Missed calls become booked jobs β€” even when you're on a roof

FirstReply texts homeowners back from a local 502 number in about a minute, qualifies the job, and books a hold β€” so nights, weekends, and mid-job rings don't walk to the next contractor.

Louisville HVAC tech phone SMS

Every unanswered ring is a job walking away

In Louisville, homeowners often call 2–3 shops. Whoever replies first usually wins the appointment. When you're mid-install in St. Matthews or it's 9pm after a storm, that first reply isn't you β€” unless something catches it.

  • Missed after-hours and weekend emergency rings
  • Homeowners already dialing the next plumber on Google
  • Dispatch stuck on one call while three more go to voicemail
  • No clean handoff into Housecall Pro, Jobber, or Google Calendar

We needed something that texts back when the trucks are all out β€” not another full-time receptionist hire.

What we stand behind

We guarantee the system is configured and live within the agreed onboarding window when you provide access on time. Missed calls that hit the configured trigger get an automated SMS within about one minute (carrier and platform dependent). Scripts follow your service area, hours, and emergency rules documented in onboarding.

We do not guarantee number of jobs booked, revenue, or ROI β€” or that every homeowner will reply or book.

Questions before you start

What does Growth add beyond SMS?

Growth includes everything in Starter plus an AI voice agent for callers who will not text, emergency vs maintenance routing, and calendar or callback-hold booking. Deeper CRM work is on Pro.

How does the Month 1 trial work?

Month 1 is $197 with coupon FR-GROWTH-M1. Starting month 2, billing continues at $597/mo unless you cancel before day 25 of month 1. Setup is $497 one-time for trial signups.

Do you guarantee booked jobs or ROI?

No. We guarantee configuration, timely SMS triggers on configured missed calls, and scripts that match your documented rules β€” not revenue outcomes.
