A phone system that knows whether the caller is a new kitchen or week three of one.
A remodeling firm has a sales side and a production side, and they should not share a voicemail. The system routes a new consultation request to whoever sells, a mid-project question to the project manager, and the tile supplier to the site, and keeps every conversation on the job it belongs to.
Two kinds of callers, three kinds of staff, and a job that generates a hundred messages
During a six-week bathroom the homeowner texts the project manager about the vanity delivery, the electrician calls about the inspection time, the countertop templater needs a window, and the supplier's driver is lost. Meanwhile the owner is trying to sell the next kitchen. If all of that runs through two personal cell phones, the record of what was agreed lives in those phones, and the day a project manager leaves, so does the history of every active job.
The sales side has its own needs. A remodeling lead can come from a yard sign on a job that ran well, a home show, a design platform, a realtor or the website, and the firm should know which. A tracking number per source, all ringing the same people, tells you which channel produced the contracts and which produced the tire kickers.
Then the record. Remodeling disputes are about what was said: whether the homeowner approved the extra outlets, what the PM promised about the start date. Calls recorded with consent where the law allows, transcribed and attached to the job, end most of those conversations in a minute.
What a remodeling phone system has to do
Routing first, then texting, then the record.
Route by who is calling
Known clients on an active job ring the project manager, new numbers ring sales and then the AI receptionist, subs and suppliers reach the site lead, and after hours everything goes to the receptionist with the on-call rule you set.
Give every project a thread the office can see
The homeowner, the PM and the office share one text conversation per job from the business number. Photos of the tile, the approval of the paint color and the delivery time all live where the next person can find them.
Keep the sales conversations with the firm
The designer and the salesperson call and text from an app on their phones that shows the company number, so when someone leaves, the open proposals and the homeowners they were talking to stay.
Track the source of each lead
A number for the website, the Business Profile, yard signs, the home show booth and each ad, forwarding to the same ring group, with the source written on the lead in the CRM.
Record with consent and attach to the job
Where your state permits it and callers are told, calls are recorded and transcribed and sit on the job record, searchable by what was said about a change or a date.
What we set up for a remodeling firm
Numbers in your own carrier account, in the firm's name, registered for texting, with our access removable in a minute.
Porting without a gap
We port your existing number, test the routing before the cutover and leave the old service running until every call lands where it should, including the showroom desk phone if you have one.
Ring groups for sales, production and after hours
Separate ring orders for new leads, active clients and subs, with different rules evenings and weekends, so the PM is not answering sales calls at dinner and the designer is not fielding delivery questions.
Job threads in the CRM
Every call and text attaches to the job or the lead automatically, so the daily log, the client portal and the phone record tell the same story.
Registered business texting
The firm's numbers registered with the carriers so the daily update, the selection reminder and the review request deliver, with opt-outs handled on their own.
Voicemail to text and a missed-call reply
A missed call from a new number gets an immediate text asking about the project and offering the consultation form; voicemails arrive as text on the right person's phone.
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.
- Domain, hosting and the site files
- Phone numbers and call recordings
- The CRM and its database
- Email and text lists, with consent records
- Google Business Profile and every listing
- Analytics and Search Console
Business Phone for remodeling, answered.
Can the project manager keep using his own cell?
Yes, through the app, which shows the business number and logs the call or text on the job. The personal number stays private and the conversation stays with the firm.
Should the showroom have a desk phone?
If someone sits there, a desk phone that rings the showroom first and then the sales group works well. Everyone else runs on the mobile app and a browser.
Is recording client calls legal?
It depends on where you are. Some states require every party's consent and others one party's, and callers should be told either way. We configure the announcement and the recording behavior to match your state; our state guides list each state's rule.
Is this different from giving each PM a Google Voice number?
A free Google Voice number sits in the PM's own Google account and goes where the PM goes. A remodeling firm needs routing by caller, shared job threads, source tracking, registered texting and records on the job, in an account the firm owns.
