified leads from DIY enthusiasts inquiring about minor fence repairs instead of serious clients seeking full-home electrical upgrades
Disconnected systems causing double-booking of site visits for foundation inspections and crew conflicts on kitchen remodel timelines
Delayed follow-ups on emergency repair calls for burst pipes or storm-damaged roofs, leading to lost revenue as competitors swoop in within 24 hours
Overloaded estimators juggling emails, voicemails, and paper notes from on-site job walks for HVAC system assessments and siding quotes

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time Savings and ROI That Scale Your Contracting Business
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Lead Handling
Reclaim 15-20 Hours Weekly on Lead Handling: Your estimators spend less time logging calls about siding replacements or HVAC installs and more time on the road conducting site surveys. Our system auto-captures and categorizes leads, slashing manual entry by 80%. That's time redirected to bidding on larger commercial remodels, directly boosting your quarterly revenue by an average of 22%, per industry data from the National Association of Home Builders, with full ROI realized within 3-6 months.
Achieve 3x ROI Through Smarter Lead Prioritization
Achieve 3x ROI Through Smarter Lead Prioritization: Focus on leads with real potential—like homeowners ready for kitchen overhauls budgeted at $20K+—while low-value inquiries get polite auto-responses. Contractors report a 35% increase in conversion rates within the first quarter, translating to $150K+ in additional project wins annually for mid-sized firms handling 50-100 remodels yearly. This efficiency gain compounds as your pipeline fills with qualified bids, not guesswork, reducing no-show rates by 40%.
Boost Productivity with Instant Workflow Integration
Boost Productivity with Instant Workflow Integration: Leads flow directly into your project management tools like Buildertrend or Procore, scheduling initial consultations for foundation repairs without back-and-forth emails. Save on overtime costs for admin staff and reduce errors in quoting roofing estimates by up to 15%. Our clients see a 28% productivity lift within the first season, allowing crews to tackle 10% more jobs like deck builds without burnout, cutting labor costs by $5K per month.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under voicemails and emails from potential clients asking about garage additions and permit timelines. Now, the system qualifies them overnight using custom criteria for budget and scope, and we've landed three big remodels worth $250K in the last two months that we would've missed. It's saved us about 12 hours a week on admin, and our close rate jumped from 15% to 32% on residential projects."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Apex Home Builders (serving 200+ custom remodels annually in the Midwest)
"We handle a lot of emergency calls for water damage repairs from burst pipes in older homes, but following up was a nightmare with our old spreadsheet setup scattered across multiple job sites. Their custom automation routes hot leads straight to our foremen with photos and initial damage assessments, cutting response time to under an hour. Revenue's up 18% this year on restoration projects, and the estimators aren't pulling weekends anymore, freeing them for proactive roof inspections."
Sarah Chen
Owner, Reliable Restore Contractors (specializing in flood and fire restoration for 50+ homes quarterly)
"Integrating this with our QuickBooks and Jobber scheduling has been a game-changer for tracking leads on commercial tenant improvements like office fit-outs. No more lost bids because of forgotten follow-ups on electrical rough-ins. We've seen a solid 25% efficiency gain over six months, and it's helped us expand to two new crews handling HVAC installs without the usual growing pains of mismatched timelines."
Tom Harlan
Project Director, Harlan Construction Services (managing $10M+ in annual commercial and tenant improvement contracts)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle seasonal spikes in leads, like during hurricane season for roof repairs?
Our custom-built system is designed with scalability in mind, using robust AI frameworks that handle surges without slowdowns. For general contractors, we incorporate historical data on peak periods—such as post-storm inquiries—to auto-scale resources. Leads get qualified instantly via criteria like damage descriptions from calls or photos uploaded to forms. In one deployment for a Florida-based firm, we managed a 300% lead increase during hurricane season, routing 85% to field teams within hours. This prevents overload, ensuring no emergency repair bid slips away. We also include monitoring tools so you can adjust thresholds, like prioritizing tarping jobs over cosmetic fixes, all while maintaining 99.9% uptime backed by enterprise-grade hosting.
Will this integrate with my existing tools like Jobber or Buildertrend for scheduling site visits?
Absolutely, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to home services platforms. Unlike superficial links that break, our engineers build secure APIs connecting your lead system directly to Jobber or Buildertrend. For instance, a qualified lead for a kitchen demo gets auto-scheduled as a site visit, pulling in details like square footage from the initial inquiry. We've done this for dozens of contractors, reducing double-bookings by 70%. The setup includes custom mappings for your workflow—say, flagging electrical-heavy remodels for specialized crews—and ongoing tweaks to match updates in those tools. This creates a unified pipeline, saving your team from toggling between apps and letting you focus on winning the bid.
What kind of ROI can a mid-sized general contracting firm expect from this service?
Based on our track record with similar clients, you can anticipate a 3-5x ROI within the first year, driven by time savings and higher close rates. For a firm handling 200 leads annually, automation cuts manual processing from 15 hours to 2 per week, freeing estimators for $200K+ in additional bids. Industry stats from the Associated General Contractors show automated leads convert 25-35% better, adding 15-20% to revenue without extra marketing spend. We quantify this upfront in your consultation with a custom projection based on your current pipeline—factoring in job types like additions or repairs. Long-term, ownership of the system avoids $10K+ yearly in subscriptions, compounding your gains as you scale to more complex projects.
How secure is the lead data, especially with sensitive homeowner details like addresses for job quotes?
Security is paramount in home services, where leads often include home addresses, budgets, and timelines for personal projects. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, compliant with GDPR and CCPA standards, using AWS secure infrastructure. Data is anonymized during AI processing—e.g., scoring a lead for a basement finish without exposing full details—and access is role-based, so only estimators see full profiles. In a recent project for a California contractor, we implemented audit logs tracking every lead touchpoint, preventing breaches during high-volume remodel seasons. Regular penetration testing and backups ensure 100% data integrity. You'll receive a full security overview in our discovery phase, plus options for on-premise hosting if preferred, giving you peace of mind while scaling your operations.
Can this system nurture leads that aren't ready for immediate projects, like future deck builds?
Yes, our AI excels at long-term nurturing, customized to the cyclical nature of home services. We design sequences that drip relevant content—e.g., seasonal guides on outdoor living trends for deck inquiries—based on lead behavior and timing clues like 'planning for spring.' For a Midwest client, this re-engaged 40% of dormant leads within six months, converting them into $80K in patio jobs. The system tracks interactions across email, SMS, and your website, scoring readiness and triggering personalized outreach, such as budget calculators for additions. Unlike generic tools, it's built around your sales cycle, integrating with calendars to suggest re-engagement during off-peak times. This builds lasting client relationships, turning one-off repairs into repeat business for remodels.
How long does it take to implement this for our contracting team?
Implementation typically takes 6-8 weeks for a standard general contracting setup, but we accelerate for urgent needs. Week 1-2: Deep dive into your lead sources, like calls from trade shows or online ads for window replacements. Weeks 3-5: Custom build and integration testing with your CRM and scheduling apps. Weeks 6-8: Phased rollout with team training and live monitoring. For a Texas firm last year, we compressed this to 5 weeks by prioritizing core features like auto-qualification for flood restoration leads. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of optimization to hit peak efficiency. This timeline ensures minimal disruption to your ongoing jobs, with quick wins like automated capture live in the first two weeks.
