The short answerUpdated June 27, 2026

Leap is an AI phone receptionist for general contractors and remodelers. It answers project, estimate, and existing-job calls in a natural voice, captures the scope and property details you need to qualify a lead, and texts back missed callers. It keeps your existing number and goes live in five minutes.

  • 5 min. Leap goes live in about five minutes: paste your website, review your services, and forward your number.

  • 24/7. Leap answers after hours and on weekends, when homeowners research contractors for a remodel or addition.

  • 2+ calls. Leap answers two or more calls at once, so a new project lead never hits a busy tone while you are on a site.

  • 94%. Leap handles routine project and scheduling calls on its own and pages a human only for what genuinely needs one.

    Leap, across live customer calls

  • Every call. Every call leaves a recording, transcript, and summary with the project scope and address, so no lead goes unlogged.

  • $149/mo. A Leap receptionist captures high-value project calls at a fraction of what a live answering service charges.

Why general contractors miss the project calls that matter most

You are on a job site all day, managing a crew, a schedule, and a supplier who is late again. No one is in an office answering the phone. When a homeowner calls about a kitchen remodel or a basement build-out, that is a five-figure project, and they call two or three contractors. A missed call is a job that goes to whoever picked up.

The phone is also full of people you do need to reach: a sub confirming Tuesday, a supplier with a delivery question, a current client asking about the punch list. All of it hits voicemail while you are framing a wall, and you spend your evening calling everyone back instead of catching the new project lead while it is hot.

  • Remodel and project inquiries

    Leap captures the project type, scope, address, and budget range so you can qualify a remodel lead and book a consultation without phone tag.

  • Estimate and consultation requests

    Leap collects the details you need to scope a job and routes high-value estimate requests so they reach you fast instead of sitting in voicemail.

  • Existing-project and client calls

    Leap answers current-client questions about schedule and status, captures what they need, and routes it so active jobs do not stall.

  • Subcontractor and supplier calls

    Leap takes messages from subs and suppliers, captures the detail, and texts it to you so coordination calls do not get buried.

What does an AI receptionist do for a general contractor?

An AI receptionist answers your business phone in a natural voice and captures the project a missed call would otherwise lose. Leap greets callers as your business, answers questions from a knowledge base built out of your own website, qualifies new project leads with the details you need, and texts back anyone who hangs up without leaving a message.

There are no menus and no hold music. A homeowner describes an addition they want built, Leap answers what it knows about your services and captures the scope so you can decide whether to bid. You leave the site to a clean list of who called and which leads are worth a callback tonight.

Keep your number and never lose a five-figure lead

You keep your existing business number. Calls forward to Leap when you are on site: every call, after hours only, or only on overflow and missed calls. Change it anytime.

You decide what reaches you live. A high-value project lead can be flagged or transferred on your rules, while routine sub and supplier calls get captured and summarized. You walk off the site to a list of qualified leads instead of a full voicemail box.

How it works

  1. 01

    Paste your company website.

    Leap reads your site and builds a knowledge base of your services, project types, and the areas you cover.

  2. 02

    Review what it learned.

    Every service and policy is a card. Add your project types, set your service area, and decide how new project leads get routed.

  3. 03

    Forward your number and go live.

    Keep your current number. The next remodel call gets answered, qualified, and summarized while you stay on the job.

Frequently asked questions

Can Leap qualify a new project lead?

Yes. Leap captures the project type, scope, address, timeline, and budget range, then texts it to you with a summary. You get enough to decide whether a remodel or build-out is worth a consultation before you ever call back.

Will Leap handle calls from subs and suppliers too?

Yes. Leap takes messages from subcontractors and suppliers, captures the detail, and texts it to you. Coordination calls stay organized in your inbox instead of piling up in a voicemail box you check at night.

Does Leap know our services and project types?

Leap pulls your services and project types from your website into its knowledge base, and you can correct any of it in one tap. It answers what it knows and takes a callback for anything it is unsure about rather than guessing.

Can a high-value lead reach me live while routine calls are handled?

Yes. You set the rules. A qualified project lead can be flagged or transferred to you, while sub, supplier, and routine calls get captured and summarized. You decide what is worth interrupting your day for.

Can I run Leap only after hours or on overflow?

Yes. Run Leap on every call, after hours only, or only when your line is busy or unanswered. You set it per day and per hour, and you can change it anytime.

Will it keep my existing business phone number?

Yes. You keep your number and forward calls to Leap when you want it to answer. Calls are forwarded, never ported, so nothing about your line changes.

How long does setup take?

About five minutes. Paste your website, review the knowledge base Leap built, and forward your number. Most contractors set it up on a phone from the truck.

What do I see after each call?

Every call leaves a recording, a full transcript, and a short summary with the project scope, the address, and the follow-up needed, all searchable in your inbox. No lead falls through.

How much does an AI receptionist for a general contractor cost?

Leap's founding rate is $149 a month and includes the first 100 calls answered, then $0.99 per additional call. No setup fee and no contract, versus the $150 to $400 a month a live answering service typically charges.

Does it sound like a robot?

No. Leap uses a natural voice that answers in one ring, with no menus and no hold music. Callers talk normally, and Leap answers in your business's name.

What happens when Leap doesn't know an answer?

It tells the caller honestly, takes their name and number, and files the question for you. You answer it once and Leap knows it next time, so coverage improves every week.
