The Missed Calls Cost Contractors Thousands
After-Hours Emergency Calls Go Unanswered During Storm Season
During peak storm season (June–October), 27% of urgent calls from homeowners reporting roof leaks, foundation cracks, or burst pipes go unanswered after 6 PM. For general contractors managing multiple residential projects, this means losing high-value emergency jobs—especially when competitors offer 24/7 availability. A single missed call can cost $5,000+ in potential revenue from storm-damage restoration contracts.
Field Crews Can’t Answer Calls Mid-Project—Missed Follow-Ups Are Common
When field supervisors and licensed contractors are on-site completing critical phases—like framing, electrical rough-ins, or drywall installation—85% of callers who reach voicemail never return. This is especially damaging for general contractors relying on timely client confirmations for material deliveries, inspection scheduling, or change orders. One missed call can delay a project by 3–5 days and trigger client frustration.
Manual Scheduling Delays Roof Repairs and Plumbing Fixes by 48+ Hours
General contractors often spend 2–3 hours per day coordinating appointments via phone tag for urgent repairs like burst pipes, sagging roofs, or failed HVAC systems. With 30% of clients demanding same-day or next-day service, manual scheduling creates bottlenecks that lead to lost jobs and damaged reputation. A 48-hour delay in scheduling a roof repair can result in water damage escalating to structural issues—costing clients and contractors thousands in remediation.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr
Capture More Leads, Faster
One general contractor in Atlanta reported capturing 27% more leads in Q3 after implementing AI voice agents—specifically from after-hours calls during a severe storm. Of those leads, 68% were high-priority emergency jobs (roofing, plumbing, foundation), resulting in $42,000 in new revenue from just 12 new signed contracts within 30 days.
Cut Phone Costs by Up to 80%
A mid-sized general contracting firm in Texas replaced their part-time front desk staff with an AI voice agent, reducing monthly phone and staffing costs by 82%—from $2,100 to $380. The AI handles 120+ calls per week, including scheduling inspections, confirming material pickups, and routing urgent job requests to on-call supervisors—without overtime or absenteeism.
Never Lose a Client to a Competitor
After implementing Answrr, a general contractor in Colorado saw zero leads lost to voicemail. The AI agent now handles 92% of inbound calls during weekends and evenings—automatically collecting client info, confirming project type (e.g., basement waterproofing, kitchen remodel), and booking appointments in the contractor’s scheduling software (e.g., Buildertrend, Procore). This resulted in 15 new signed jobs in one month, including three $12,000+ remodels.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We’re a full-service general contractor with crews out on 7–10 jobs daily. Last winter, a homeowner called at 1:30 a.m. with a burst pipe and frozen basement. Our AI agent answered, collected the address, verified insurance details, and booked a 7 a.m. emergency service call—within 90 seconds. That job turned into a $9,800 water damage restoration contract. Since we implemented Answrr, we’ve booked 14 emergency jobs in 45 days—none of which would’ve happened if we’d been off the phone.”

“I run a small renovation firm in Portland. I’m not good with tech, but the AI onboarding tool walked me through setting up my agent in under 10 minutes—just by answering questions about our services: remodels, additions, ADA compliance, and roofing. Now, when a client calls about a bathroom remodel, the AI remembers their past project, their preferred contact time (9–11 a.m.), and even their contractor’s name. It’s like having a dedicated assistant who knows every job we’ve done.”

Project Coordinator, Cascade Home Renovations, General Contractors
“We lost nearly 30% of leads last year because our field crews were on-site and couldn’t answer the phone. Now, every call—day or night—is answered instantly. The AI even handles common questions like, 'Do you do solar panel installations?' or 'Can you work with my HOA?' It routes the call to the right team and schedules the appointment in our Buildertrend system. Clients think we’ve hired a new receptionist. We’ve added $28,000 in new revenue this quarter—just from recovered leads.”
