The Missed Calls That Cost Contractors Thousands
Missed Calls During Peak Jobsite Hours Cost $1,200 per Lead
During 8–10 AM, when crews are mobilizing for jobsites across the metro, 27% of inbound calls go unanswered—especially during high-demand seasons like winter heating emergencies. For a General Contractor managing multiple subcontractors and tight project timelines, missing a single call from a homeowner reporting a burst pipe or failed furnace can delay a $5,000 emergency repair job, disrupt scheduling, and damage client trust. These missed connections often result in lost leads and delayed revenue, with each unconverted call costing an average of $800 in lost lifetime value.
After-Hours Emergency Calls Are Critical—But Often Ignored
On weekends and evenings, 40% of service calls come in during non-business hours—typically from homeowners experiencing urgent issues like a leaking water heater, structural water intrusion, or a malfunctioning HVAC system. Without 24/7 availability, General Contractors risk losing high-value emergency repair leads. These calls are often time-sensitive: a delayed response can lead to mold growth, extended downtime, or even project delays due to subcontractor scheduling conflicts. Without immediate follow-up, the lead evaporates—especially when the homeowner has already contacted three other contractors.
Voicemail Overflow Is a Silent Revenue Killer
Less than 3% of callers leave a message after reaching voicemail—yet General Contractors often receive 15–20 calls per day during peak season, many from homeowners needing diagnostic & service assessments for furnace replacement, roof leaks, or foundation repairs. When these calls go to voicemail, the chances of a callback are nearly zero. This creates a bottleneck in lead conversion, especially when your team is already stretched thin managing maintenance contracts, jobsite inspections, and subcontractor coordination. The result? Lost revenue, missed upsell opportunities, and a weakened reputation for responsiveness.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr
Capture Emergency Leads 24/7
Your AI voice agent answers every emergency call within 3 seconds—whether it’s a homeowner reporting a basement flood at 9:30 PM on a Saturday or a commercial client needing urgent HVAC diagnostics. The AI captures the issue, confirms the urgency, and schedules a same-day diagnostic appointment with your nearest crew. In one case, a General Contractor in Chicago used the AI to book 12 emergency repair jobs in a single week—7 of which were scheduled within 2 hours of the call. This translated to $84,000 in additional emergency service revenue over 3 months.
Automate Scheduling Without Delay
The AI automatically schedules appointments in real time—syncing directly with your calendar and sending confirmation emails with job details, crew assignments, and prep instructions. For a General Contractor managing 15+ jobsites weekly, this eliminates 2–3 hours of daily administrative work. One contractor in Denver reported reducing scheduling delays by 70% and increasing lead conversion from 18% to 36% within 60 days after implementing AI scheduling. The system also flags high-priority jobs like furnace replacement or water heater repair for immediate dispatch.
Professional Image, Every Time
Your AI receptionist answers every call with a professional, on-brand tone—using your company name, service specialties (e.g., 'We handle furnace replacement, water heater repair, and structural diagnostics'), and even referencing your maintenance contract offerings. When a homeowner calls about a recurring HVAC issue, the AI can prompt them to enroll in a $299/year maintenance contract. One General Contractor in Texas saw a 42% increase in maintenance contract sign-ups after adding this feature, generating $18,000 in recurring revenue in just 4 months.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“I was on a jobsite in the West Loop, mid-remodel, when a homeowner called about a gas line leak after a storm. I couldn’t answer—my phone was in my tool belt. But Answrr picked up, confirmed the emergency, booked a 2-hour diagnostic appointment with our emergency crew, and sent a text with the crew’s ETA. The homeowner later told us they’d already called three other contractors and were ready to go with someone else. That call saved us a $9,500 emergency repair job—and a client for life.”

“We used to lose 35% of after-hours calls—especially on weekends when our main dispatcher was off. Now, every inquiry gets a response within seconds. Our lead conversion rate jumped from 21% to 48% in just 90 days. We’ve even started using the AI to qualify leads for our maintenance contract program—asking if they’ve had a furnace inspection in the last 12 months. It’s not just answering calls; it’s building trust and revenue while we’re on the jobsite.”
Raj Patel
Operations Director, Summit Build & Repair, General Contractors
“I’m not a tech guy—I run a crew of 12 and manage 20+ projects at once. But the AI onboarding took me 7 minutes. It asked about our services, set up emergency protocols for furnace replacement and water heater repair, and even auto-responds to calls with our maintenance contract offer. Now, my team doesn’t waste time chasing calls. They’re focused on jobsites, and I’m not missing a single high-value lead—even when I’m knee-deep in a basement remodel.”
