The Problem Every General Contractor Knows
You can't answer your phone when you're on a job site.
When you're on a job site, you can't answer the phone.
Every missed call is a potential project — a kitchen remodel, a bathroom addition, a deck build. They're calling down their list until someone answers and books the estimate.
The contractors who respond first get the work.
It's that simple. While you're framing a wall or pouring concrete, your competitors are answering calls and booking estimates.
Hiring a receptionist costs too much.
At $35,000+ per year (plus benefits), it only makes sense once you're running a big operation.
They don't work evenings.
Half your calls come in after work hours when homeowners are free to call. A receptionist won't answer those calls.
Here's what it costs you: One missed kitchen remodel is $5,000-10,000 in profit. How many estimates did you miss last month?
How Cira Answers Your Calls
Cira picks up every call in 2-3 rings. Sounds like a real person from your company.
Cira asks about the project
"What kind of work are you looking to get done?" Then asks the right questions:
- What's the project? (kitchen, bathroom, addition, deck, basement)
- What are you looking to do? (full remodel, updates, repairs)
- When do you want to start?
- Do you have a budget in mind?
- Is this your home or a rental property?
- Do you have plans or permits yet?
Cira qualifies the lead
She knows the difference between "just looking" and "ready to start next month." Serious leads with real budgets and timelines get priority.
Cira answers common questions
Most calls ask the same stuff:
- "Do you do kitchen remodels?"
- "What areas do you cover?"
- "Are you licensed and insured?"
- "Can you do this kind of work?"
- "How soon can you give us an estimate?"
- "Do you handle permits?"
Cira answers these right away using info from your website.
Cira books the estimate
She texts your scheduling link or collects details and adds them to your call inbox. Either way, the lead is logged and ready for you to follow up.
You get complete project details
Every call gets saved: what they want done, their timeline, budget range, property address, and the full conversation. Show up to the estimate ready to close.
What This Means for You

- Tuesday afternoon. Someone wants their basement finished. They call you first — Cira answers while your competitors miss it. You get the estimate.
- 💰 You book estimates while working
- You're framing a wall. Your phone buzzes: "New lead - master bath remodel, ready to start in 3 weeks, budget $25k, estimate booked for Thursday 5pm." Done. Back to work.
- 📋 You only talk to serious leads

- A lot of homeowners call after work. Cira handles the 6 PM calls while you're finishing up or home with family.
- 🏆 People say you're professional
