AI phone agent for construction and trades
The roof leak call at 8 pm, answered in your company's name.
CapeFear.ai builds and runs an AI phone agent for your company. When the office is closed or every line is busy, it answers in your company's name, finds out whether the caller is a new job, a current customer, or an emergency, takes down the details your estimator needs, and sends the call to the person you pick. You get a short report each morning. We build it, run it, and fix it. You don't learn any software.
One AI agent, live in about two weeks, measured against your own number.
$1,500 per month, per agent.
On day one we write down the number you care about, like how many after-hours calls reach a person today. On day 30 we sit down with you and look at that number again.
Day 30: your number, before and after. You decide whether we keep going.
Any one-time setup is agreed in writing before you start.
Hear it first
Book a call, and we'll walk you through how it would answer for your business.
We're setting up a construction-specific demo line. In the meantime, book a 30-minute call and we'll show you how the agent would handle your calls.
What the phone agent handles
The call you couldn't take is usually the job you wanted.
Answered when nobody else can
It answers when the office is closed, on weekends, and when every line is ringing. Callers talk to someone instead of a voicemail box.
What your estimator needs
It asks what your estimator would ask: the address, what's wrong, the type of project, and how they heard about you. Short enough that nobody hangs up.
Routed your way
New replacement jobs to the owner, repairs to the project manager, sales calls to an inbox. You set the rules and we write them in. The details arrive by email.
Nothing waits until morning
An active leak or a safety problem goes to the top, and the person you name hears about it right away instead of in the morning.
Every call in one email
Every call from the night before in one email: who called, what they need, and what is waiting on you.
A quote that doesn't go cold
A polite follow-up on every estimate that hasn't had an answer, so a quote doesn't go cold because nobody had time to call. It isn't open yet. Ask us about it on the call.
Live transfer of a caller to a person during business hours, and writing new leads straight into your job software, depend on the phone setup and software you use. We check both on the call and tell you what works for you today.
We answer your after-hours line for 14 days and send you every call we caught.
Forward your after-hours calls to the agent. For 14 days it answers in your company's name, takes down each caller's details, and sends every call to the person you pick. At the end you get the whole list: who called, when, and what they needed.
- No card, and nothing to sign up for on this page.
- It stops on its own at day 14. It doesn't turn into a paid plan unless you say yes.
- You keep your phone number. Your carrier can switch the forward off at any time.
We set up a small number of these each month, so we may ask you to wait a week for a start date.
How the paid agent gets built
Free for 14 days first. If you say yes, the paid agent follows its own 14-day plan.
The call and your number, like how many after-hours calls go to voicemail in a normal week.
Your greeting, your service area, who gets which call, and what the agent must never say. You answer our questions. You don't configure anything.
The agent runs on a test line. You call it, we change what you don't like, and nothing reaches a customer until you say go.
Your agent starts answering, and a short report lands in your inbox each morning.
We sit down with you and compare it with day 0.
This 14-day plan starts after your free trial, once you say yes to the paid agent. A new software connection or a phone setup we haven't seen before can take longer, and we'll say so before you start.
What you won't find on this page
We're a young company, so here is what you won't find on this page.
- No logo wall. No customer has agreed to be named yet, so none is.
- No made-up results. Any figure on this site that isn't yours is labeled as an example.
- No promise that the agent never slips. It hands anything unusual to a person, and we read through the odd calls every week.
- No certifications we don't hold.
Questions contractors ask first
Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep your number and forward calls to the agent after hours or when every line is busy. Your phone carrier sets up the forward, and we walk you through it on the call.
What does it cost?
The price is $1,500 per month for one agent. The phone agent is one agent. Estimate follow-up, when it opens, is a second agent at the same price.
What if it gets a call wrong?
Anything it is not sure about goes to a person with the details attached. We read through the unusual calls every week and adjust the rules, so the same mix-up does not keep happening.
Will it quote prices or turn work away?
Not unless you tell it to. By default it does not quote prices, does not promise a callback time, and does not turn a caller away. An out-of-area call is taken down and flagged for you to decide.
Thirty minutes. Bring your after-hours problem.
We'll tell you whether a phone agent is the right move for your company, and if it isn't, we'll say so.
