# The AI receptionist for siding contractors that books estimates in any weather An AI receptionist for siding contractors answers your phone 24/7 in your company’s name. It asks whether the homeowner wants new siding, a repair or storm damage fixed, what the current siding is, how many stories and whether insurance is involved, then books an estimate or texts you the lead. Your crews keep hanging siding. ## Why siding contractors miss calls - **Storm damage brings bursts of calls:** After a windstorm tears vinyl off houses across a neighborhood, dozens of homeowners call in a day. You are already on a job, and every missed call is a replacement project or insurance claim that goes to someone else. - **Siding is a big decision for homeowners:** A full re-side is one of the largest exterior projects a homeowner takes on, and they want a company that sounds organized. Voicemail and slow callbacks make you look smaller than you are before you ever get to the house. - **Estimates need details about the house:** Current siding type, stories, square footage, whether there is rot behind it, trim and soffit work, window wraps. Without those, estimate visits run long and quotes change after the first walkaround. ## Calls Vocenya answers for siding contractors - Full vinyl siding replacement estimates - Fiber cement and engineered wood siding - Storm damage repair - Insurance claim siding work - Soffit, fascia and trim replacement - Cedar shake repair and replacement - Color and style questions ## How does an AI receptionist help siding contractors win more jobs? Homeowners shopping for siding call a few companies and often choose the one that responds quickly and professionally. The receptionist answers every call 24/7, asks about the current siding, stories, the problem and insurance, and books estimates or inspections into your calendar. You get a text summary, so you can prepare samples and plan the right time for each visit, and you look like the organized company you are from the very first call. ## How does it handle storm damage calls? After a storm, the receptionist can take many calls at once and ask the questions that set priority: is the wall exposed, is water getting in, how much siding is missing, has insurance been contacted. You decide which answers make a call urgent enough for a warm transfer and which get booked as inspections. Every one of those calls lands in your summary with the details, so you can judge how urgent it really is. Every caller gets a clear next step, even when your phone would otherwise be overwhelmed. That is the difference between a storm that fills your calendar and one that fills your voicemail. ## Can it answer questions about siding materials? Yes, from your website and notes. If you install vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood or cedar shakes, it can describe the options, the brands you carry and how they differ in maintenance, using your words. It does not make claims you have not written down. Homeowners who want to compare in detail get booked for an estimate where you can show samples and colors. You get a summary listing the materials the homeowner asked about, so you bring the right samples. ## Can it help with insurance claim jobs? The receptionist can ask whether the homeowner has filed a claim, the insurance company’s name and whether an adjuster visit is scheduled, and include that in your summary. It does not give insurance advice or promise coverage, but it makes sure you have what you need to help the homeowner through the process and coordinate with the adjuster. Homeowners dealing with storm damage are often stressed and unsure where to start, so a calm, organized first call gives them confidence in your company before you ever arrive. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the AI receptionist quote siding jobs? Most siding contractors do not quote by phone because square footage, trim and prep vary so much. The receptionist can explain that and book an estimate. If you do share starting ranges or a minimum repair charge, it can share those exactly as you write them. ### Will it transfer urgent storm calls to me? Yes. On the Growth and Pro plans, you can set rules for which calls get warm transferred to your phone, such as exposed walls or water getting inside. Everything else gets booked or captured with a detailed summary sent to you. ### Does it work with Jobber or Housecall Pro? Yes. It can send leads into Jobber or Housecall Pro and book estimates there, or into Google Calendar or Microsoft 365. You keep your existing workflow, and each lead arrives with the siding details the homeowner shared on the call. No retyping. ### Can it speak Spanish or Russian? Yes. It speaks English, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian today, and sends you every summary in English. That helps you serve more homeowners in neighborhoods where another language is spoken at home. Homeowners are more comfortable discussing a large project in their own language, and you still get every detail you need. ### How do I try it?
