Websites, AI Receptionist & Bookkeeping for Contractors & Trades
Your next job is a homeowner Googling your trade plus your town at 9pm, or calling while you're under a sink. I build the three things that turn that into paid work: a site that gets you found, an AI receptionist and automation that answer and clear the busywork, and books that tell you which jobs made money.
Websites that turn searches into calls
When someone searches your trade plus their neighborhood, you want to be the result they call, and it has to be dead simple to reach you from a phone, because that's where your customers are. Photos of real jobs and before-and-afters prove you do the work better than any sales copy, and a clean, current site tells a homeowner you're a real business they can trust in their home. If your site isn't there, fast, and easy to tap-to-call, that job goes to the contractor whose is. Not showing up at all? Start with why your business isn't showing up on Google.
- Tap-to-call & quote requests.Obvious on every page, with a simple form for the customers who'd rather type. Most of your leads are on a phone.
- A work gallery. Your jobs, organized by service, presented so a homeowner can picture you doing theirs.
- Mobile-first & fast.Built to load quick and read clean on a small screen, because that's where your customers are searching.
- Local SEO. Google Business Profile setup, service-area and location keywords, and clean link previews so you turn up in local searches.
AI & automation, starting with a receptionist that books work while you're on the job
The job that pays your week is a homeowner calling at 9pm while your hands are full. If it hits voicemail, they call the next guy, and homeowners rarely leave a voicemail. A burst pipe or a dead furnace doesn't wait, they call down the list until a real answer comes, and nights and weekends are prime time for home problems, exactly when you're off the phone. An AI phone receptionist answers every call so the phone stops handing your jobs to someone else. The math on that is in what missed calls are costing your business.
- Answers 24/7 in your voice. Trained on your services, service area, and hours, so it sounds like your shop, days, nights, and weekends.
- Captures the job.What the work is, where it is, and how urgent, so you know what you're walking into before you call back.
- Books the estimate or appointment. Connects to your calendar and puts it in while the caller is still on the line.
And it doesn't stop at the phone. The receptionist is the flagship, but most of what I build for trades is the automation around it, the repetitive work that eats your evenings:
- Quote and estimate follow-ups.Automatically nudge the homeowner who got a number but hasn't booked, so warm leads stop going cold.
- Review requests on autopilot. A text with your review link goes out after a finished job, so your reputation builds without you chasing it.
- Custom mini-apps for how you run. A simple tool to schedule crews, track job status, or log materials, built around your workflow. See custom mini-apps and AI setup.
- Connect the tools you already use. Calendar, invoicing, and your notes talking to each other, so job details stop living only in your head.
A one-time build from $399at founding rates, and it's yours. Ongoing cost is just usage billed at cost, typically $50 to $150 a month, with no markup. One booked job usually covers the whole build.
Bookkeeping that shows which jobs actually made money
Materials, subs, deposits, equipment, jobs that span months: a trade business has a lot of money moving in different directions. Without costs tied to jobs, everything pools together and a money-losing job hides behind a good one. Customer deposits aren't profit to spend, they're work you still owe. I keep it clean in QuickBooks so your numbers actually tell you what to bid next time. See monthly bookkeeping for how the ongoing plan works.
- Job costing that works. Materials, labor, and subs tracked by job so you can finally see true profit per project.
- Deposits handled right. Customer deposits and progress payments recorded so your income reflects work actually done.
- Subs and materials categorized. Supplier and subcontractor spend sorted consistently, with 1099 contractors flagged for tax time.
- Tax-time ready. Clean, current books your accountant can work from without untangling a year of supply-run receipts.
QuickBooks Certified by Intuit · Levels 1 & 2I build for businesses that sell real work
I run small businesses myself, so I build for getting you customers, not for design awards. The same AI receptionist runs on a real Pittsburgh business's phone today, and I've cleaned up books with messy materials spend and equipment costs. I know how to separate the cost of doing a job from the profit on it.
Common questions
I'm on a job all day, so how does the AI receptionist help?
That's exactly the problem it fixes. When your hands are full and a call comes in, it goes to voicemail and the homeowner calls the next contractor. The AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your voice, gets the job details, and books the appointment or estimate so you don't lose the lead.
Do I have to buy all three services?
No. A lot of trade businesses start with one, usually the website or the receptionist, and add the others later. Tell me where you're losing the most work right now and I'll tell you honestly which one to fix first.
What does the AI receptionist cost for a contractor?
A one-time build from $399 at founding rates, and it's yours. It runs in your own accounts, so ongoing cost is just usage billed at cost, typically $50 to $150 a month. That's a fraction of what a single missed job is worth.
Can you keep job-costing books for a trade business?
Yes. I'm a QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and fully insured. I track materials, labor, and subs by job so you can see true profit per project, handle deposits and retainage right, and keep the books tax-time ready for your accountant. I don't file taxes or do CPA work.
Tell me where you're losing work
Tell me about your trade and your service area, and whether it's the website, the phone, or the books hurting you most. I'll point you to the right fix and email you a real quote, usually within a day.
