PhonePick

For contractors and renovators

An answering service for contractors who are on site, not at a desk

The enquiries that matter come mid-morning, while you are on site with a saw running. A renovation lead is worth thousands and it goes to whoever answers first.

Live in about ten minutes. From $75 a month. No contract, no setup fee, cancel any time.

The number that matters

The average small contracting business loses up to $120,000 a year to calls nobody answered.

You can check that against your own week. Below is the same sum with your figures in it.

What it's costing you

Do the sum on your own numbers

Set to a typical job for this trade. Change it to whatever is true for you.

Nothing is sent anywhere — the sum happens in your browser. It assumes PhonePick reaches every missed caller, and that they convert like the ones you already speak to. Whether that holds is your call, not ours.

What it does

Three things, on every call

It qualifies before you call back

What the job is, roughly when, and whether it is in your area — so you know which call to return first.

It books the walkthrough

Straight into your calendar, with the address written down properly.

It never quotes

Only the sentence you wrote yourself. It will not invent a number for a kitchen it has not seen.

And it learns. Anything a caller asks that it can't answer is written down for you — add the answer once and the very next caller hears it. It never guesses in the meantime.

And it answers in 85 languages. Someone who starts speaking Punjabi, Spanish or Hindi is answered in it mid‑call, and gets the whole job done in it — booked, quoted, written down. On every plan, with nothing to set up. What reaches you is in English either way. The full list.

On the Operations plan

And the rest of the front office

Everything above comes with every plan, from $75 a month. Operations, $149 a month, adds the work around the calls — these are the two parts that matter most here. Each one is off until you switch it on.

Draws and final invoices, chased politely

Import what you are owed from QuickBooks, Wave or FreshBooks as a CSV, or add it by hand. Overdue customers are texted a reminder on the schedule you set, with a pay link if Stripe is connected; paying marks it paid, and nothing it sends mentions collections or fees.

Crew hours by job site

Add a job site once and your crew clocks in and out there from their phones, checked by location at the tap. Hours by person and by site, for payroll and for costing the job.

In the US, texting starts once carriers approve your business, which usually takes one to three weeks. Calls are answered from day one.

A booking page of your own, on Operations and Growth: customers book a site visit themselves at phonepick.ai/book/your-name — from your website, the Book button on your Google listing or a QR code — and only at times that are really free, because the page and the phone share one diary. How it works.

Growth, $449 a month, adds sales calls: it qualifies the buyers who ring, tells you straight away about the hot ones, and calls back your website leads — only ever people who asked, or agreed in writing, to hear from you.

Before you ask

Contractors and renovators ask these three

Will it quote a renovation over the phone?

Never. It repeats a pricing sentence if you wrote one, and otherwise says it cannot quote by phone and offers a callback.

Can it qualify a lead before I ring back?

It gets what the job is, roughly when, and whether it is in your area — enough to know which of six messages to return first.

Does it book the walkthrough?

Into the calendar you already keep, and it reads your calendar first so it never offers a slot you are committed to.

The next one rings whether you're ready or not

Ten minutes to set up. You keep your number, and you can undo the whole thing with one dialled code.
