Built for handyman businesses doing $1M–$5M

AI for handyman businesses — without the headache.

A handyman business lives on volume — lots of small jobs, lots of inquiries, lots of scheduling. We build the tools that handle the back-and-forth so you stay on the tools, not the phone.

Where the time goes

The work quietly eating your Handyman week.

You didn't get into this business to live on the phone or write quotes at midnight. These are the things we hear about on almost every first call with an owner in Handyman.

If two or three of these sound familiar, there's a tool worth building.

A constant stream of small-job inquiries to answer and quote

Scheduling Tetris across dozens of short jobs

Quotes that go unanswered with no follow-up

The owner choosing between doing the work and booking the work

What we'd build for you

Practical AI tools, made for Handyman.

Not a chatbot with a monthly fee. Small, reliable tools that do a specific job inside the workflow you already run — so your team is free for the work that grows the business.

Lead capture

Inquiry assistant

Every call, text, and form gets an instant reply, the job scoped with the right questions, and a slot booked — so you stop losing small jobs to slow response.

Built on the tools you already run — you own it at launch.

Estimating

Quick-quote drafter

It drafts ballpark quotes for common jobs from your standard rates, so a customer gets a number fast instead of waiting for you to get off a ladder.

Live in 1–2 weeks, with 30 days of tuning included.

Sales follow-up

Quote follow-up assistant

Open quotes get a friendly nudge if the customer goes quiet, so the small jobs that add up don't quietly disappear.

A real person walks your team through it — no manual to read.

Daily brief

Daily schedule brief

One morning text: today's stops in route order, materials to grab, and what's still open to fill.

Quietly pays for itself, then runs without you watching it.

What this looks like

Representative results for handyman businesses.

These are illustrative examples of the kind of change these tools make — not named clients. The dollar and time figures are realistic, plain-English estimates of typical impact.

01 The situation A solo handyman turning away work he couldn't schedule. Representative example — not a named client

Inquiry assistant

Before

Inquiries piled up while he was on jobs; many callers booked someone else.

After

An assistant answers, scopes, and books every inquiry while he works.

Impact

Representative result: a consistently full schedule without the owner touching the phone mid-job.

Quick-quote drafter

Before

Quotes went out and were forgotten if the customer didn't reply right away.

After

Every open quote followed up automatically until the customer decides.

Impact

Representative result: more small jobs closed from the same lead volume.

Common questions

What Handyman owners ask us.

Can it quote small jobs without me?

For common, well-defined jobs, yes — it gives a ballpark from your standard rates. Anything unusual gets flagged for you to price personally.

I'm a one-person business. Is this overkill?

It's the opposite. When you're the whole company, the phone is your biggest bottleneck. Handing the booking back-and-forth to a tool is what lets a solo operator actually grow.

Will it work with my scheduling app?

Yes. We build on top of Jobber, Housecall Pro, or whatever you already use — or set up something simple if you're running on a notebook.

What if AI isn't the right answer for my problem?

We'll tell you. Honestly — plenty of our first calls end with us saying “you don't need AI for that, you need a better process” or “this is a $200 Zapier zap, not a $5k build.” We make our money on great fits, not by selling everyone an automation. The 15-minute call is free either way.

What happens if the tool breaks or makes a mistake?

Every build has approval gates wherever the stakes are real — sending a customer message, processing a payment, booking a job. The tool drafts, you approve. For the first 30 days after launch we monitor it daily and fix anything that drifts. After that you can keep us on retainer or take it fully in-house — your call.
