Never lose a handyman job to a missed call
A handyman business gets a stream of small, varied requests. Each one is worth a little, but together they are the business, and the phone is the front door.
Where inquiries slip away
Constant interruptions
You're mid-repair when calls come in, so something gets missed.
Wildly varied requests
From a leaky faucet to a deck repair, every call needs different questions.
Jobs outside your scope
Time goes to callbacks for work you don't do or places you don't go.
The questions it asks
Every trade needs different details to make a callback useful. For handyman businesses, a typical conversation covers:
- What needs doing?
- Do you have photos?
- Where is the property?
- How urgent is it?
- Is a weekday or weekend better?
What drives a ballpark
If you want it to give a ballpark, it works from your own price guide. The factors that usually matter:
- Type and size of the job
- Materials
- Travel time
- Minimum charge
Any estimate is a range, labeled as a ballpark, and your people confirm the final price.
Following up so quotes don't go quiet
Small jobs get decided fast. A prompt, clear reply and a booked visit matters more than any follow-up cadence.
Follow-up reminders go to a named person on your team, and monthly reporting shows what was answered, quoted and won. Read our guide to following up politely.
Questions from handyman businesses
Can it screen out jobs outside our scope?
Yes. Tell us what you do and where you work, and the rest is handled politely.
Can it take photos from customers?
That depends on your software. We'd check what's supported when we look at your setup.
Run a handyman business in NH or Maine?
Tell me what's slipping. I'll give you an honest answer, even if it's that you don't need me.
