AI Automation for Contractors, Trades, and Home Service Businesses

I was COO of a construction company, so I know the call you miss because you are under a sink, and the quote that dies because nobody followed up. I build AI that catches the jobs leaking out of your business. Not theory, not a demo. More calls answered, more quotes closed, more money kept.

Remote-first, anywhere in the US. Based in central Iowa, so Des Moines-area contractors also get easy on-site time.

You do not need an AI strategy figured out

You are busy running crews and chasing jobs, and that is exactly the point. So here are five things that quietly cost contractors money every week. If one of them makes you think "that has cost me real jobs," that is a great place to start. And if your biggest headache is not even on this list, that is the conversation I want most.

Five things I would build for your business

1. The call you missed on the roof

An AI receptionist answers every call 24/7, qualifies the job, and books it on your calendar, even when you are up a ladder or under a sink. Why it matters: home service businesses miss 30 to 40 percent of calls at peak, and every missed call is a job that goes to the next contractor who picks up. This one never misses. Want every call answered and booked?

2. Quotes that follow up themselves

AI follows up on every estimate automatically by text and email, on your schedule, until you get a yes or a no. Why it matters: most contractors send a bid and never follow up, and the $8,000 job just sits in the customer's inbox. The follow-up is where the close happens. This does it for you. Want your quotes to chase themselves?

3. Scheduling and dispatch, handled

AI books, confirms, and reminds customers, fills cancellations, and helps route crews so you stop losing the day to the phone and the whiteboard. Why it matters: no-shows and windshield time eat your margin. Automatic reminders cut no-shows, and smarter routing gives your crews back real hours every week. Want your schedule to run itself?

4. Reviews that ask themselves

After every job, AI texts the customer for a review at the right moment, replies to them, and builds the Google profile that wins your next ten jobs. Why it matters: contractors live and die by Google reviews, but nobody has time to ask for them. This asks every time, automatically, so your reputation compounds while you work. Want your reviews on autopilot?

5. Know which jobs actually make money

AI pulls your invoices, materials, and labor and flags the jobs and crews that quietly bleed margin, while you can still fix it. Why it matters: most contractors do not know their true job cost until the job is over and the money is gone. I ran a construction P&L, so I built this to catch it in real time. Want to see which jobs are bleeding money?

These five are just to get the wheels turning, not a menu you have to pick from. Whatever quietly costs you jobs or hours can usually be automated, and I build it around your actual workflow, not a template. If your biggest headache is not even on this list, even better. That is exactly the kind of thing I love to figure out.

Why a founder-operator, not an agency

I am not an agency or a tech consultant who read about the trades. I was COO of a turnkey construction company, and I have run the job site at 7am and the bid at 9pm. So when I scope something for you, I am scoping it for how the work actually gets done, not for a slide show.

Frequently asked questions

What can AI actually do for a contractor or home service business?

The wins that move the needle are operational: answering every call 24/7 and booking the job, following up on quotes until you get a yes or a no, sending reminders that cut no-shows, asking every customer for a review at the right moment, and watching job cost in real time instead of after the job is closed.

Will this work for a one-truck shop or only big contractors?

Both. A one-truck shop gets the most leverage out of the 24/7 receptionist, the quote follow-up, and the review engine. Multi-crew shops add scheduling and dispatch, crew-level performance, and job-cost radar across locations.

Do I need to rip out my CRM, ServiceTitan, Jobber, or Housecall Pro?

No. The work plugs into what you already use. Most field service platforms, CRMs, accounting tools, and review platforms have APIs or export feeds. The AI layer sits on top, reads the data, and acts on it.

How fast can one of these go live?

Most single-purpose automations on this page can be in production within two to four weeks. A 24/7 call-answering agent can be live in days.

Do you build it, or just advise?

I build. I was COO of a turnkey construction company and I write the AI systems that run my own businesses myself.

So, what is costing you the most jobs or hours right now?

Tell me the one that caught your eye, or the headache that is not even on this list, plus a little about your business. I read every one of these myself and reply within 24 hours. Tell me about my business.
