The average home-services business misses 63% of incoming calls. At a $400 average ticket and 3 calls a day, that’s $87,000 a year on the floor. An AI receptionist answers every ring, books on your calendar, and sends you a summary.
We set up a generic AI receptionist for a fictional plumbing company called Pipeline Plumbers. The agent you’re about to chat with is the same one we’d build for your business, just with your services and your calendar instead of theirs. Try a few questions below.
Pipeline Plumbers demo. Try asking for pricing, an emergency, or just say hi.

Industry averages get you in the ballpark. Your numbers tell the truth. Adjust the three inputs below to match your business and the calculator runs the math live.
At your call volume, the AI receptionist pays for itself in about 2 months, even if it only recovers 10% of what's on the floor.
Math: calls per week × 52 × your missed-call rate × your average ticket = revenue on the floor. Annual cost of the service: $3,987 ($999 setup + $199/mo + ~$50/mo usage). Recovery is held to a deliberately conservative 10%, so the payback number is a floor, not a ceiling.
Think of it as four jobs handled by one always-on hire. Each role is tied to one outcome you can measure on Monday morning.
Picks up every call within two rings. After hours, weekends, holidays, lunch break, on the truck. Never voicemail.
Identifies what they need (service type, urgency, address), answers basic FAQs, and triages. No more spam calls or tire-kickers eating your time.
Real-time calendar integration. The AI offers actual open slots, the caller picks one, the appointment lands on your calendar before the call ends.
After every call: a transcript, a summary, and the contact saved to your CRM. You wake up to the night’s appointments already on your calendar.
Most failed AI receptionist installs fail because the agency rushed to deploy. They picked a voice, dropped in a generic greeting, and called it a day. Two days later the AI quoted wrong pricing or fumbled a booking, the owner shut it off, and the agency lost the client. We don’t do that. Before any code or call routing, we capture the six layers below.
Hours, service area, the way you talk to your customers.
What you offer, what it costs, what counts as an emergency.
The 15 questions every caller asks before they book a job.
Slot availability, drive time, double-booking rules.
When the AI hands off to you via SMS, when it keeps the call.
How the AI sounds, what it never says, how it ends a call.
No quote-on-request. No tiers to navigate. The AI Receptionist is one product.

Most home-services businesses see $20 to $80 in monthly usage depending on call volume. The Suite tier (see pricing) bundles the AI Receptionist into a full-service package for $899/mo total plus usage.
20 minutes on the phone, plus a short followup form covering all six discovery layers above.
We script the call flow, voice the agent, integrate with your calendar, and set up the dashboard. About three days of work.
We run a half dozen test calls and send you the recordings. You approve, or we tune. We do not go live until you sign off.
Your business line routes to the AI receptionist. You get the dashboard, the transcripts, and the SMS summaries from day one.
Modern voice quality. We pick a persona that fits your brand (warm, professional, or local accent) and tune it for your specific business. Most callers don’t realize it’s not a person until you tell them. The AI is designed to be helpful and polite, never robotic.
Two configurations are available. After-hours only: the AI answers nights, weekends, and holidays. Or 24/7 with overflow: the AI takes calls when your line is busy or unanswered after a few rings. We set this up based on your team’s coverage.
Native integration with Go High Level (the CRM most home-services businesses already use) and Google Calendar. Other calendar systems (Calendly, Acuity, ServiceTitan) are supported via webhook integrations.
Voice AI usage is $0.30 per minute of call time, billed monthly with a transparent breakdown. Most home-services businesses see $20 to $80 in monthly usage depending on call volume. The fee covers AI compute, telephony, and transcript storage. There are no setup or per-call surcharges beyond this.
About one week from signing off on the onboarding form. We build the call script around your services, voice the agent, integrate with your calendar, do a few test calls, then route your real number to it. You’ll get test recordings before we go live.
Month-to-month. Cancel any time, no fees, no notice period. The service runs through your current paid month. Tom personally got burned by a long-term marketing contract and refuses to put any other local owner in that position.
20 minutes. Tom shows you the install live and answers anything in the FAQ. No pitch, no pressure.
Reach out and we’ll book a 20-minute discovery call to scope the install. No pressure, no obligation. If we’re a fit, you’ll have an AI receptionist on your line within a week.
