AI receptionist for decks and patios businesses in Canada

The deck and the patio have to be done by the long weekend.

They want the backyard finished by the August long weekend and they’re interviewing builders this month. Front&Center answers in French or English while your crew is setting joists or laying pavers. It asks what they want built or fixed and how big it is, books the visit into your calendar, and keeps the quote details together while you work.

  2. CallerWe want to replace the back deck. About 400 square feet, maybe a step down to the yard.
  3. ReceptionistI can book a design visit to look at the space. Is the old deck coming off first, and when do you want it finished?
  4. CallerYou’d take the old one off. We’d love it done by August long weekend.
  5. ReceptionistThursday at 4:30 or Saturday at 9:00, both for the visit. Which works?

The problem

Why decks and patios owners
miss jobs

More visits booked, with the size, the material and the deadline written down before you walk the yard.

  • One short season, one rush of quotes

    Every backyard project in the city gets planned in the same three spring weeks. A slow reply loses the visit.

  • A new deck or patio means meeting a few builders

    Homeowners line up two or three companies before they sign. The crew that books the visit first sets the price the others are measured against.

  • Repair calls fill the gaps between the builds

    Pavers that settled by the steps, polymeric sand washed out over the winter, water sitting against the house. Those callers want re-levelling or a re-sand, and they book whoever answers.

How it works

Three steps, and your customers
never dial a new number

  1. Step 1

    A call comes in

    Your phone still rings first. If you can’t answer, Front&Center picks up.

  2. Step 2

    The AI handles it

    It answers in your company’s name, asks what the job is and where, answers questions from what you’ve told it, and books a time or takes a message.

  3. Step 3

    You get the lead

    You get an alert with a summary. The recording and transcript are in your dashboard, and a text follow-up keeps the job from going cold.

Questions

Decks and patios owners ask
before switching it on

  • Can an AI receptionist answer calls for my decks and patios business?

    Yes. They want the backyard finished by the August long weekend and they’re interviewing builders this month. Front&Center answers in French or English while your crew is setting joists or laying pavers. It asks what they want built or fixed and how big it is, books the visit into your calendar, and keeps the quote details together while you work. More visits booked, with the size, the material and the deadline written down before you walk the yard.

  • What does the AI say when a decks and patios customer calls?

    It answers in your business’s name, for example “Hi, thanks for calling Stonebridge Decks. What can I help with?”, then asks what the job is, how urgent it is and where it is, answers questions about your services, and offers open appointment times or takes a message for a callback.

  • How much is one missed decks and patios call worth?

    Say a typical job in Decks and patios is worth $12,000+. That’s an example; yours may be more or less. If a missed call goes to a competitor, that’s the job you lose. Recovering a single job like that in a month would cover the Growth plan at $300 CAD.

  • How much does an AI receptionist cost for a decks and patios company?

    Front&Center starts at $79 CAD/month on the Solo plan. Growth, at $300 CAD/month, adds the money recovered report, deposit links, briefed transfers and on-call, Jobber, HubSpot and custom lookups. Google review requests are on Scale at $750 CAD/month. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

  • Do I keep my decks and patios business phone number?

    Yes. Your phone still rings first. Only the calls you don’t answer are forwarded to Front&Center through your carrier’s no-answer forwarding, so customers keep dialing the number they already know.
