The Call Recovery System
Never lose another job to a missed call.
The Call Recovery System answers the calls you can't take, books the job, and emails you the lead. Done for you.
Every missed call has a price tag. Here's the math.
Those numbers are yours to change: plug in your own missed calls, average job, and close rate. Bring them to the call and we'll run the full math before you spend a dollar.
How the Call Recovery System works
It answers
Nights, weekends, and the 2pm calls your crew can’t take on the job. It sounds good, opens by saying it’s an assistant, and gets to work.
It books
Real slots on your real calendar. Emergencies like no heat, a burst pipe, or a dead panel skip the queue: it grabs the address and flags it urgent in the email to you.
You get the lead
Name, number, address, what the job is, how urgent. Emailed to you as soon as the call ends, logged so nothing slips.
Three calls, three outcomes
Booking a new job, checking your calendar, catching an emergency at midnight: here's how the Call Recovery System runs the three calls a home service business can't afford to miss.
Nora answers here for Ridgeline Roofing, our sample roofing company. These are real, unscripted calls with the demo line. Yours picks up with your company name, your trade, your prices, and your rules, and we build an assistant disclosure into its greeting.

Built for the calls contractors actually get
For roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage door, pest control, septic, restoration, tree service, appliance repair, locksmith, and pool service companies, and any home service business that lives on inbound calls.
After-hours calls
Most homeowners call after work. If you don’t answer, they call the next contractor on Google. Now you answer.
Emergencies
No heat at 2am, a burst pipe, a dead electrical panel: no small talk, address and number first, flagged urgent in your email, callback promise the caller can hold onto.
Price shoppers
It shares your rough ranges and books the free estimate or service call. It never quotes a binding number. Pricing stays yours.
Warranty and insurance questions
Storms, breakdowns, and manufacturer warranties fill the line with "will this be covered?" It books the inspection or service call and leaves the coverage talk to you.
Spam and robocalls
Vendors and robo-dialers get one polite line and a hangup. Your lead list stays clean and your phone stays quiet.
The morning summary
Every call logged: who, what, how urgent, what happened. You read 30 seconds of summary instead of 20 minutes of voicemail.
It answers in their language.
Set your line up bilingual: callers get answered in the language they open with, and if they switch mid-call, it switches with them. The lead still lands in your inbox in English.
55 languages supported.
Fair questions
Does it actually sound human?
It sounds good, and it does not pretend. It opens by saying it’s an assistant, with a light touch, and callers keep talking. Hiding it would be worse: people hang up on tricks, not on honesty. Judge it yourself from the recording above.
What happens when someone has an emergency at 2am?
It skips the chit-chat, takes the address and callback number first, flags it urgent in the email to you, and tells the caller exactly when to expect your call. Emergencies (no heat, a burst pipe, a dead panel) never get parked in next week’s calendar.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. Your carrier forwards missed and after-hours calls to the Call Recovery System. Your number stays on the truck, the yard signs, and Google.
What if a caller demands a price?
It shares the rough ranges you approve and books the free estimate or service call for a real number. It never quotes, discounts, or price-matches. That stays your call.
How long until it’s live?
We aim for about 3 days from the intake call: build, your three test calls, then forward the line. Every call in the first live week is reviewed by a person. Your first month is free: your card goes on file at signup and nothing is charged for the first 30 days. Cancel before then and you pay us nothing (Service Terms, Section 5). The phone platform bills you directly for call minutes from day one, usually $20 to $40 a month, free month included.
Who owns it if we part ways?
Your phone account is in your name from day one: you’re the Admin, it bills your own card, and you can remove us any time. If we part ways after your first paid month, you keep that account, the receptionist we built and its number. If you cancel during the free month, you keep the account and its number, and we remove the receptionist we built. Our alerts and lead log stop, because they run on our servers. No hostage situations.
