Running a home improvement business means juggling calls, estimates, and customers,all while trying to grow your bottom line. I just asked one of our contractors who recently told us the Hearth AI Receptionist has been a “game changer” for his business. Before using it, he was constantly missing calls while on job sites and spending hours each night returning voicemails. Now, his AI answers every call, books appointments automatically, and even follows up with leads from his marketing campaigns saving him hours every week and helping him close more jobs.
He’s not alone. In just three months since launch, Hearth’s AI Receptionist has booked over 6,200 jobs and helped contractors save more than 1,000 hours on the phone.

Smarter Calls, More Jobs
Running a home improvement business means always being on the move — bouncing between job sites, customers, and estimates. And if you’re getting 20+ calls a week, you know how hard it is to answer them all. Miss one call, and that could be a missed job.
That’s where Hearth’s AI Receptionist steps in. It answers every call 24/7, captures new leads, and books appointments automatically — so you can stay focused on the work that actually makes you money.
Customer Story: Trent in Austin, TX
For Trent Dougherty, an Austin-based contractor, keeping up with calls while managing active jobs was a daily challenge. He needed a reliable way to make sure no leads slipped through the cracks without hiring extra office staff.
“The receptionist is great, super happy with it… I love the call summary.”
With Hearth’s AI Receptionist, Trent finally got the coverage he needed. Every call is answered, every lead is captured, and he gets a clear summary of who called and what they needed, all without lifting a finger.
The result? Fewer missed jobs, a smoother workflow, and more time to focus on his crew and customers.
Trent calls the AI Receptionist a “game changer” for both his sales and marketing. It’s helped him capture more inbound leads, build a stronger brand image through fast and consistent responses, and save hours each week.
He’s part of a growing group of contractors seeing similar results — saving 20+ hours a month and closing more deals, all while their AI keeps the phone lines covered around the clock.
What’s Next for the AI Receptionist?
We’re building the next evolution of AI inside the Hearth platform. Soon, contractors will be able to:
- Access and manage everything from one place (Coming this October)
- Save new lead info directly from handled calls (Coming Soon)
- Respond to homeowners directly in-app with our new messaging center (Coming in the next several weeks)
This integration will make it even easier to manage calls, leads, and payments all under one roof.
