The Problem

Mid-Job, Mid-Cut,
Mid-Losing a $4,500 Job

Contractors physically cannot answer the phone on a job site. That's not a failure — it's the nature of the work. But it costs you real money every single week.

Without Boojee
2:14pm — Homeowner calls about a kitchen remodel
You're in the middle of a tile installation. Phone rings, you can't get it. Goes to voicemail. The homeowner got three estimates on their calendar by 5pm. Yours isn't one of them. That kitchen remodel was worth $14,000. They hired the guy who answered on the second try.
With Boojee AI Front Desk
2:14pm — Homeowner calls about a kitchen remodel
Your AI front desk picks up immediately. "Thanks for calling [Your Company]. What kind of work are you looking to get done?" Kitchen remodel, mid-September timeline, full gut on a 200 sq ft space. Estimate call booked for Thursday at 4pm. You get a text with the full project brief while you keep laying tile.
Speed wins the job — homeowners go with whoever responds first

Speed is your single biggest competitive advantage. Your AI front desk makes sure you're always first — even when you're 40 feet up on scaffolding.

How It Works

Trained on How
Contractors Actually Work

Not a generic phone script. An AI built around real contractor conversations — project types, timelines, budgets, and the difference between a serious project and a tire-kicker.

1
Every call answered on the second ring
Your existing business number routes calls to the Boojee AI front desk. No new number. No app to install. Answers every call — while you're on the job, driving between sites, or at the lumber yard. The caller always gets a live voice, not a voicemail prompt.
Works with your current number
2
AI asks: "What kind of work are you looking to get done?"
Open-ended first question that gets the homeowner talking. Kitchen, bathroom, deck, basement, addition, repair — the AI hears the project type and adapts the conversation. Emergency repair calls are immediately flagged and handled with urgency. Routine estimate requests are qualified methodically.
Trained on your trade specialties
3
Captures project scope, timeline, and budget signal
The AI collects project address, rough scope, desired timeline, and a budget-qualifying question phrased naturally — filtering out callers who can't afford your work without alienating the ones who can. Every detail lands in your lead notification so you walk into the estimate conversation already prepared.
Budget qualifier included
4
Books the estimate call directly to your calendar
The AI checks your live availability and books the estimate appointment in real time. No back-and-forth. The homeowner gets a confirmation. You get it on your calendar automatically. No double-booking, no chasing callbacks.
Integrates with your calendar
5
Full lead brief hits your phone instantly
The moment the call ends, you receive a formatted text: caller name, phone, project address, project type, scope notes, timeline, and booked appointment time. Show up to that estimate already knowing their project. Close at a higher rate because you came prepared.
Instant lead notification

Built for Contractors

Every Feature Your
Business Actually Needs

Built around the real challenges contractors face — job site noise, emergency calls, seasonal surges, and tire-kicker calls that waste your time.

🚨
Emergency Call Handling
Burst pipe. Broken window. Roof damage after a storm. The AI identifies emergency language immediately, escalates the call with urgency, and either hot-transfers to you or sends an urgent alert so you can call back within minutes.
🔨
Trade-Specific Qualification
You don't do every kind of job. The AI is trained on your specific trade specialties during setup — kitchen, bathroom, decks, additions, handyman repairs, HVAC. It captures the right details for your type of work and filters out project types you don't handle.
💰
Tire-Kicker Filter
The AI includes a natural budget-qualifying step that filters callers who can't afford your minimum project size — without sounding transactional or off-putting. You get estimate calls with qualified prospects, not a parade of $200 repair requests on a $5,000 minimum book.
📍
Service Area Gating
Your AI knows your territory. Out-of-area callers get a polite decline and referral. In-area leads get the full qualification and booking flow. Stop wasting estimate trips 60 miles outside your zone for jobs you'd never take anyway.
📋
Detailed Project Briefing
Every lead notification includes the project address, scope, materials mentioned, timeline expectations, and any special circumstances the caller mentioned. You walk into every estimate already knowing more than the contractor who didn't send an AI first.
📞
Hot Transfer on Pro Tier
For urgent or high-value calls, the AI can attempt a live transfer to your phone on the Professional and Estate tiers. If you pick up, the call transfers. If not, it captures everything and routes it as a priority callback with full context.

The Math

What Missed Estimate Calls
Cost You Every Week

Three missed estimate requests per week at a $4,500 average job value is $13,500 in pipeline gone. Every week. Here's what the math looks like annually.

Emergency Handling

When a Homeowner Has an Emergency,
They Want to Reach Someone. Now.

