Every house wash call answered while your hands are on the wand.
A running pressure washer drowns out a ringtone, and wet gloves do not swipe a screen. The homeowner who gets your voicemail is already dialing the next listing. The AI receptionist answers in your company's name, gathers what you price from and holds the date.
The caller wants a number today, and you are on a ladder
Washing calls are not emergencies, which is exactly why they are easy to lose. Nobody waits for a callback about a green wall. They called because the realtor wants the exterior clean before Thursday's photos, or the HOA letter arrived, or the neighbor's driveway suddenly looks new. If you answer, you get the address and photos and send a price within the hour. If you do not, one of the other companies on the results page does. For a solo operator or a two-person crew, every call during working hours arrives while someone is spraying.
The calls also carry information a generic answering service will not collect. A house wash needs the stories and siding type. A driveway needs rough size and whether there are oil or rust stains. A roof needs the material and whether the streaks are on one slope or all of them. A commercial caller asking about a dumpster pad or a drive-thru lane needs a different conversation entirely, with a site walk and a recurring schedule. An AI receptionist written for your company asks those questions, in order, and writes the answers onto a lead you can price between jobs.
Then there are the rain calls. When a storm line rolls through, half your morning calls are customers asking whether you are still coming. A receptionist that knows the day's schedule and your rain policy can tell them, offer the new slot and confirm it by text, while you keep working on the one driveway that is still dry.
What the receptionist has to do on a washing call
The script is built around what you price from and what you get asked every day.
Collect the pricing details, not just a name
Address, home or business, stories, siding material, which surfaces, visible stains, and whether there is an outdoor spigot. All of it lands on the lead with a one-tap aerial link for you.
Send the photo request before the call ends
A text with a link for two or three photos of the dirty surfaces, so the pictures arrive while you are still on the job and the quote goes out the same afternoon.
Answer the damage questions in your words
Will it hurt the siding, what about the plants, is it safe on the roof, does the solution smell. The answers are the ones you give, approved line by line, and the receptionist never invents a price you did not set.
Hold a date, or book it outright
If you allow it, the receptionist books the job into open slots by neighborhood so the route stays tight. If you prefer to price first, it holds a tentative date and tells the caller the price comes by text today.
Handle rain-day calls from the schedule
It knows which day was washed out, states your rain policy, offers the rescheduled time and confirms by text, so you do not return eight calls that all ask the same thing.
Recognize the commercial caller
A property manager, store manager or HOA board member gets routed to you with a summary texted ahead, and the receptionist collects the property address, the surfaces and the frequency they have in mind.
How we set it up for a washing company
Your number stays the same, and the script comes from a conversation with you.
Forwarding that fits a crew on the road
Your line rings your phone first, then the receptionist after a set number of rings, or always during the hours you are running the machine. The number on the trailer never changes.
A script from your surfaces and your methods
We ask how you wash vinyl, brick, stucco, shingles and concrete, what you tell customers about oxidation and plant protection, and what your minimum job is. The script says what you say.
Optional ranges by home size
If you want callers to hear a range for a one-story or two-story house wash, we add your ranges. If you want every price to come from photos, the receptionist says so and collects them.
Season and weather settings
A winter greeting that takes early-bird spring requests in cold climates, a pollen-season greeting in the South, and a rain-day mode that reads from the day's moved schedule.
Every call on the lead
A transcript, a summary, the photos requested and the date held, all on the lead in your CRM, with a recording kept where state law permits it and the caller has been told.
What you own on day one.
Every account is opened in your company's name with you as the owner. If you ever leave, you change a password, not your business.

- Phone numbers and call recordings

AI Reception for pressure washing, answered.
Can it give a house wash price over the phone?
Only the ranges you approve, and only if you want it to. Or the receptionist collects the address and photos and you send the firm number by text yourself, which keeps pricing in your hands.
Will homeowners talk to it?
Most do, because it answers on the first ring, asks sensible questions and gets them a date. Anyone who asks for a person gets a text and a callback from you.
What does it do with a commercial inquiry?
It identifies the caller as a business, collects the property address, the surfaces and how often they want service, and hands the lead to you with a summary. You schedule the site walk.
We only run spring through fall. Is it worth it off-season?
In the off-season it takes early-bird requests and commercial calls while the rig is parked, so the first spring weeks are already booked. You can also pause it and resume in March.
Does the caller know it is automated?
Yes. It opens by saying it is the assistant for your company and that calls may be recorded where that applies. Some states require that disclosure, and we follow the stricter reading.
