average remodel estimate you lose to a single missed call
You're framing a bathroom addition. Your phone rings twice — one's a kitchen remodel lead, the other needs a deck estimate. That's $15,000+ in project value that just called someone else. Claudessa costs $29/mo.
No forms. No setup wizard. We learn your contracting business the old-fashioned way — by talking to you.
Name, phone, email. No credit card. Your 2-month free trial starts immediately.
Claudessa calls you and learns the details: what types of work do you take? Residential, commercial, or both? Remodels, additions, new construction? Do you do kitchens and baths? What's your minimum project size? Service area? Licensing? Everything a receptionist needs — from a real conversation.
Homeowner wants a deck estimate? Claudessa qualifies the project, confirms it's in your wheelhouse, and books the estimate appointment. Someone calls about work you don't do? Claudessa politely declines instead of wasting your time. You only hear about real opportunities.
Not every call is a good lead. Claudessa asks the right qualifying questions: What kind of project? Residential or commercial? What's the timeline? What's the budget range? Where's the property? If it doesn't match your business — wrong area, too small, a type of work you don't do — Claudessa handles it politely. You only get calls worth your time.

Do you take bathroom remodels under 100 sq ft? What about commercial tenant improvements? Is there a minimum project size? Do you carry general liability and workers' comp? What's your lead time right now? Claudessa knows all of this — because we had a real conversation with you about your business. When a homeowner calls about a kitchen remodel, Claudessa can tell them you specialize in kitchens, your typical timeline is 6-8 weeks, and your next available estimate slot is Thursday at 2 PM.
Homeowner is ready to talk about their project. Claudessa checks your calendar, finds an open slot, books the estimate, and confirms the address — while the caller is still on the phone. That homeowner isn't going to call two more contractors for estimates. You got there first.
Week one, a caller asks about ADU construction permits and Claudessa hasn't learned that topic yet. It takes a detailed message, flags the knowledge gap, and covers it in your next sync call. By month 3, Claudessa confidently discusses your approach to kitchen remodels, timelines for bathroom renovations, and how your estimate process works.
