What it does for masonry contractors
An AI receptionist for masonry contractors answers every call the moment it rings. It sorts a leaning chimney from a routine repointing job, gets the address and a few photos and books the site visit on your calendar. For a failing wall or an unsafe chimney, it reaches you fast. It works after hours and on weekends, even while you are laying block.

Hear it handle a call like yours
The kind of call masonry contractors get at the worst possible time, answered and booked while you work. Then try it yourself.
- AI: Cornerstone Masonry, what can we help with?
- Customer: Our retaining wall in the backyard is bulging out. It's holding back a slope.
- AI: How tall is the wall, and is it cracking or leaning?
- Customer: About 4 feet. There's a crack and it's leaning a little.
- AI: Please keep kids and pets away from the base until someone sees it. I'm marking this a priority. The site visit is free. Rebuilds like that often start around $60 a square foot of wall face, and the owner prices it on site.
- Customer: When can someone come?
- AI: Tomorrow at 3 PM is open.
- Customer: Okay, book it.
- AI: Booked for tomorrow at 3 PM. I've texted the owner the height and the lean in case a crew can look sooner.
Calls it handles
A chimney leaning after a storm
The AI recognizes it could be unsafe. It gets the address and a photo of the lean and reaches you right away so you can decide if it needs a same-day look.
A patio quote while you are on a scaffold
A homeowner wants a paver patio priced. The AI asks the square footage, the material and the timeline, then books a measure-up site visit before they call the next mason.
A retaining wall bulging in the backyard
The AI catches that a wall is bowing and holding back soil. It gathers the height, length and photos and puts the job on your schedule ahead of the cosmetic repointing calls.
Booked by your rules
It only offers real openings inside the hours you set, never a day you blocked. Spam and out-of-area leads never land on your calendar.

Follow-up written for every lead

One memory across every channel
They text at lunch, DM at nine and call the next day. It already knows the job.
More reviews and fewer bad ones
Mark a job done and the AI asks how it went. Happy customers get your Google review link. Unhappy ones come to you first.

Common questions
Can it quote masonry work over the phone or does it need to see the job?
It gives a range on standard jobs and books a site visit for the rest. Most masonry pricing depends on what nobody can see on a call, like wall condition, square footage and access. So it gathers the details and photos, gives a price range from your price book when the job is standard and books a measure-up, so you price the real number on site.
Will it know the difference between an unsafe chimney and a small repointing job?
Yes. You tell it what counts as urgent, like a leaning chimney, loose bricks over a doorway or a bulging retaining wall. When a caller describes one of those, it flags the job, gathers the address and photos and reaches you fast instead of slotting it next to routine cosmetic work.
What happens to calls that come in while I am on a job or it is after hours?
It answers every one, day or night. While you are mixing mortar or up on a scaffold, it qualifies the lead, gathers the job details and photos and books the site visit on your calendar. You come down to booked work instead of a list of missed calls.
