The Cost of Missing Calls for Contractors

27%

Missed After-Hours Calls During Critical Job Site Transitions

General contractors frequently miss after-hours calls—especially between 5:00 PM and 8:00 AM—when field technicians are en route between job sites or finalizing work on-site. According to Invoca, 27% of inbound calls go unanswered during these windows, with weekend missed call rates exceeding 40%. This is particularly damaging for emergency repair leads, such as a burst pipe at a client’s home during a storm or a structural issue discovered during a remodel. Without a virtual receptionist, these high-value leads are lost to competitors who can respond instantly. Additionally, diagnostic fees for emergency service calls—often $150–$300—are forfeited when the contractor doesn’t answer, reducing profitability on urgent jobs.

85%

Customers Hang Up and Call Competitors

When callers get voicemail, 85% never call back. That means your emergency repair leads go straight to the competition.

N/A

No System to Track or Follow Up on Missed Calls

Without call tracking, you can’t follow up on leads. This damages customer conversion rates and hurts your reputation for responsiveness.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr

Capture Every Lead, Every Time

Our AI-powered after-hours answering service captures every lead, even during peak job site transitions and weekend emergencies. For example, one general contractor in Texas reported booking 14 new emergency repair jobs in just 45 days after implementing the service—three of which were high-margin structural assessments. The system automatically logs the call, schedules a service call with a field technician, and sends a follow-up email with a diagnostic fee quote. With call tracking enabled, they identified that 68% of after-hours leads converted to jobs, up from 22% before. This directly translates to an estimated $12,000 in recovered revenue per quarter.

Each missed call costs between $300 and $1,200 in lost revenue (Key Takeaways from SocialSpike)

Real Results from Real Businesses

I was on a job site in downtown Austin when a homeowner called at 7:30 PM about a collapsed ceiling in their basement. I couldn’t answer—no signal, no time to step away. The next day, I found out the lead had gone to a competitor who charged $850 for a quick assessment. Since switching to Answrr, I’ve captured 11 after-hours emergency leads in two months—three of which turned into $4,200+ remodeling contracts. The AI even remembers past service calls and references them during follow-ups, which makes clients feel like we’ve been paying attention. It’s like having a second field supervisor who never sleeps.
