LeadAI answering service for contractors. The phone rings, you're on a roof, and it gets answered anyway.
It's a fully managed AI answering service for the trades: your AI receptionist takes a real phone line 24/7, and the same assistant talks to visitors on your website. We build it, tune it to your trade, and run it. It qualifies the job, gets the address, and books the appointment instead of taking a message.
The next screen is a short form — it opens on the voice demo, so just tell us about your business and leave your mobile. We build your assistant, stand up a number for it, and send you the number. You call it. That is the demo.
A missed call isn't a message. It's a job.
You can't answer the phone from inside a crawlspace, halfway through a pour, or on a ladder in the wind. So it rings out. And the homeowner on the other end doesn't sit down and wait for you to call back — they hit the back button and dial the next name on the list.
Furnaces die at night. Pipes let go on Saturday. The hours you can't staff are the hours the urgent, high-ticket calls come in — and urgent callers hire whoever picks up.
One line, one office person. Call two hears a busy signal or rolls to voicemail. You never find out that call happened, so it never shows up as a number you lost.
You listen to a voicemail left Friday at 6 p.m. You call back. Somebody already came out Saturday and quoted it. That one hurt and it was never on a report.
One assistant. It answers your phone line, and it talks to visitors on your site.
Everybody else sells you calls or sells you a website widget. Your actual problem is that somebody tried to reach you and nobody was there — and that happens on both. Your number is attached to one assistant that works both ways, so it knows your business the same on a phone call at midnight as it does in a browser at noon.
A number that always gets answered
- A dedicated number, live every hour of every day
- Forward your main line to it — all calls, after hours, or ring-no-answer only
- Handles ten simultaneous callers as easily as one
- Transfers to your cell or the office when it should be a person
Talk instead of type
- A talk button on your site, in your colors — no download, no dial
- For the visitor who won't fill in a form and won't pick up the phone
- Same assistant, same answers, same booking calendar
- One line to embed, or we install it for you
You do not give up your phone number.
Your number stays yours, on your carrier, on your account. It's on your trucks and your yard signs and ten years of Google reviews and we're not touching it. The number we give you sits behind it. You set call forwarding on your rules — every call, or only after 5, or only when nobody picks up in four rings — and your customers keep dialing the number they always have. Cancel and you switch the forwarding off. Same afternoon, back to normal.
Everything a great office manager does at 2 a.m.
Not a robot reading a menu. A trades-trained receptionist built from your own business, that can hold a real conversation about the work you actually do. HVAC, plumbing, roofing, concrete, fencing, electrical — the calls you can't take are the ones worth the most.
Answers every call
First ring, every time. No hold music, no "please stay on the line," no call trees. Somebody picks up.
Never busy
Six people call during a hailstorm, all six get answered at once. It does not have one phone and two hands.
Kills voicemail
Nobody leaves messages anymore — they call the next guy. Every caller gets a real conversation instead of a beep.
Covers nights, weekends, overflow
9 p.m. Sunday, or line two while your office manager is already on line one. It's the same assistant either way.
Answers the real questions
Do you do tankless. Can you match my shingle. How long before I can park on it. It answers from your business, not a FAQ page.
Qualifies like an estimator
Job type, size, repair or replace, timeline, whose name is on the property. Asked one at a time, the way a person asks.
Gets the address right
Captures the service address and reads it back to confirm it, along with the callback number. No garbled street names.
Books the job
Offers real appointment windows and locks one in. It always knows today's date, so nothing gets booked on a Sunday by mistake.
Knows an emergency when it hears one
No heat, no water, active leak, gas smell — it flags those on the spot and follows the escalation rules you set.
Warm transfer to a real person
When it should be you, it says who is calling and why, then patches them through to your cell or the office. No cold dump.
Recordings and full transcripts
Every call recorded and written out, searchable, with the lead details pulled to the top. Settle any "that's not what I said" in ten seconds.
Screens out the junk
Robocalls, spam dialers, and the tenth SEO cold-caller this week get filtered. Your people only hear from real customers.
