ai call answering for home service companies

the calls you miss
are the jobs you lose.

Most home service shops miss 20 to 30 percent of inbound calls — nights, weekends, and every time the line's tied up on a job. Doheny AI answers every one, 24/7, qualifies the caller, and books the job straight to your calendar. The lead never rolls to the next shop on the list.

the math

A missed call isn't a missed call. It's a booked job at the shop down the road.

Run your own numbers. Most owners are stunned by what's walking out the door every month — and it's almost always more than the cost of fixing it. Change any figure to match your shop.

how it works

Live on your line in days. Not a six-week IT project.

  1. 1
    Day 1

    We map your calls

    A 20-minute call to learn how you book jobs, your service area, your hours, and what a good lead sounds like. No deck, just questions.

  2. 2
    Days 2–3

    We build and train your agent

    Your services, your pricing logic, your tone, your booking rules — and a clean handoff to a human the moment a call needs one.

  3. 3
    Day 4

    Go live

    We forward your existing number — same line your customers already call. It answers on the first or second ring, every time.

  4. 4
    Ongoing

    You watch the bookings land

    Every call answered, logged, and transcribed. Qualified jobs hit your calendar. You review what came in — we tune it as you go.

what it handles

Built for the call your front office can't always get to.

Not a generic chatbot. A voice agent trained on your shop, doing the parts of the phone that cost you jobs when nobody picks up.

Missed-call recovery

Every call that would've gone to voicemail gets answered live and qualified instead — before the caller dials the next shop.

After-hours coverage

Nights, weekends, holidays. The emergency AC call at 9pm gets booked instead of lost — without paying for an overnight answering service.

Lead qualification

Asks the questions you'd ask — service needed, address, urgency — so what hits your calendar is a real job, not a tire-kicker.

Booked to your calendar

Qualified jobs land on the calendar you already use, with the caller's details attached. You wake up to booked work, not missed-call alerts.

A missed call, turned into a booked job.

Caller · 9:42 PM
Hi, my AC just quit and it's still 95 in the house. Are you guys open?
Doheny AI
I can get a technician out for that. Is the unit not turning on at all, or running but not cooling?
Caller
Running but blowing warm air.
Doheny AI
Got it. What's the service address, and is someone home tonight or is the morning better?
Caller
1420 East Vine. Morning's better, we're heading to bed.
Doheny AI
Done — AC diagnostic tomorrow at 8 AM, 1420 East Vine. I'm texting you a confirmation now. We'll see you then.
Booked: AC diagnostic · tomorrow 8:00 AM — added to your calendar, customer texted a confirmation.

An after-hours call your team never had to wake up for. Want to hear the real thing? We'll play a live call on the demo.

questions owners ask

The things you're already wondering.

No. On the demo you'll hear it for yourself before you decide anything. It speaks naturally, handles interruptions, and hands off to a person the moment a call goes beyond what it should handle. If it doesn't sound right, you don't sign.
Nothing changes for your customers. You keep your number. We forward it so the agent answers when you can't — overflow, after hours, or every call if you want it. You stay in control of when it picks up.
It takes the caller's details and books a callback, or routes straight to you for anything urgent. The handoff rules are set during the build, around how your shop actually runs. It never leaves a caller stranded.
Days, not weeks. One short call to map how you book jobs, a couple of days to build and train it, then we forward your line. Most shops are answering calls with it inside a week of the demo.
The first five shops pay $0 setup and get 30 days free, then $297/mo plus usage. Standard pricing is $2,500 setup and $697/mo, everything included. Either way, it's a fraction of what one missed job a week is worth.
