The Cost of Missed Calls for Contractors
Missed Emergency Calls During Roofing Jobs or HVAC Repairs
When a homeowner calls about a leaking roof during a storm or a furnace replacement emergency in freezing temperatures, your team is often on a ladder or in a crawl space—making it impossible to answer. With 27% of inbound calls going unanswered during active jobsite work, contractors lose critical leads for high-value projects like roofing jobs, HVAC repair, or plumbing emergencies before they even respond. This isn’t just a missed call—it’s a lost $800–$1,500 job.
After-Hours Emergency Repairs Go Unanswered (Especially on Weekends)
Over 40% of emergency repair calls come in after 6 p.m. or on weekends—when your office is closed and your crew is off-site. A homeowner with a burst pipe at 10 p.m. or a failing water heater on a Sunday morning won’t wait. Without a 24/7 virtual receptionist, these high-intent leads are lost to competitors who can respond instantly. For a general contractor managing multiple subcontractors, this means delayed diagnostics, missed billing windows, and damaged client trust.
Critical Job Details Lost During Peak Hours (e.g., HVAC Diagnostics or Roofing Estimates)
During the morning rush (8–10 a.m.), when your estimator is finalizing a furnace replacement quote and your field supervisor is coordinating a roofing job, calls about diagnostic & service needs—like a cracked drain pan or a leaking gutter system—get passed verbally. With 55% of contractors reporting lost details due to handwritten notes or memory lapses, critical job specs are forgotten. This leads to inaccurate bids, scheduling conflicts, and subcontractor delays on high-margin jobs.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr
Capture More Leads After Hours
Answrr’s AI receptionist answers 85% of after-hours calls—turning midnight emergency calls for water heater repair or weekend roofing job inquiries into booked appointments. One contractor in Denver reported capturing 14 emergency leads in one weekend alone, resulting in $12,400 in new revenue. These calls are automatically logged with job type, urgency level, and homeowner contact info—so your team can respond within 15 minutes, not hours.
Save $3,000+ Monthly on Staffing
Replace a $2,200/month part-time receptionist with Answrr’s AI team—available 24/7 without payroll, benefits, or training. One general contractor in Texas saved $28,000 annually while increasing lead capture by 63% during peak hours. Every call is transcribed, categorized (e.g., ‘HVAC repair’, ‘plumbing emergency’, ‘maintenance contract renewal’), and delivered to your CRM within 90 seconds—ensuring no detail is lost during lunch or morning rush.
Never Lose a Job Detail Again
AI captures every call with full context—no more relying on scribbled notes. For example, when a homeowner calls about a leaking roof and describes ‘a 3-foot tear near the chimney during a storm,’ the AI logs the location, urgency, and weather conditions. This data is auto-summarized and sent to your field supervisor before the jobsite crew arrives. One contractor reduced miscommunication with subcontractors by 70% and improved first-time fix rates by 45% on diagnostic & service jobs.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Last winter, I was on a roofing job during a blizzard when a homeowner called about a furnace failure. I couldn’t answer—my hands were on shingles. Answrr picked up, collected the address, urgency level, and even noted the homeowner had a 10-year-old unit. They booked a same-day emergency HVAC repair and sent the details to my field manager. We closed the job in 4 hours and earned $1,850. That’s not just a lead—it’s a repeat customer.”
