Missed Calls
the whole job, gone
You're on a ladder, the homeowner calls the next guy. Nobody rings twice — that job is already someone else's.
Serving painting contractors.
Never Lose a Customer Because You Were on a Ladder
When a call goes unanswered, your carrier forwards it to a voice-only number we assign you. Our team picks it up from there — we follow up with the caller and send you a weekly report of every missed call. You keep your existing business number.
Instant missed-call alert to our team, so your customer gets a fast reply.
- ✓ You keep your number
- ✓ No AI — real people follow up
- ✓ No call recording
3 Reasons Painting Contractors Lose Jobs
Lost Reviews
reviews you never asked for
You finished the job and never asked. The competitor who asks after every job keeps posting, and keeps out-ranking you.
Dead Estimates
cold estimates
You gave 30 estimates and closed 12. The other 18 are sitting there with nobody scheduled to call them back.
Estimate Your Missed-Call Leak
The scenarios above are illustrative examples, not guaranteed results. What they cost you depends on your own call volume and job value.
The Recovery System
Forward
Your carrier sends unanswered calls to a voice-only number assigned to you. The number your customers already call doesn't change.
Alert
The system posts the caller's number to our team the moment the call ends, and they take it from there. You don't have to watch anything.
Text Back
A real person on our team texts the customer back for you from their own phone number — never a bot, and nothing is recorded.

How It Works
1
Your carrier forwards unanswered calls to a dedicated number we assign you. You keep your existing business number.
2
You get a weekly report of every missed call, the follow-up we made on it, and any job we booked for you on your booking platform.
3
Our team texts the customer for you — a real person, not an automated text.
4
Nothing is recorded. Twilio's own call log is the call history — we keep no database and no dashboard.
What Are Missed Calls Costing You?
An estimate based on your own inputs — not a guaranteed result. It assumes about 35% of missed calls turn into real leads, a $3,000 job, and a 30% close rate. Change the assumptions and the answer changes with them.
Estimated cost: $3,600 / month
Estimate only. Actual results depend on your call-back rate and your own job values.

What We Promise — and What We Don't
We promise the caller's number reaches our team the moment your call goes unanswered, that a real person — never a bot — follows up for you, and that we never record a call, never build a list from your callers, and never ask you to port your number.
We don't promise a number of jobs. Turning a missed call into a booked job comes down to that conversation, and we won't put a figure on it we can't stand behind.
Straight Answers
Do you text my customers?
Yes. A real person on our team texts your customer back from a real phone number — never a bot — and books the job on your booking platform when they're ready.
Do you record calls?
No. Calls are not recorded. Twilio's own call log is the call history — we keep no database and no dashboard of your callers.
Do I need to change my number?
No. You keep the number your customers already call. Your carrier forwards unanswered calls to a separate voice-only number we assign you.
Who sees the caller's number?
Our team, and you — every missed call and its follow-up shows up in your weekly report. We don't sell it, share it, or use it to market to anyone.
Is this Angi leads?
No. These are your own callers — people who already called your business and nobody picked up. Not shared leads.
What does setup involve?
Your carrier forwards unanswered calls to a voice-only number we assign you, and we point that number at our system. Before a client goes live we place a real phone call to it to confirm the caller's number arrives intact — that test happens before the service is switched on, not after. Your existing number stays exactly where it is; nothing is ever ported.

Why only painters?
I build for one trade. Painting contractors have a specific problem: the phone rings while both hands are on a ladder or a gun, and by the time you're down, the homeowner has already called someone else.
So this does one thing. It puts the caller's number in front of our team the moment the call goes unanswered, we follow up for you, and you get the weekly report. No shared leads, no 12-month contracts, no marketing jargon.
