Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. Simply forward your existing number to your Answrr number—your customers call the same number they always have. No changes to your branding.

Does Answrr integrate with my existing scheduling system?

What if a caller wants to speak to a live agent?

You can set up smart transfers based on conversation. When needed, the AI routes the call to you with full context so the caller never repeats themselves.

The Call Abandonment Crisis for Contractors

27%

Missed Calls During Peak Project Launches – High Abandonment Rates Cost $500+ Per Lost Lead

During peak renovation seasons (March–June and September–November), General Contractors experience call surges as homeowners finalize project timelines. With an average call abandonment rate of 27% due to long IVR wait times and overburdened call queues, your team may miss up to 1 in 4 inbound leads—each valued at $500+ in potential job revenue. For a mid-sized firm handling 150 monthly calls, this translates to over $20,000 in lost opportunity annually.

85%

No After-Hours Coverage for Urgent Repairs or Weekend Inquiries – 85% of Voicemail Callers Never Return

Homeowners often call after hours for emergency plumbing leaks, storm damage, or urgent roofing repairs—common during storm season (June–October). Without 24/7 call routing and live agent availability, your business loses 85% of these high-intent leads. For a General Contractor managing 30+ emergency calls per month, this equates to 25+ missed jobs annually, directly impacting project pipelines and cash flow.

54%

Inconsistent Call Handling During Renovation Rollouts – 54% of Callers Abandon If Wait Time Exceeds 30 Seconds

When launching a new custom home division or expanding into a new neighborhood, call volume spikes by 300% overnight. Without a scalable call routing system, your team’s call queue can exceed 5-minute wait times, causing 54% of callers to hang up. This directly impacts lead conversion rates, especially for high-value clients comparing multiple contractors during the decision phase.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Capture More Leads

Capture 98% of inbound leads—even after 9 PM or on Sundays—by automatically routing calls through a personalized IVR with options like 'Emergency Repair,' 'New Home Build Quote,' or 'Renovation Estimate.' The AI receptionist captures lead details, schedules a site visit within 15 minutes, and syncs with your GoHighLevel calendar, reducing follow-up time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes.

According to Invoca, businesses using 24/7 virtual receptionists see a 62% increase in lead capture from after-hours calls—critical for General Contractors who win 40% of jobs from weekend inquiries.

Book Appointments Instantly

Book 12–15 appointments per week in real time during on-site project meetings. When a client calls while your estimator is at a job site, the AI receptionist confirms availability, checks your SLA (Service Level Agreement) for same-week scheduling, and books the appointment with full calendar sync—ensuring no double-booking and no missed follow-ups.

Brightmetrics reports that real-time calendar integration reduces appointment no-shows by 33% and increases lead conversion rates by 41%—a critical metric for General Contractors managing tight project timelines.

Save on Staffing Costs

Cut phone staffing costs by $12,000 annually by replacing a part-time receptionist with a virtual agent that handles 24/7 call routing, lead capture, and callback options—no overtime, sick days, or training required. The AI agent handles 150+ calls/month with 99.8% uptime, ensuring every lead is engaged within 10 seconds.

Lead Advisors estimates each missed call costs $200+ in lost lifetime value—by eliminating 27% abandonment, a firm with 200 monthly calls recovers $10,800 in annual revenue.

Real Results from Real Businesses

“We were losing 35% of leads after 6 PM—especially during our fall remodel season. After implementing Answrr, we now capture 97% of after-hours calls. One client called at 8:30 PM about a basement flooding issue, and the AI scheduled a site visit for the next morning. That job turned into a $14,000 waterproofing project. Our lead conversion rate jumped from 18% to 36% in just 90 days.”

“I used to spend 2 hours a day returning voicemails and rescheduling appointments. Now, the AI handles all inbound calls—screening for urgency, capturing job details, and booking estimates in real time. Last month, we closed three high-ticket kitchen remodels just because the AI answered a call at 10 PM on a Saturday. That’s not just efficiency—it’s revenue.”

Linda Chen

Project Director, Chen Custom Builds, General Contractors

“I’m not a tech person, but the AI onboarding assistant asked me about our specialty—commercial tenant improvements and residential gut renovations—and built a custom agent in under 10 minutes. Now, every call gets routed correctly: emergency repairs go to our field team, remodel quotes go to estimators, and new business leads go to sales. It’s like having a full-time front desk without the payroll.”
