The problem
Every missed call is a job for someone else.
Homeowners call two or three contractors and hire whoever answers first. You can't do the work and win the next job at the same time. Now you don't have to.
Voicemail loses jobs
Most callers won't leave a message. They just dial the next contractor in the search results.
Quotes go cold
Estimates go out and nobody follows up. Ready-to-buy homeowners drift away.
Nights and weekends
Homeowners plan projects after work. Your phone is off, and their next call goes to your competitor.
What it does
Your front office, always on.
Not a phone tree. A trained assistant that knows your services, area, prices, and rules, and acts on every call.
2:14 AM● Still answering
24/7 answering
Picks up on the first ring, answers questions about your services and service area, and screens out tire-kickers using your rules.

Estimate booking

Quote callbacks
When a homeowner calls back about an estimate, it answers common questions from your approved info and flags the ones ready to sign.

Every call, searchable
Recordings, transcripts, and one-line summaries for every call, texted to you the moment it ends.
★ Recommended lead source
Need more jobs? Start with Networx.
Networx is our preferred lead source for remodelers, roofers, electricians, painters, landscapers, and general contractors: homeowners with real projects, matched to your trade and service area. Connect it once and every new lead flows straight into BoltForge, so none of them sit unanswered.
- A new lead arrives. It's saved to your BoltForge contacts the second Networx sends it.
- You get an alert with their name, number, and project, so you can reach out first.
- They call back. Your receptionist already knows who they are and what they asked for, and books the estimate.
How it works
Hear it with your business behind it.
Build your receptionist free, test it with your real services and prices, and pay only when it sounds right. Once you're on a plan, our team helps you fine-tune it and hooks everything up.
Build it
In your dashboard, add your services, area, hours, pricing guidance, FAQs, and booking rules. Pick a voice. Free.
Test it
Make up to 10 free test calls. Throw curveballs, tune anything that's off, and hear it get it right.
Go live with our help
Pick a plan and our team takes it from there: we customize it with you and connect your calendar, CRM, and phone number.
The math
What is voicemail costing you?
Drag the sliders. Most owners don't like the answer.
Pricing
Priced like a tool. Works like a hire.
A full-time receptionist costs $3,000+ a month and goes home at 5. Build yours free, hear it on 10 test calls, and pay only when you deploy. No contract.

Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Build your receptionist free in the dashboard and make up to 10 test calls to hear exactly how it handles your business, with your services, prices, and rules behind it. No card needed. You only pay when you're happy and ready to deploy it.
Will callers know they're talking to AI?
Yes. The agent introduces itself as your virtual assistant, and calls are announced as recorded. Being upfront builds trust, keeps you compliant, and callers mostly care that someone picked up and solved their problem.
Will it know my business?
Yes. You teach it your services, service area, hours, pricing guidance, and booking rules. It answers with your approved information, not a generic script, and you can test it yourself before customers ever hear it.
Does it work with Housecall Pro, Jobber, or ServiceTitan?
Yes, on the Book plan and above. We connect through each platform's official API, and our team hooks it up for you once you're on a plan, so jobs and customers land where you already work. No CRM? Use the built-in BoltForge calendar and contact list. It's included on every plan.
Does it work with Networx leads?
Yes. Networx is our recommended lead source for contractors. Connect it from your dashboard in a few minutes and every new Networx lead is saved to your contacts with an instant alert. When the homeowner calls back, your receptionist already knows their name and project.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. We assign you a local number. Forward your existing line to it for after-hours or overflow, or put the new number on your website and ads. You can switch between the two anytime.
What happens when a caller needs a real person?
You set the rules. The agent can transfer to your cell, take a detailed message, or book a callback. Emergencies follow the escalation path you approve.
How long does setup take?
Most businesses are live the same day. Build and test it yourself in the dashboard in about 20 minutes. Once you're on a plan, our team gets on a call with you to fine-tune it and hooks up your calendar, CRM, and phone number for you.
What if I go over my minutes?
Extra minutes are $0.25 each, and overage is capped at $100 a month unless you raise it, so there are no surprise bills. Spam and robocalls are filtered before they use your minutes.
What do you do with my Google or Outlook calendar?
Only two things: we read when you're busy so your receptionist never double-books you, and we add the appointments it books. We never access your email. Disconnect anytime from your dashboard.
Can it fit a custom workflow?
Yes. Some connections allow custom workflow integration, like routing certain jobs to certain crews or creating records your way in your CRM. Get in touch with us and we'd be happy to help you set this up!
