After‑hours AI receptionist · for remodelers
When your office closes, your after‑hours assistant picks up in your business name, answers from the facts you approve and books the free estimate on your calendar. By day, calls ring you exactly as they do now. And before it answers a single homeowner, you call it yourself.

02 · The math
Only 52% of calls to home services businesses are answered by a person (Invoca, 2026). Here is what one lost evening call a month adds up to, in round numbers.
The math
Say voicemail loses just one evening caller a month, for good, and your average job is a midrange bathroom at $26,138.
That's about$52,000 of work a year
Example numbers. Bathroom: Cost vs Value 2025. Margin: NAHB, 2026. Your own numbers come out of the free After‑Hours Test.
2 jobs a year. From one call a month.
At remodelers' average gross margin of 29.9%, one midrange bathroom leaves about $7,800 of profit.
A year of your after‑hours assistant costs $2,061, setup included. One of those bathrooms pays for it more than 3 times over.
It answers and books. Winning the job is still yours.
03 · Listen
A homeowner who wants a real person, and one who only wants a price. Both on a weekend, both answered honestly and from your facts, and both end with your team in charge.
Example business and synthetic voices. The price range is Larkmoor's example, not a real quote: yours comes from the Fact Sheet you approve.
04 · How it works
Six steps, from your facts to the report on what it booked. Pick one to see it.
01 · Set up
We write your Fact Sheet with you: your services, your towns, your price ranges and the things it should never say. Anything that isn't on it, it takes a message for you.
What it means for you: Homeowners get straight answers in your words, and nobody hears a price you didn't approve.
02 · Your hours
You pick its hours: evenings, weekends and holidays. During your working hours, calls ring you or your receptionist exactly as they do now.
What it means for you: Your team keeps every daytime call. The assistant covers only the hours that go to voicemail today.
03 · Test
We test it on real calls first. Then you call it yourself, ask what homeowners ask and tell us what to change. It answers its first homeowner only after you say it's right.
What it means for you: No surprises. You know exactly what a caller hears at 9 PM, because you heard it first.
04 · After you close
It answers in your business name as your after‑hours assistant, asks what, where and when, and offers a free walkthrough on your calendar. A caller who wants a person gets an honest answer and a callback first thing.
What it means for you: The family planning a kitchen at 9 PM gets an answer and a time, not your voicemail.
05 · Next morning
Every call leaves a short summary in the app: who called, the project, the town and what was agreed. Bookings are already on your calendar, and callbacks wait with their notes.
What it means for you: Your first call of the day is to a homeowner who's expecting you, and you call back prepared.
06 · Every month
We listen to its calls, fix anything that sounded off, update your Fact Sheet when your prices or towns change, and report the walkthroughs it booked.
What it means for you: It keeps getting better, and you don't have to run it yourself.
05 · Why after hours only
A remodel is a big decision, and most homeowners would rather be guided by the people who will build it than by a bot. So your assistant never stands between them and your team. It only answers when the other choice is voicemail, and the family that called three remodelers after dinner reaches the one that picked up.

06 · Price
$2,061 for the first year, setup included, against about $7,800 of profit on one midrange bathroom (Cost vs Value 2025, NAHB 2026). A full‑time receptionist at the median wage costs about $38,000 a year, for 9 to 5 only (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025).
$147 a month
+ $297 one‑time setup. Up to 300 after‑hours minutes a month included. Already on Booked? Adding it costs the same.
Booked, our follow‑up system, doesn't use AI to reply: it texts every missed call back in under a minute and rings your phone at 2 minutes. AI phone answering is only this service. How speed to lead works
07 · Questions
Setup, handoffs, prices and what callers hear, answered before you pay anything.
Some people do, which is why it only answers when nobody else can. During the day your calls ring you or your team as they do now. After hours, the choice isn't AI or a person, it's AI or voicemail. It says it's your after‑hours assistant, keeps it short, and passes anything personal to you.
Listen to the sample calls on this page and judge for yourself. They're an example business with synthetic voices, made so you can hear the kind of call it handles. We pick your assistant's voice and write its greeting with you, and you call it yourself before it answers a homeowner, so you decide whether it sounds right.
It tells them honestly that the team is off and when you're back, then offers a callback first thing or a time to talk with you, and takes a note of the project so you call back prepared. It never pretends to be you or a person on your team. You can hear it in the Saturday sample call on this page.
A live answering service bills by the minute and usually takes a message for you to return. A 24/7 AI picks up every call, even when your team is free. Ours answers only when your office is closed and books the walkthrough. With Booked, a call you miss by day gets a text back in under a minute too. The four ways to cover your phone, compared
No. Keep your receptionist and your daytime routine. The assistant only answers when your office is closed, so the 9 PM caller gets an answer instead of voicemail, and your team picks the conversation up in the morning.
Something short, like a good front desk: "Hi, it's Riley, Larkmoor Remodeling's after‑hours assistant. How can I help?" Then it uses the caller's name once they give it. If someone asks whether they're talking to a real person, it says no, it's the after‑hours assistant, and tells them when the team is back. We write your greeting and pick its name with you.
It only gives the price ranges you put on your Fact Sheet, as ranges, and points to a free estimate for the real number. We test it before it goes live and check its conversations every month.
Up to 300 after‑hours minutes a month are included, about 150 calls at 2 minutes each. Above that it's $0.25 a minute, and we tell you before it happens. Calls during your working hours never reach it.
Most of the work is ours: we write the Fact Sheet with you, set the hours it answers and test it on real calls. Your part is checking the Fact Sheet and calling it yourself. It goes live as soon as you say it's right.
No. It's its own service: $297 to set up, then $147 a month. If you're already on Booked, adding it costs the same. Booked is our follow‑up system: an instant reply in your words to every new text, form and message, a text back for every missed call, and a follow‑up for every quiet estimate. What Booked does
Jobber's top plan now includes an AI receptionist you run yourself. We write the greeting and the answers with you, keep it to after hours, check its calls every month and report the estimates it books. If you'd rather run Jobber's yourself, keep your money.
