Sample call Answered in seconds

We're thinking about remodeling our kitchen. What would it cost?

Exciting project! Every kitchen is different, so let me ask a few questions. Are you keeping the same layout, or moving walls, plumbing or appliances?

Probably opening one wall and new cabinets and counters.

Thanks. Do you have a budget range in mind, and when would you like to start?

What can an AI receptionist do for a contractor or remodeler?

Project qualification
Captures project type (kitchen, bath, addition, basement, whole-home, new build), scope, budget range, timeline and whether the caller owns the property.
Consultation booking
Books design consultations or site visits with the right estimator, and sends a prep checklist (photos, measurements, inspiration).
Lead scoring
Tags leads by budget and timeline so your team calls the best ones first.
Current-client routing
Recognizes current clients and routes them to their project manager, or takes a detailed message.
Vendor and sales filtering
Politely captures supplier, subcontractor and sales calls without interrupting your team.
Permit and process questions
Answers how your process, permits, warranties and payment schedule work, from your knowledge base.
Financing interest
Asks whether the homeowner is interested in financing and shares your options.

Why contractors lose high-value projects

Remodeling leads are worth tens of thousands of dollars, but owners and project managers spend the day on job sites. Calls from serious homeowners get mixed in with tire-kickers, vendors and sales pitches, and callbacks come too late. Homeowners interview several contractors, and the one who responds professionally and quickly makes the shortlist.

That fits the projects we do. Do you own the home, and what's the address?

Yes, 19 Harbor View Drive.

Great. I can book a free in-home design consultation with Jordan, our lead designer, on Tuesday at 5:30 PM Eastern or Saturday at 10:00 AM Eastern.
Caller
Saturday.
Frontivo AI
You're booked for Saturday at 10:00 AM Eastern. I've texted a confirmation and a short checklist — photos of your current kitchen and any inspiration pictures help Jordan prepare.

How do you set up an AI receptionist for a contracting business?

1
Tell Frontivo about your contractor: services, prices, hours and service area — type them in or import an FAQ or services page from your website.
2
Set your rules — what counts as urgent, when to transfer to a person, and which times can be booked — then test every channel in the Channel Tester.
3
Forward your business line (or get a new number) and paste one line of code to add the chat and voice widget to your website.
