Struggling to prioritize emergency remodels like storm-damaged siding over routine maintenance calls such as gutter cleanings
Losing track of repeat clients needing HVAC tune-ups in a sea of one-off inquiries for minor plumbing fixes
Dealing with seasonal lead spikes in spring for deck installations that overwhelm your crew scheduling and cause 30% overtime costs

Our Custom-Built Lead Scoring Solution for General Contractors
With over a decade of experience architecting AI systems for expertise-driven industries like home services, we've helped contractors reclaim control over their pipelines.
Why Choose Us
Generic lead scoring tools treat every prospect like a cookie-cutter customer, ignoring the nuances of construction timelines, budget constraints, and client relationships that define your work. We build a tailored AI model from the ground up, trained on your historical data—past bids, close rates, and project outcomes. It's like having a seasoned foreman who instantly spots the jobs worth bidding on. Flexible and scalable, this system integrates directly into your daily tools, ensuring it fits your exact workflow without disrupting on-site operations.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Enterprise-Grade Efficiency Tailored to Your Contracting Needs
Higher Close Rates on Profitable Jobs
Higher Close Rates on Profitable Jobs: Focus your bids on leads with a 70%+ conversion likelihood for projects like custom cabinetry installs, cutting wasted proposals by 50%. Contractors using our system report closing 2.5x more high-margin kitchen remodels quarterly—such as a $45K granite countertop job in Q2—freeing up crews for revenue-driving work without added overhead.
Streamlined Crew Scheduling and Resource Allocation
Streamlined Crew Scheduling and Resource Allocation: Prioritize urgent roofing repairs over exploratory deck consultations during peak storm season, reducing scheduling conflicts by 40%. This means your teams spend less time idling on low-priority fence repairs and more time on-site for shingle replacements, boosting overall project throughput without hiring extras and saving 15% on labor costs annually.
Deeper Client Relationships Through Predictive Insights
Deeper Client Relationships Through Predictive Insights: Identify repeat business opportunities early, like spotting homeowners likely to upgrade from basic drywall repairs to full basement remodels within 6 months. This proactive approach has helped clients increase lifetime value by 35%, turning one-time fixes into ongoing partnerships—such as converting a $2K patch job into a $30K finished space project.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd bid on every lead that came in for things like window replacements, only to have half fizzle out after the walkthrough. Their scoring system now flags the real opportunities—like that $150K family room addition project we closed in under two weeks last spring after scoring it 85% viable. It's cut our chase time in half and doubled our quarterly bookings."
Mike Reynolds
Owner, Reynolds Home Improvements, specializing in residential additions and remodels
"As a general contractor, seasonal rushes in summer for patio builds used to bury us in bad leads that didn't convert. After implementing their custom model trained on our historical data, we're hitting 45% close rates on asphalt shingle roofing jobs, up from 22% last year. The integration with our Jobber CRM was seamless—no more double-entry headaches, and we've shaved two days off our lead-to-contract cycle."
Sarah Patel
Operations Manager, Patel Construction Co., focused on exterior home renovations
"We were losing bids to competitors on tile work because we couldn't quickly assess lead quality from initial calls. AIQ's tool scores based on our past data from over 500 bathroom projects, helping us prioritize renos that fit our expertise like walk-in shower installs. Revenue's up 28% this year to $1.2M, and our estimators love the clarity—it’s like having an extra set of eyes on every inquiry."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring differ from standard CRM features?
Unlike built-in CRM filters that rely on basic tags, our custom AI analyzes multifaceted data like inquiry phrasing, response times, and past project similarities to predict true conversion odds. For general contractors, this means distinguishing a serious kitchen remodel lead from a casual inquiry, based on your historical 75% close rate patterns. We train the model exclusively on your data, achieving 85% accuracy versus the 60% industry average for generic tools. Implementation takes 4-6 weeks, with full integration into your workflow, reducing manual sorting by 50% and letting you focus on bids that win.
What data do you need to build the scoring model?
We start with your existing lead records—things like quote requests, site visit notes, and closed job details from the past 12-24 months. No need for perfect datasets; we handle cleaning and augmentation. For home services specifics, we'll incorporate elements like project scopes (e.g., roofing vs. additions), regional factors, and client follow-up histories. This ensures the AI understands nuances, such as higher scores for leads mentioning 'urgent' repairs. Privacy is paramount—we use anonymized data and comply with all regs, delivering a model that's yours to own without ongoing data shares.
Can this integrate with my current tools like QuickBooks or Jobber?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations that sync lead scores directly into your scheduling and invoicing systems. For instance, a high-scoring lead auto-populates in Jobber with priority flags, while QuickBooks gets enriched with projected job values for cash flow forecasting. This eliminates silos, preventing the double-entry that costs contractors 10-15 hours weekly. Our production-ready setups handle high volumes, like 200+ leads during peak seasons, without lag. Post-launch, we provide tweaks to adapt as your tools evolve.
How accurate is the lead scoring for seasonal home services work?
Our models hit 80-90% accuracy for contractors, factoring in seasonal patterns like spring siding surges or winter pipe repair spikes. By training on your historical data, it adjusts scores dynamically—boosting weights for time-sensitive leads during bad weather. Benchmarks show users reduce unqualified bids by 45%, directly impacting margins in a industry where 30% of leads are seasonal duds. We include validation phases to fine-tune, ensuring reliability as your business scales from 50 to 500 jobs annually.
What's the timeline and cost for a custom lead scoring setup?
Timeline is 6-8 weeks: two for discovery, three for building and testing, and one for integration and training. Costs start at $15,000 for SMB contractors, scaling with complexity—far below the $50K+ yearly losses from poor lead management. This one-time investment yields ROI in 3-4 months through 30% higher closes. Unlike subscription models averaging $2K/month, you own the system outright, with optional maintenance at $500/month. We offer a free audit to estimate your exact fit.
Will this help with nurturing long-term client relationships in contracting?
Yes, our scoring goes beyond one-off jobs by tracking relationship signals, like repeat inquiries or referral potential, to score for lifetime value. For example, it flags homeowners who've done minor repairs as high-potential for future expansions, increasing upsell opportunities by 25%. Integrated nurturing workflows send timed follow-ups, strengthening ties in an industry where 60% of revenue comes from repeats. This custom approach ensures your AI supports the client-focused ethos of home services, not just immediate wins.
