Nobody leaves a second voicemail
If they get your voicemail once, most people hang up and dial the next number. By the time you hear the message at six o’clock, they’ve already had someone out to look at it.
You were on a roof, under a sink, or driving with the radio on. The phone rang and you couldn’t get it. Within seconds, that caller gets a text from your business asking what they need — and the conversation starts without you.
Missed call — 2:14 pm, on a roof
Hi, this is Dave at Dave’s Roofing. Sorry we missed your call — we’re on a job. What can we help with? Got a leak over the garage after last night. Can someone look this week? Absolutely. Here are our open times — grab whichever works. Thursday 9am. Thanks!Homeowners with a problem are not patient. They work down the list until someone picks up, and the first business to actually respond usually gets the work.

Burst pipe, no heat, tree on the garage — the emergencies pay well and they call while you’re elbow-deep in someone else’s emergency. Those are exactly the calls that go to voicemail.
The customer can’t tell the difference between a contractor who’s slammed with work and one who’s out of business. Silence reads the same either way.
Once it’s switched on there is nothing to remember, nothing to open, and nothing to click. It just runs on the calls you don’t answer.
Whether you decline it, it rings out, or your phone is face-down in the truck, the system sees the missed call the moment it happens.
The caller gets a friendly message from your business number — not a robot voice, not a generic autoresponder. It apologizes for missing them and asks what they need.
Their reply lands in your inbox alongside everything else. You answer at lunch or at the end of the day, and the customer has been in a conversation the whole time instead of waiting.
Set up once, then it runs on its own. See it on your phone
We write the message with you so it sounds like your business. You can change it any time by sending us the new wording.
A call at 9pm gets a different message than one at 9am — it sets the expectation that you’ll be in touch in the morning instead of leaving them wondering.
Their answer shows up in the all-in-one inbox with your texts, chats and Google messages. You’re not hunting through three apps.
If they’re ready to schedule, the text can drop a link to your calendar so they book themselves while you’re still on the job.
Known spam and robocall numbers are filtered so you’re not paying to text a warranty scam back.
You don’t have to change the number on your truck. We can set this up on the business line we provide or route your current one through it.

Most contractors we talk to miss somewhere between a handful and a couple dozen calls a month. They don’t know the number, because a missed call leaves no trace once the voicemail light goes off.
You know roughly what an average job is worth to you. Take that number and ask how many of those missed calls would need to turn into work for this to pay for itself. For most trades the answer is less than one job a year, and Contractor Plus includes eight other systems on top of this one.
That’s not a promise that it will double your revenue, and we’re not going to pretend we can predict your numbers. It’s just that the cost of answering every call automatically is very small compared to the cost of not answering one good one.
The other thing worth saying: this changes what customers think of you. Being the business that texts back in seconds when three competitors sent them to voicemail is a real advantage, and it costs you nothing to maintain.
It texts whoever called and didn’t reach you. If your wife calls and you don’t pick up, yes, she gets the message too. Most contractors find that funny once and then forget about it. We can also exclude specific numbers.
You get a notification like any text. If you’d rather not have another app, replies can forward to your regular messages. The point is that the customer is already talking to you — you’re not starting from a cold voicemail.
Any time, and we can also schedule it so it only runs during certain hours if you’d rather handle daytime calls yourself.
Not unless you want it to. We write it in your voice, using how you’d actually talk to a customer. Most people who receive it don’t realize it was automatic.
No. It works with the business line included in Contractor Plus, and in most cases we can route your existing number through it so nothing on your truck or your business cards has to change.

Founding pricing: Contractor Plus is $247/mo for the first ten clients, locked for as long as you stay — book a call to claim it.
On the call we’ll trigger it live so you can watch the text arrive. Takes about ninety seconds and tells you more than any explanation.
