AI receptionist for renovation businesses in Canada

Two years of saving and they’re interviewing contractors.

They saved for two years for this basement and they’re interviewing contractors this month. Front&Center picks up in English or French while you’re on site with the crew. It asks which rooms and what they want done, books the walkthrough on your calendar, and keeps the quote request from going cold while you build.

The problem

Why renovation owners
miss jobs

More walkthroughs booked, with the rooms, the scope and the budget timing in hand before you knock on the door.

  • Big jobs are decided over weeks

    A basement or a kitchen is the biggest cheque these homeowners write. A slow reply in week one means you never make the short list.

  • Site days start early and end dusty

    From the demolition to the last trim piece, you’re on site with no time for a call about someone else’s project.

  • They call during work hours and expect an answer today

    Homeowners plan renovations from their own desks at lunch. The contractor who answers at noon gets the walkthrough booked.

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.

The math

can pay for the month

Questions

Renovation owners ask
before switching it on

  • Can an AI receptionist answer calls for my renovation business?

    Yes. They saved for two years for this basement and they’re interviewing contractors this month. Front&Center picks up in English or French while you’re on site with the crew. It asks which rooms and what they want done, books the walkthrough on your calendar, and keeps the quote request from going cold while you build. More walkthroughs booked, with the rooms, the scope and the budget timing in hand before you knock on the door.

  • What does the AI say when a renovation customer calls?

    It answers in your business’s name, for example “Thanks for calling Parkside Renovations. How can I help you today?”, 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 renovation call worth?

    Say a typical job in Renovation is worth $20,000+. 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 renovation 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 renovation 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.
