You're managing crews, sourcing materials, and running job sites across the Portland metro. Every unanswered estimate call is a $5,000–$50,000 remodeling project going to whoever picks up. Your AI receptionist answers every call, qualifies every lead, and books every consultation — so you can focus on building.
Portland homeowners planning renovations typically call three to five contractors. The one who answers first — and sounds the most professional — wins a disproportionate share of those jobs. Right now, that advantage may not be yours.
When you're supervising a kitchen remodel in Lake Oswego or managing a bathroom demo in Beaverton, answering your phone isn't always possible. But when a homeowner in Tigard calls about a deck build or a basement finish, they don't wait. By the time you call back at the end of the day, they've already booked someone else — or at minimum, they're talking to three other contractors and your first impression is a missed call.
Portland home improvement contractors spend $1,500–$5,000 per month on Google Local Services Ads, SEO, and lead generation. Every missed call from that paid traffic is money thrown away. You're paying to put your phone number in front of motivated homeowners — then sending them to voicemail. Your AI ensures every dollar of marketing actually produces a captured lead.
Most homeowners do their renovation research in the evenings. They browse Houzz, check Google reviews, and make their call list after 5 PM. Without after-hours call answering, you're invisible during the window when Portland homeowners are most motivated to take action. Your AI receptionist answers at 7 PM just as readily as 10 AM.
Not every caller is a serious buyer. Some are price shopping with no real intention to hire. Some have unrealistic budgets. Some are calling about a project scope you don't take on. Your AI qualifies callers before they take up your time — collecting project type, timeline, location, and budget range — so when you follow up, you're only talking to people who are worth your time.
Haven City Digital's AI isn't a generic answering service. It's configured specifically for your contracting business: your services, your service area, what jobs you want, and how you want leads screened. It sounds professional, knowledgeable, and engaged — representing your brand the way your best salesperson would.
Whether it's a kitchen remodel lead at 8 AM or a deck inquiry at 8 PM, your AI picks up immediately and greets callers using your company name. No more missed calls, no more voicemails that never get returned, no more "we tried to call back and you didn't answer" — just a professional, responsive first impression every single time.
Your AI collects the information that determines whether a lead is worth your time: what project they're planning, where they're located, their target start date, and a rough budget expectation. Serious buyers get booked for a consultation. Early-stage browsers get invited to call back when they're ready. You spend your follow-up time on leads that can actually convert.
When a qualified lead is ready to schedule, your AI checks your real-time availability and books the in-home estimate or phone consultation directly to your calendar. The homeowner gets a confirmation text; you get a calendar event with all their project details. No back-and-forth phone tag, no double-bookings, no missed appointments.
In the Portland home improvement market, Google reviews are the single biggest factor in which contractor a homeowner calls first. Your AI system automatically sends review request texts to customers after job completion — dramatically increasing the rate of Google reviews you receive and building the kind of online reputation that generates inbound calls on autopilot.
We handle all the configuration, training, and testing. You focus on what you do best: building.
We spend 30 minutes with you learning your services (kitchens, baths, decks, additions, etc.), your service area in the Portland metro, the type of jobs you want, and how you prefer to receive leads. We also ask how you want the AI to handle different types of callers — so it filters, qualifies, and routes exactly the way you would.
We write your call scripts, train the AI voice on your specific services and terminology, connect it to your scheduling calendar, and run test calls to make sure it sounds natural and captures exactly the right information. You review the call experience and approve before anything goes live.
Your AI goes live and starts capturing every inbound call. You get instant text notifications for every lead, full call transcripts, and automatic calendar invites for booked estimates. Most home improvement contractors start seeing their estimate calendar fill up within the first week.
Plans are flat monthly rates starting at $397. The average home improvement project in Portland is worth $10,000–$40,000. One lead captured that would have otherwise been missed pays for months of service.
Your phone answered in three rings, 24/7/365, on the number already on your truck. We take the name, callback number, address and what's wrong, book the job onto your calendar while the customer is still on the line, and text you inside 60 seconds with a link to the recording. Emergencies ring your cell directly. Answers in English or Spanish. Every call recorded and transcribed, robocalls screened out, and we write and retune the script for you. Month-to-month, or about 5% off on a 6-month agreement and about 10% off on 12 months, where the standard setup fee is waived. 300 talk minutes a month included; past that it’s $0.35 a minute, or add 300 minutes for $99 a month.
Every part of the phone system above, and on top of it a custom five-page website included in the plan — hosting, SSL, domain and routine same-day edits handled, live in about 10 business days, with half of the website portion of every payment earning credit toward owning it outright. Your Google Business Profile gets touched every week with a fresh post, new photos and your hours checked. Review requests go out by text the day after every job, and we write the reply to every review within 24 hours. Your name, address and phone get corrected across 30+ directories. One plain-English page of results each month. Month-to-month, or about 5% off on 6 months and about 10% off on 12 months with the standard setup fee waived. 300 talk minutes a month included.
The full phone system stepped up to Front Desk Pro — web leads called back inside 60 seconds while they're still at the computer, jobs written straight into your software, and up to three scripted call flows — plus the website and the complete Local Growth SEO push: listings fixed across the web, Google Maps and competitor tracking, and a real page every month for a city or service you want more of. Call tracking so you know which calls came from Google and which came from the truck wrap, a strategy review every quarter, and a direct line when you need it. Limited to 3 clients at a time. 600 talk minutes a month included.
Founding-client pricing locked for 24 months. Only minutes you actually use are ever billed past your allowance, and month-to-month is always available on Front Desk.
Start My Free DemoYes. The AI is trained on your specific services, your service area, and what information you need before running an estimate. It collects project type, location, timeline, and budget — and books the consultation. It sounds natural and professional, not like an automated system.
For complex project inquiries, the AI captures all the details and lets the caller know you'll follow up personally to walk through the scope. You get a full transcript and all their contact info — so when you call back, you're already prepared to have a real conversation about their project, not starting from zero.
Large contractors have dedicated office staff answering phones all day. Your AI gives you that same always-on, professional presence without the payroll cost. When a homeowner calls three contractors, whoever answers first makes the strongest impression — and your AI answers within two rings, every time.
Yes. The Professional and Growth plans include automated review request texts sent to customers after job completion. Google reviews are one of the most powerful lead generation tools for Portland contractors — more reviews means higher ranking, more calls, and more jobs.

Built for How Home Improvement Businesses Actually Take Calls
General contractors and specialty trades across Portland, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, and Hillsboro share one bottleneck: the phone rings while you are on a job. Here is how an AI receptionist is set up to cover it:
Kitchen & Bathroom Remodelers
Kitchen and bath remodels are among the highest-value residential projects in the Portland market — typically $20,000–$80,000. Homeowners shopping for a remodeler are making a significant investment decision and expect responsiveness. An AI receptionist that answers immediately, sounds professional, and books the in-home consultation while the homeowner is still motivated dramatically increases show-up rates and conversion.
General Contractors & Handyman Services
GCs managing multiple projects at once are often the hardest to reach during business hours. An AI receptionist that acts as your always-available front desk — answering calls, screening project scope, and scheduling estimates — lets you operate like a larger company without the overhead. Homeowners call once and get through; they don't have to track you down across job sites.
Specialty Trades: Flooring, Painting, Decks & More
Specialty contractors — flooring installers, painters, deck builders, window replacement companies — often compete in markets where Google reviews and fast response time decide who wins the job. Your AI receptionist captures every inbound call 24/7, books estimates automatically, and triggers review requests after every job — building the kind of online reputation that generates leads without paid advertising.