Emergency repair calls are high-urgency and high-value. A homeowner with a burst pipe or broken window is ready to hire immediately — no estimate needed, no budget conversation. They need someone now. Make sure that's you.

Emergency Call Protocol
Your AI Identifies Emergency Language Instantly
Words like "burst," "flooding," "broken," "emergency," "can't wait" trigger an immediate escalation mode. The AI shortens the qualification flow, gets the address and best contact number, and either attempts a live transfer or sends you an urgent alert that jumps the queue ahead of normal leads.
Burst Pipe / Water Damage
AI identifies urgency, gets address, sends you an immediate priority text. You call back within minutes. That's a job worth $2,000–$15,000 that nobody else even heard about.
Broken Window / Storm Damage
Post-storm surges flood your line with high-urgency repair calls. AI handles volume spikes with no added overhead, routing every emergency to you with full context.
HVAC Emergency
Heater out in January. AC out in July. Emergency flag triggers immediate escalation so you're calling back within the hour instead of finding out at 6pm that you missed it.
Roof Leak
Rain in the forecast, ceiling dripping. Homeowner needs someone today. Your AI captures the urgency, books a same-day or next-morning walk-through, and texts you everything you need to show up ready.

Seasonal Surge Coverage

Peak Season Calls. Zero Extra Overhead.

Your busiest seasons are also the hardest to answer phones. The AI handles volume spikes without adding a single dollar in staffing cost.

🌸
Spring Remodel Rush
Tax refunds land, weather breaks, and every homeowner's renovation wish list comes alive. Spring is your biggest lead surge. Don't miss it.
☀️
Summer Outdoor Build Season
Decks, patios, additions, exterior work. Phone rings while you're sweating on a site. AI answers while you keep building.
🍂
Fall Winterization
Insulation, windows, weatherproofing, furnace checks. Homeowners scramble to button up before winter. Be the first one they reach.
⛈️
Post-Storm Surge
One storm generates 50 calls in 24 hours. AI handles every call simultaneously. You get the leads while competitors' phones go straight to voicemail.

Common Question

"My clients want to talk to
a real contractor, not a robot."

Understood — and they will, on the estimate. What they want right now, in the moment they're calling, is for someone to pick up and start solving their problem. The AI delivers exactly that. Here's what actually matters to a homeowner calling a contractor:

  • Someone answered. The alternative is voicemail. Nobody calls a contractor to leave a voicemail — they call the next one on the list.
  • Their project was understood. The AI knows your trade, asks the right questions, and makes the caller feel like they're talking to someone who does this for a living. Because they are.
  • An estimate was booked. The call accomplished the only thing that matters — getting you in front of the homeowner to close the job.
  • Complex situations are escalated. If a caller has something beyond the AI's scope, it captures the details and routes it to you immediately as a priority callback. Nothing gets dropped.
"My clients have no idea. They just know that when they called, someone professional answered, took their project seriously, and got them booked. That's all they care about."

Questions

Everything You Want
to Know First

Does it handle emergency repair calls?
Yes — and this is one of its highest-value use cases. Emergency language ("burst pipe," "flooding," "broken," "emergency," "can't wait") triggers immediate escalation. The AI shortens qualification, gets the address and contact info, and sends you an urgent priority alert. On Professional and Estate tiers, it can attempt a live call transfer to your phone first.
Can it filter tire-kicker calls?
Yes. The AI includes a natural budget-qualifying step in the conversation. You set your minimum project size during setup, and the AI is trained to politely gather budget signals from callers. Leads that clearly don't match your minimum are noted as such in your alert, so you can triage your callbacks accordingly.
What project types can it handle?
The AI is configured around your specific trade during setup. Kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, deck builds, basement finishing, HVAC, plumbing repairs, handyman work — you define your scope. The AI captures the right project details for your trade type and skips the questions that don't apply to your work.
What about the spring remodel rush and post-storm surges?
That's exactly what the AI is built for. During high-volume periods, it handles unlimited simultaneous calls. No busy signals, no missed opportunities, no overwhelmed office staff. Every surge caller becomes a captured lead — regardless of how many are calling at the same time.
Does it work with my existing phone number?
Yes. You keep your existing business number. We configure inbound call forwarding so calls route to the AI based on your rules — all calls, missed calls only, after-hours only, or any combination. Nothing changes on your customers' end.
What CRMs and tools does it connect to?
Out of the box we connect to GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Calendly, Acuity, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, and Zapier. If you have a CRM not on the list, ask us — if it has a webhook or API, we can likely connect it.
