Answering Service
painting
AI agents and painting-industry specialists handle estimate requests, schedule consultations, and answer color and prep questions in 65+ languages.
The short version: AI voice at $0.15 a minute takes estimate requests, scheduling and "how long will it take" questions. A person takes complaints about finish quality, anything involving a deposit, and jobs where the customer is already living in the space. Live agents from $300 a month including 500 minutes. Estimate requests are the whole business here — an unanswered one is simply the competitor's job.

what it costs
Most vendors in this category quote by form. These are our published packages — not a quote, since language mix, hours and volume all move the number. The per-minute figures are simply the monthly price divided by the included minutes.
| Option | Published price | Per minute | What it's for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI voice | $0.15 | per minute | Estimate requests and callback scheduling — for most painters this is the majority of inbound |
| Web chat | $0.05 | per session | Web and social enquiries about colour consultation, timelines and whether you do exteriors |
| Live shared team | from $300 / month | includes 500 min → ≈ $0.60/min | Cover during the working day, when everyone including the owner is on a ladder |
| Live shared team | from $650 / month | includes 1,500 min → ≈ $0.43/min | Peak exterior season, when a week of good weather generates a month of calls |
| Dedicated agent | from $5.80 | per hour, per agent | A dedicated agent who knows your crews, your paint lines and the jobs you do not take |
Anything involving a person is a starting price. Two things move it: which languages you need, and how senior an agent the work actually requires — a bilingual agent handling refund authority is not the same hire as one taking bookings. AI voice and web chat are flat, because there is no hiring in them. And every model above is open to every business on this page: which one fits is a question about the shape of your volume, not about your industry.
Minimum engagement is half a seat — not a five-seat block. We also bill per resolved issue, from $1, where you pay nothing if it is not resolved; that model fits businesses where a customer problem actually gets solved on the call, not businesses where the call is intake.
who takes which call
Most vendors sell you either an AI receptionist or a live answering service and leave the allocation to you. Since we run both, here is the split we would actually recommend — including the calls we think should never touch automation.
| The call | Route to | Cost of getting it wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Estimate request, standard residential | AI | Low. Capture and schedule the walkthrough; speed is what wins it. |
| "When are you starting / finishing?" | AI | Low. It is a schedule question with one answer. |
| Colour or product advice | Live agent | Medium. A confident wrong answer becomes a repaint you eat. |
| "The finish is patchy / the colour is wrong" | Live agent | High. This is a callback, a review and possibly a refund. |
| Deposit, invoice or change-order questions | Live agent | High. Money in dispute is never a routine ticket. |
| Commercial or multi-unit enquiry | Live agent | High. One qualified call here is worth a season of residential. |
setup
Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.
your existing software
We integrate with Jobber, ServiceTitan and Skimmer, so a booking taken at 9pm on a Sunday is on the schedule before your first truck moves Monday morning, with the intake notes attached to the job. If you run something else, tell us what it is and we will tell you straight whether we connect to it today or whether it needs building.

questions
AI voice is $0.15 per minute and web chat is $0.05 per session. Live agents start at $300 per month including 500 minutes — about $0.60 per minute — or from $5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.
That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.
No, and we would not pretend to. What we do is capture everything you need before the walkthrough — rooms or exterior surfaces, approximate square footage, ceiling height, current condition, whether furniture needs moving, occupied or vacant, timeline, and how they found you — then book the estimate visit straight into your calendar. Pricing a paint job from a phone description is how contractors lose money, and we are not going to help you do it.
That is the normal shape of a painting account, and it is the case where AI earns its keep: the calls arriving between 9am and 4pm are mostly estimate requests and schedule questions, both of which have right answers. A person picks up the ones that do not — quality complaints, money, commercial enquiries. You set where the line sits and can move it as the season changes.
