TradeAnswer is an AI receptionist agency. We sell and manage AI-powered phone receptionists for contractors — answering every call 24/7, booking jobs, and capturing leads so nothing slips through.
Phone rings. You're under a sink with wet hands. You let it go. That caller just called the next plumber on Google.
85% of callers who hit voicemail never leave one. They move on. You never knew they called.
The 2am burst pipe call is worth $2,000. But you were asleep. Your competitor picked up.
Hiring a receptionist costs $45K/year. For most contractors, that math doesn't work. So the phone keeps going to voicemail.
"I didn't even know I was missing that many calls until I saw the data. I just thought business was slow."— HVAC contractor, Virginia
We set up and manage a custom AI receptionist for your clients' businesses. It runs 24/7. It sounds professional. It books jobs. You get recurring monthly income with almost no ongoing work.
Forward their existing number, or set up a new business line. Takes 15 minutes — no hardware, no software to install.
Services, pricing, area served, emergency protocols, CRM integration. The AI sounds like it works for them — not generic.
24/7, in natural conversation. Captures the job type, urgency, customer info, and books directly into their calendar.
They pay $299–$449/month. You pay $55/month to us. Margins of 70–90%. Auto-billed, auto-renewed.
"I was skeptical at first. But the AI sounds more professional than some receptionists I've hired. We've booked 11 jobs in two weeks that we would have completely missed."
Emergency calls — burst pipes, leaks, water heater failures — are the highest-value jobs. AI captures all of them. Avg job value: $400–$2,000.
No-heat calls in January and no-AC calls in July are worth $800–$2,000 each. The AI routes emergencies to on-call techs immediately. 62% miss rate on job sites.
Safety emergencies (no power, burning smell, sparking) get routed immediately. Non-urgent jobs get booked with full scope details so you know what you're walking into.
Storm damage calls are the highest urgency in home services — the first company to pick up books the job. AI answers immediately, captures the damage type, and dispatches.
Home services is a $657 billion industry. Almost nobody is selling AI receptionists specifically to plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, and roofers — they're all going after restaurants and retail. That's the whitespace. The infrastructure already exists. The AI already works. The buyers already need it. You just have to get in front of them and make the case.
You don't need to build the product. You don't need to hire developers. You don't need a tech background. You need to make phone calls and close deals.
