Solution
Answer every quote request call before the competition does.
A caller who wants a quote is ready to hire. Leap answers the call, asks the qualifying questions, and logs the job details so you can respond with an estimate instead of an apology.
Answering a quote request call fast is the single biggest factor in winning the job. Leap picks up every inbound call, asks about the project, captures the caller's contact details and job description, and sends you a clean lead summary. No voicemail, no missed bids.
First answer. In competitive service markets, the first contractor to answer a quote call typically wins the job over those who call back later.
Every call. Leap answers every inbound call 24 hours a day, so no quote request goes to voicemail while you are on a job.
Job details. Leap asks your qualifying questions, job type, location, size, and timeline, and logs every answer for you.
Logged. Each quote call becomes a structured lead in your inbox with the caller's number, name, and project description.
5 min. Leap goes live on your existing number in about five minutes, with no hardware and no technical setup required.
What is a quote request call?
A quote request call is an inbound call from a potential customer who wants a price estimate for a job. These callers are not browsing, they have a specific project in mind and are ready to hire the right business. The call is the moment they are most likely to convert.
For service businesses, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, and dozens of others, quote calls are the primary way new jobs enter the pipeline. Missing one means missing the bid entirely, because callers rarely wait and rarely try twice.
Why do most service businesses lose quote calls they never see?
The problem is not that contractors ignore leads. It is that quote calls arrive at the worst moments: mid-job, on a ladder, under a sink. The phone rings, nobody answers, and the caller dials the next number on the list.
Voicemail does not help here. A caller who wants a quote wants to talk to someone or at least get a fast response. A recording prompting them to leave a message signals that your business is harder to work with than a competitor who picked up.
How Leap turns every quote call into a structured lead
Leap answers the call in your business's name, acknowledges that the caller wants a quote, and walks through the qualifying questions you define: project type, address, size, preferred timeline, and contact details. Every answer is captured and filed.
The lead summary lands in your inbox within seconds. You see what the caller needs before you call them back, so the follow-up call starts informed instead of starting from scratch.

Frequently asked questions
What is a quote request answering service?
It is a service that answers inbound calls from callers who want a price estimate, collects the project details, and files the lead so you can follow up. Leap handles this automatically with an AI receptionist that answers every call in your business's name.
What questions does Leap ask on a quote call?
Leap asks the questions you define during setup: project type, location, property size, desired timeline, and the caller's contact details. You set the script; Leap delivers it consistently on every call.
What happens to the quote lead after Leap answers the call?
Leap files a structured lead in your inbox with the caller's name, number, and project details. You also get a recording and a transcript. The summary arrives within seconds of the call ending.
Does Leap work on my existing business number?
Yes. You forward your existing line to Leap and keep your number. Callers dial the number they already have for you, and Leap answers on your behalf.
Does it handle quote calls after hours?
Yes. Leap answers every call around the clock. A Saturday morning quote request from a homeowner who just noticed a roof problem gets answered the same way as a Monday afternoon call.
Can Leap give the caller an actual price on the call?
Leap can share price ranges or starting prices if you add that information to your knowledge base. For jobs that require a site visit, Leap collects the details and books the estimate appointment instead.
What if Leap does not know the answer to a caller's question?
Leap tells the caller honestly that a team member will follow up with that detail, then logs the question along with the rest of the call so you have the full picture when you call back.
How is Leap different from a live answering service for quotes?
A live answering service charges per minute and uses a script with no context about your business. Leap answers from a knowledge base built from your actual website, handles multiple calls at once, and costs a flat monthly rate.
How much does Leap cost?
Leap's founding rate is $149 a month, which covers the first 100 calls answered, then $0.99 per additional call. No setup fee, no contract.
How long does it take to go live?
About five minutes. You enter your website URL, Leap builds a knowledge base from it, you set up call forwarding, and you are live. No hardware, no IT help, no waiting period.
What types of businesses use Leap for quote calls?
Any service business where new jobs begin with an inbound estimate request: roofing, plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, painting, pest control, junk removal, and similar trades.
