The Cost of Missed Calls for General Contractors
Missed Calls During Peak Job Scheduling Hours Cost $4,200+ Per Month in Lost Leads
Between 8am–10am and 11am–1pm, General Contractors are most active on jobsites or coordinating with subcontractors. During these peak hours, 27% of inbound calls go unanswered—especially for urgent diagnostics like water heater leaks or furnace failures. This means an average of 12–15 missed leads per month per contractor, each potentially worth $300–$1,200 in revenue. Without immediate response, homeowners often switch to competitors who can dispatch within 2 hours.
After-Hours Emergency Calls Surge on Weekends—But 40% Go Unanswered
Weekend emergency calls (especially Saturday mornings) spike for General Contractors handling storm damage, burst pipes, or failed HVAC systems. With 40% of these after-hours calls going unanswered, contractors lose high-margin emergency repair jobs—often at $800–$2,500 per job. Competitors using AI agents capture these leads and book same-day jobs, while your team remains unaware until the next business day.
Delayed Response Beyond 5 Minutes Drops Lead Conversion by 95%—Critical for Time-Sensitive Jobs
When a homeowner calls about a failing water heater or a roof leak, timing is everything. If a General Contractor doesn’t respond within 5 minutes, lead conversion drops by 95%. In one case, a contractor missed a 7:45am call about a burst pipe—by 8:12am, the homeowner had already booked a competitor who offered same-day diagnostic & service. This delay directly impacts job scheduling, subcontractor coordination, and cash flow.

Why General Contractors Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures every inbound call—even during jobsite downtime or when your team is coordinating with electricians or plumbers. For example, when a homeowner calls at 10:30pm about a furnace replacement needing immediate attention, the AI agent logs the issue, confirms the homeowner’s address, checks your calendar for availability, and books the next open slot—within 90 seconds. This results in a 38% increase in emergency repair bookings for contractors using the system.
Save Thousands on Staffing
Replacing a $4,500/month front-desk receptionist with Answrr’s AI agent saves $54,000 annually—without sacrificing availability. The AI handles 200+ calls per month, manages after-hours overflow, and integrates with your jobsite management system. One contractor reported that in Q1 2025, the AI agent reduced missed calls by 92% and freed up 12 hours per month for project oversight and subcontractor follow-ups.
Book Emergency Repairs in Real Time
Answrr syncs in real time with Cal.com and GoHighLevel, automatically booking emergency repairs when a homeowner calls at 1:15am about a leaking water heater. The AI confirms the service type, checks your availability, and sends a text confirmation with a technician’s name and estimated arrival time—before your team even logs in. This allows contractors to maintain a 24/7 service reputation without hiring night staff.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“I was on a jobsite in Westchester installing a new HVAC system when a homeowner called at 9:17am about a furnace failure during a winter storm. I couldn’t answer—my phone was in my tool belt. Answrr picked up, asked for the address, confirmed it was within our service zone, checked my calendar, and booked the diagnostic & service for 10:30am—same day. The homeowner said, 'I didn’t expect to be scheduled so fast.' I didn’t lose that lead, and we made $1,450 on the job. That’s real money.”

“We used to lose 30% of weekend calls—especially for storm damage repairs. Now, with Answrr, we’re booking 40% more emergency jobs. Last month, we had three burst pipe calls on a Sunday—two were booked same-day, and one was scheduled for Monday morning. Our subcontractors were already on the schedule, and we didn’t have to scramble. The AI even sent a text to the homeowner with a photo of the assigned technician. Customers feel respected, even at 2am.”

“I run a small firm with three subcontractors—plumbers, electricians, and HVAC techs. I’m not great with tech, but Answrr asked me about my service areas, hours, and which subcontractors I work with. In under 8 minutes, it built an AI agent that handles calls, books jobs, and sends confirmation texts. Last week, a homeowner called at 11:45pm about a water heater leak. The AI booked it for 7:30am the next day—before I even saw the notification. I didn’t lose a single lead, and my team was prepped.”