Discloses and gets consent
Announces the recording, and captures text and email opt-in properly before it follows up — so your callbacks stay compliant and you have no cleanup later.
Sounds like your shop
Your greeting, your service area, your brands and your rules — in a voice you pick and approve before it takes a single call.
We tune it. You don't.
We read the transcripts and fix what it fumbled — a question it dodged, a neighborhood it didn't recognize, a brand it hadn't heard of. Raise your prices, add a service, change who's on call: you tell us, we update it. No dashboard for you to log into and no script for you to maintain.
A report you'll actually read
Calls answered, calls that came in after hours, jobs booked, transfers to your crew, spam blocked, and minutes used against your 500. Plus what callers kept asking about — which is usually the most useful page in it, because it tells you what to put on your website and what to train your guys on.
What it won't do matters more than what it will.
Most people have had a bad experience with an automated phone system, and they were right to hate it. Here's where we drew the lines.
Won't pretend to be a person
It says up front that it's your assistant. People forgive a machine that's honest and fast. They do not forgive finding out ten minutes in.
Won't guess
No invented prices, no made-up lead times, no promises you'd have to eat. If it doesn't know, it says so and books a real visit.
Won't trap an emergency
A burst pipe never gets stuck in a script. Emergencies escalate on your rules — transfer, text you, or ring your after-hours tech.
Won't surprise you on the invoice
One monthly price with talk-minutes included and one published overage rate. No per-call fees, no after-hours surcharge, no holiday rate.
Done for you, start to finish
You don't configure anything, write a script, or record a greeting. That's our job — that's what you're paying for.
We build it from your business
We read your site, then ask you the handful of things a website can't tell us: your service radius, your trip charge, the brands you won't touch, and who gets the 2 a.m. call.
You hear it before you buy it
We build it, stand up a number, and send you the number. You call it and ask it the questions your customers ask. Free, and no card, before you commit to anything.
You forward your number
Your number stays with your carrier. You forward it on your rules — always, after hours only, or only when nobody picks up in four rings.
We keep tuning it
We read the transcripts, fix what it fumbled, and update it when your prices, brands, or crew change. That is the service, not an add-on.
One price. Minutes included. Overage published.
Voice costs more than our $297/mo chat plan, and it should — it's a live phone line with a real number, talk-minutes, warm transfers to a human, and a recording and transcript of every call. Here is the entire price list. There isn't a second one.

Bought separately, chat ($297) and voice ($597) would run $894 a month — the bundle is $797. Setup covers building the assistant from your business, the voice and script you approve, number provisioning, forwarding configuration, and testing it live with you. One time. Prices in US dollars.
5 qualified leads in 60 days — or your setup is free.
We're that confident. Put LeadPulse live on your site, and if it doesn't capture at least 5 qualified leads in the first 60 days, we refund your setup fee in full. You keep every lead it did capture. We put our setup fee on the line — not you.
A "qualified lead" is a real prospect who leaves a name and a working phone or email with a genuine service inquiry. See full guarantee terms →
On a voice plan the guarantee also counts calls: a caller the assistant answers who leaves a name, a working callback number and a real service inquiry is a qualified lead. The full guarantee terms apply as written — your assistant installed and live on your site for the 60 days — and on voice there's one more thing on your side: keep your line forwarded to the assistant for that period, so it can answer the calls it's being measured on.
Don't take our word for how it talks. Go talk to one.
We've built live assistants for HVAC, concrete, fencing, duct cleaning, and warehouse companies across the Denver metro — 19 of them, on real contractor sites. Those are the chat versions, and they're open right now: go ask one a trade question and see how it handles being pushed. It's the same assistant underneath the voice.
We don't put a canned sample call on this page. A recording of somebody else's furnace call tells you nothing about how it handles yours. So the demo is the real thing: we build your assistant, stand up a number for it, and send you the number. You call it and ask it what your customers ask — your brands, your service area, your after-hours rules. Free, no card, and you decide after you've heard it, not after you've paid for it.
