AI receptionist for handyman
An AI receptionist built for handyman businesses.
Most handyman businesses are one or two people, and the phone rings mid-job. Leap takes the to-do list, tells callers what you do and don't take on, and sends you the request.
Leap is an AI phone receptionist for handyman businesses. It answers questions about the jobs you take, your minimums, and your area from the facts you approve, writes down the caller's task list, address, and timing, and texts you a summary. Callers who hang up before speaking get a text back.
Task list. Leap writes down each item on the caller's list, so you can price a half-day visit before you call back.
Your scope. Leap tells callers which jobs you take and which you refer out, from the list you approve.
Ring me first. Your phone rings first, and Leap answers only when you're busy or miss the call.
Text-back. Callers who hang up before speaking get a text back from your business.
What calls does a handyman get?
Handyman callers rarely have one job. They have a list, and the list decides whether it is a two-hour visit or a full day.
Small-job lists
Hang a TV, patch drywall, fix a sticking door, replace a faucet. Leap records each item and any materials the caller already has.
"Do you do this?"
Leap answers from your approved scope. If you refer out licensed electrical or plumbing work, Leap says so.
Urgent repairs
A leak under a sink, a door that won't lock. Leap marks these urgent and can text you mid-call.
Landlords and realtors
Move-out repairs and pre-listing punch lists. Leap records the property address and who will let you in.
What Leap asks a handyman caller
The address, each task in the caller's words, materials on hand, whether anyone will be home, any pets, and the preferred days. You can add an AI column for "Number of tasks" or "Landlord" so the inbox sorts the bigger jobs to the top.
A sample handyman call
With the default greeting, a caller hears: "Good afternoon. This is Ben from Fixed Right Handyman. How can I help?"
From your approved facts Leap can answer "Do you have a minimum?", "Do you mount TVs on brick?", and "Do you work in my town?". When a fact is missing, it says so and takes a message.
Which handyman calls go to you?
Pricing a job, anything with gas or main electrical, and repeat customers who want you personally. Leap takes those as messages. You can turn on live transfer to your cell during the hours you list as open; it tries once, then takes a callback.
Busy seasons and hours
Handyman demand usually picks up in spring and fall and before holidays, when people prep for guests. Landlord calls cluster around month-end move-outs. Most owners use Ring me first all day. For nights, forward every call by dialing the code at close, or use your carrier's scheduling.

Frequently asked questions
Can Leap take a handyman's to-do list over the phone?
Yes. It records each task in the caller's words, materials they already have, the address, and when they want it done, and texts you the list.
Will Leap tell callers what jobs I don't do?
Yes, from your approved scope. If you refer out licensed electrical or plumbing work, Leap says so and can give the referral you approve.
Does Leap quote handyman prices?
Only the minimums or rates you approve. Most handymen price after hearing the list, so Leap takes the request and you call back.
I work alone. How does Leap fit?
Use Ring me first on your cell. You answer when you can, and Leap picks up when you're on a ladder. You get a text summary after each answered call.
Can Leap book visits on my calendar?
With Google Calendar connected, Leap can book open slots directly. Without it, Leap takes a request and you confirm. It does not move or cancel existing jobs.
What about urgent repairs?
Leap marks them urgent and can text you during the call. If the caller describes a gas smell or someone hurt, Leap tells them to call emergency services now.
Can Leap handle property managers who send repeat work?
Each caller is saved as a contact, and the summary carries the property address and access details. You can write a routing rule so landlord calls go to a specific person.
Do I need a website?
No. Leap can build from your Google profile, and you add the rest on cards.
