The problem

Every unanswered call is a job your competitor just booked.

Home-service businesses face three phone problems that compound every month — and a front-office hire only papers over them.

01

$500+

Average ticket lost per missed call

Missed service calls

Most home-service calls that hit voicemail never get a callback.

When a homeowner's water heater fails, they call the next company on the list. A missed call isn't a missed message — it's a job that just went to your competitor.

02

24/7

Coverage homeowners expect in an emergency

After-hours emergencies

Burst pipes and dead AC don't wait for business hours.

Emergencies are your highest-margin jobs — and the ones most likely to ring out. If you're not picking up at 9pm on a Sunday, someone else is.

03

60%

Avg. cost reduction vs. a full-time CSR

Techs stuck on the phone

$5,000-7,000/month for a front-office CSR — who still can't cover nights.

Your best techs lose billable hours fielding calls from the truck. Office staff burn out, turn over, and the phones still go unanswered at peak.

Why a team, not a tool

We didn't build another contractor app. We built the front office that runs it.

There's a category-defining shift happening: AI is now good enough to run your phones end-to-end, not just help someone do it faster. The valuable thing isn't another app on your tablet — it's calls answered, jobs booked, and emergencies dispatched, while your crew stays on the tools.

“For every dollar contractors spend on software, far more goes to the people answering phones and chasing quotes. We replace those hours with booked jobs.”
Traditional software

A tool your team has to use

  • Your office staff has to learn it
  • Per-seat licensing — you pay whether the phone gets answered or not
  • More features = more tabs nobody opens
  • Someone's still on the phone; the app just logs it
  • Lives in a dashboard, not on the call
Bots for Business

An AI team that does the work

  • No software to learn — your office day doesn't change
  • Per-outcome pricing — you pay for calls answered, jobs booked, emergencies dispatched
  • Better model = better service, automatically
  • We do the work end-to-end; you see booked jobs
  • Lives where the work lives: your phone line and dispatch software

If we sold you software, every model improvement would be yours to learn. By selling the work itself, every improvement makes your phones faster, cheaper, and more reliable — without anyone in your office opening a new app.

Where the line is

We do the routine work. Your crew does the craft.

The part of running a trade that drains the office isn't the part that builds the business. We take the repetitive phone and follow-up work. You keep the craft and the relationships — the work that compounds.

Intelligence work

What we handle

Repetitive. Volume-driven. Same task, hundreds of times a week. The kind of work that's expensive to staff and impossible to do consistently.

  • Answering every inbound call
  • Qualifying and booking new jobs
  • Scheduling into your dispatch calendar
  • Triaging and dispatching emergencies
  • Following up on open estimates
  • Confirming appointments and ETAs
  • Answering invoice and warranty questions
  • Routing every call to the right place
Judgment work

What stays human

Experience-based. Context-heavy. The work where being wrong has consequences and being right is what you got hired for.

  • Diagnosing the problem on site
  • Doing the work right the first time
  • Earning the homeowner's trust
  • Pricing the job and closing the sale
  • Mentoring and training your techs
  • Supplier and crew relationships
  • Your reputation and your reviews
  • Strategy: where to grow, what to add

The distinction matters. We're not replacing your office or your crew — we're giving them their day back. Every minute they're not chasing a missed call is a minute spent on the job in front of them.

No change management

It's a vendor swap. Not a reorg.

You're already paying for this work — an answering service, a front-office CSR, an after-hours rotation. We replace those line items, not your stack. Live in 5 days.

Forward your existing line

We pick up from your current number. Your customers don't know the difference — except someone always answers.

Plug into your dispatch software

ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber — jobs and customer data sync to where your team already works.

Use your own pricing and rules

Your service area, your booking rules, your trade, your tone. We don't impose ours.

Booked jobs land in your calendar

Every call summary, every booked job, every dispatched emergency — delivered the way you already work.

The math

An answering service runs $1,000-2,000/mo and just takes messages. A front-office CSR costs $5,000-7,000/mo and still can't cover nights. We replace both — and actually book the job — for less than one of them.

After-hours coverage

What happens after the trucks go home.

Three scenarios BFB handles around the clock — without your office staff picking up, your techs answering from home, or anyone losing sleep.

9:52 PM

Friday

Emergency

Homeowner calls — water heater burst, water spreading across the basement. Emergency Dispatch triages it, captures the address and access notes, and walks them through the shutoff. Your on-call tech is paged with the full details.

Outcome

Tech paged in 41 seconds

6:38 AM

Saturday

New job

No-heat call before the office opens. Front Desk answers in two seconds, confirms the service area, and books the first slot of the day straight into your dispatch calendar.

Outcome

Job booked · 8am

8:15 PM

Sunday

Follow-up

A roofing estimate from last week has gone quiet. Follow-Up Agent texts the homeowner, answers a financing question, and locks in the quoted price.

Outcome

Estimate signed

Operators

Who stopped losing jobs.

We stopped losing after-hours emergencies to the big franchise down the road. Every burst-pipe call gets triaged and I get paged in under a minute — that's all found money.

Common questions

Quick answers before the demo.

What happens if the AI can't handle a call?

Warm handoff to your team, every time. Our agents know the limits of what they should answer and route to a real person with full context — caller name, the job, and a transcript of the conversation so far.

How long does setup take?

Most contractors are live within 5 business days. We load your services, service area, pricing rules, and dispatch calendar, train the agents on your tone, and start with after-hours coverage.

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. We forward your existing line or add a dedicated AI line. Your customers notice nothing except that someone always answers.

Does it work with my scheduling software?

Yes. We book jobs straight into ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, and similar tools — or your Google / Outlook calendar.

Can it handle emergency calls?

Yes. The Emergency Dispatch Agent triages on your criteria — burst pipes, gas, no heat or AC, roof leaks — and pages your on-call tech in seconds, with the address and details already captured.

What if I already have an answering service?

We typically replace answering services at 40-60% lower cost — and unlike a call center, our agents actually book the job into your calendar instead of just taking a message.