The questions everybody asks
Do I have to change my phone number?+
No. Your number stays exactly where it is, with your carrier. We give you a second number that's answered 24/7, and you point your main line at it with call forwarding — always, after hours only, or only on a ring-no-answer. Your customers keep dialing the number they've always dialed. If you ever cancel, you turn the forwarding off and everything is back the way it was.
Will my customers know it's AI?+
Yes, because it tells them. It opens by saying it's the assistant for your company. That's deliberate. People react badly to realizing they were fooled and fine to being told, especially when the thing on the other end answers on the first ring at 9 p.m. and actually books them in. We won't build you something that pretends to be a person and hopes nobody notices.
What happens on a real emergency?+
It's trained to hear one — no heat in January, no water, active leak, gas smell, storm damage — and it acts on the rules you give us. That can be an immediate warm transfer to your cell, a text to whoever's on call, or a same-day slot held open for emergencies. You decide the rules during setup and we can change them any time your on-call rotation changes.
What if it doesn't know the answer?+
It says so. Then it does the useful thing instead: takes the details, books a visit, or transfers to a person. It doesn't quote a price we haven't been given, doesn't invent a lead time, and doesn't promise anything you'd have to walk back. Same rule as our chat assistant — we'd rather it say "let's get you a real look at it" than guess.
What does it actually cost, all in?+
Voice is $597 a month plus a one-time $789 setup. Chat + Voice is $797 a month plus $989 setup. Both include 500 talk-minutes a month; past that it's $0.39 a minute on connected talk time only. There is no per-call fee, no per-lead fee, no after-hours or holiday surcharge, and screened spam calls are not billed. That's the whole price list.
Why is voice more than the $297 chat plan?+
Because it's a live phone line, not a script on a webpage. You get a real number answered around the clock, telephony minutes, warm transfers to a person, recordings and transcripts on every call, and spam screening. Chat can't ring your cell at 11 p.m. with a homeowner whose furnace just died. If you only need the website covered, take the $297 chat plan — we'll tell you so.
How is this different from a traditional answering service?+
Two things. It answers instantly and never puts anyone on hold, no matter how many people call at once. And the billing is one page long: 500 included talk-minutes a month and one published overage rate of $0.39 a minute, on connected talk time, counted to the second. Put that next to what your current service includes and what it charges past it.
How is this different from a virtual receptionist?+
A virtual receptionist is a person — somebody in a call center answering your phone in between other clients' calls, working from notes you have to keep updating. This is your own assistant. It picks up on the first ring at any hour, handles ten callers at once, and knows your brands, your service radius, your trip charge and your on-call rules because we built it from your business and we keep it current. Where a human still wins is improvising on a genuinely strange call — which is exactly why it warm-transfers to you when it should be a person.
Do I need a new phone system?+
No. No PBX change, no new hardware, no rewiring the office. If your carrier can forward calls — and every one of them can — you're ready. Setup is on us either way; we do the configuration and test it with you on the line before it goes live.
Am I locked into a contract?+
No annual lock-in. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. Turn off your call forwarding and you're back to your old setup the same afternoon.
Where do the calls end up?+
Every call comes to you as a lead — name, callback number, service address, what they need, and when they're booked — by email and text, with the recording and transcript attached. Direct CRM routing isn't a shipped feature yet — it's on our roadmap, built on request.
You bought that call twice.
Once when you paid for the ad, the map listing, the truck wrap, or the ten years of doing good work that put your name in somebody's mouth. Then again when the phone rang, nobody was free, and the person on the other end went down the list.
You can't hire your way out of 2 a.m. But you can make sure the phone gets answered — every time, on the first ring, by something that knows your trade, gets the address right, and books the job before the caller has a reason to keep looking.
Call it yourself before you buy it
The short form on the next screen already opens on the voice demo — tell us about your business and leave your mobile. We'll stand up a number for your business, free, and send it to you. You call it and ask it the questions your customers ask. Decide after.
Chat covers the same questions on your website, and CRM routes what either one captures.
