What it does for flooring installers

An AI receptionist for flooring installers answers every call, text and DM the moment it comes in. It asks the square footage and the material the caller wants, gives a price range from your price book and books the measure on your calendar. It catches the warranty callbacks and screens the spam. It works after hours and on weekends, even while you are on a jobsite.

Text thread
  1. Customer: Hi! What do you charge for vinyl plank in a 300 square foot kitchen?
  2. AI: Hi! Luxury vinyl plank runs $5 to $8 a square foot installed with us, depending on the plank you pick. For 300 square feet that's about $1,500 to $2,400.
  3. Customer: Does that include taking out the old tile?
  4. AI: Tile removal is $2 a square foot extra, and if the subfloor needs leveling we price that at the measure. Anything else, like stairs or baseboards?
  5. Customer: No, just the kitchen.
  6. AI: Then the next step is a free in-home measure for the exact number. I have Tuesday at 5 PM or Saturday at 10 AM.
  7. Customer: Saturday at 10.
  8. AI: You're booked for Saturday at 10 AM. I've sent the owner the room, the square footage and the tile tear-out.

Calls it handles

  • A measure request during a hardwood install

    You are on your knees nailing down planks. The AI asks how many square feet and whether they want carpet, vinyl or hardwood, then books the in-home measure for that week.

  • A photo of buckled flooring after a leak

    A past customer texts a picture of cupped boards. The AI recognizes a possible warranty or water issue, gets the install date and the room and flags it to you for a callback.

  • A weekend price shopper texting at 8pm

    Someone texts asking what luxury vinyl plank runs for a 300 square foot kitchen. The AI quotes a range from your price book, explains that subfloor prep can change it and offers a measure slot.

Common questions

Can it quote my flooring jobs or do I still have to call everyone back?

It quotes a range straight from your price book. The caller gives the rooms, the rough square footage and the material. The AI returns a price range, with the usual caveat that subfloor condition and prep can move the number, and books the in-home measure so you confirm the real price on site.

How does it handle warranty and callback calls versus new installs?

It asks when the floor was installed and what is happening, like gapping, cupping or a lifted plank. If it sounds like a warranty or moisture issue, it gathers the room, the photos and the install date and routes the call to you instead of treating it like a fresh quote.

What happens to calls and texts that come in while I am on a job or after hours?

They all get answered the same way, whether you are laying tile or closed for the night. The AI captures the square footage, the material and the address and books the measure on your calendar. You wake up to real appointments instead of a list of missed calls.
