An answering service for contractors who are on the job, not at a desk.

Homeowners call three contractors and hire the first one who answers. CallMyLeads answers every call, qualifies the project, and books the estimate — even when you are up a ladder.

Where contractors lose calls

General contractors and subs lose work in the same places: calls that hit voicemail while you are on site, estimate requests that sit in an inbox for two days, and tire-kickers that eat the hour you did not have. A traditional answering service takes a message. That is not enough — the homeowner has already called the next name on the list.

On-site calls go to voicemail

You cannot answer a phone with a nail gun in your hand. Every missed call is a bid request that goes to the next contractor on Google.

Estimate requests go cold

A homeowner who submits a form Monday morning has usually booked someone by Tuesday. Slow follow-up loses jobs you already paid to generate.

Unqualified calls eat your evenings

Without screening, you spend the night returning calls from people outside your service area, under budget, or months from starting.

No record of what came in

Calls scribbled on paper or half-remembered voicemails mean leads fall through and you cannot tell which marketing is working.

What happens when someone calls

Project type and scope

Kitchen remodel, addition, repair, new build — the AI asks what the caller needs done so real projects get priority.

Location and timeline

Confirms the job is in your service area and asks when they want to start, so urgent work jumps the queue.

Budget range

Where you set a minimum, the caller is asked about budget expectations so small repairs do not displace full remodels.

Decision stage

Collecting bids, ready to hire, or just researching — so your callback goes to the leads closest to signing.

Common questions

How is this different from a traditional answering service for contractors?
A traditional answering service takes a name and number so you can call back later — by which time the homeowner has often booked someone else. CallMyLeads answers, qualifies the project, and books the estimate directly on your calendar while the caller is still on the line.
What happens when a caller has a real emergency?
You set the rules. Urgent calls — active leaks, no heat, safety issues — can be routed straight to your on-call phone immediately. Everything else is captured, qualified, and booked for a normal slot.
Does the AI sound like a robot?
The agent uses your approved greeting and your questions. It handles the structured part of the call — capturing details, qualifying, scheduling — and hands anything unusual to your team with a full transcript.
Can it follow up on old estimates that never closed?
Yes. Estimate follow-up sequences re-contact quotes that went quiet, which is often the cheapest booked work a contractor can win back.
