AI receptionist for foundation repair businesses in Canada

A bowing basement wall is a 2 a.m. worry.

The crack in the basement wall grew again this month, and they’re lying awake at 2 a.m. thinking about it. Front&Center answers the phone in English or French while your crew is inside a basement with the wall opened up. It asks what they’re seeing, like cracks, water or doors that stick, books the inspection on your calendar, and flags the ones that are getting worse.

What the caller heard

  1. ReceptionistYou’ve reached SolidBase Foundation. How can I help you?
  2. CallerThere’s a crack along the basement wall and it’s let in water twice this spring.
  3. ReceptionistI can book an inspection and note the water entry. Is the crack wider at one end, and has anything in the house shifted, doors or floors?
  4. CallerIt’s wider at the bottom. The basement door started sticking last month.
  5. ReceptionistI’m marking that as a priority. Wednesday at 9:00 or Thursday at 1:00 for the inspection. Which works?

The problem

Why foundation repair owners
miss jobs

Getting-worse calls get flagged to you right away. Inspections get booked with the symptoms, the age of the home and the urgency written down before you arrive.

  • Worry builds for weeks, then the calls come at once

    Homeowners research cracks for weeks and then call three companies in an afternoon. The one who answers and books the inspection first gets seen first.

  • Basements keep you away from the phone

    Piering, wall anchors and crack injections happen underground all day. Quote requests go to voicemail and cool off.

  • A crack that grew this month feels urgent tonight

    New cracks, new water, a door that suddenly sticks. These calls come in the evening, when nobody is at a desk.

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

Foundation repair owners ask
before switching it on

  • Can an AI receptionist answer calls for my foundation repair business?

    Yes. The crack in the basement wall grew again this month, and they’re lying awake at 2 a.m. thinking about it. Front&Center answers the phone in English or French while your crew is inside a basement with the wall opened up. It asks what they’re seeing, like cracks, water or doors that stick, books the inspection on your calendar, and flags the ones that are getting worse. Getting-worse calls get flagged to you right away. Inspections get booked with the symptoms, the age of the home and the urgency written down before you arrive.

  • What does the AI say when a foundation repair customer calls?

    It answers in your business’s name, for example “You’ve reached SolidBase Foundation. How can I help you?”, 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 foundation repair call worth?

    Say a typical job in Foundation repair is worth $6,000+. 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 foundation repair 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 foundation repair 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.
