The AI receptionist for contractors

You're on a job site with a saw running and a client walking the plans with you. The phone rings — a remodel that's worth more than your truck. CallEmBack answers, writes down the project and the address, and you call back a real lead instead of finding a voicemail at 7pm.

Why contractors lose jobs to missed calls

Site noise, gloves, and a client standing in front of you — three reasons the phone can't be answered, all happening at once.
Contracting leads are big and slow: one missed estimate call can be worth more than a month of every other lead you paid for.
Homeowners planning a remodel call three contractors in an afternoon. The one who talks to them first frames the budget everyone else gets compared to.

62% of calls to small businesses go unanswered · 85% of voicemail callers never call back · 78% hire whoever responds first

Questions contractors ask us

My jobs are custom. Won't an AI say something that boxes me in?

It can't — it has no field for a price and no way to confirm a date. It takes what the caller describes, the address, and their timeline, then says you'll call back. Every number and commitment still comes from you, after you've seen the job.

How is this different from the answering service my GC uses?

Mostly price and behaviour. Human services bill per minute — wrong numbers and supplier calls burn the same minutes as customers — and typically land at $200–350/month. This is $49 flat, answers every call at once during a busy week, and hands you a written brief rather than a message slip.

Can it tell a homeowner from a sub or a supplier?

It records who's calling and what they want, so you see it before you dial back. Sales calls and wrong numbers get ended politely instead of becoming leads.

I already miss calls on purpose when I'm bidding. Does that change?

No — that's the point. You keep ignoring the phone. The difference is that by the time you look at it, the caller has already been spoken to in your company's name and you know whether it's worth interrupting your day.
