FOR CONTRACTORS AND HOME-SERVICE OPERATORS

Stop losing leads at 8 PM. Hire Leif as your after-hours front desk.

Leif is a hand-delivered AI employee for contractors and home-service operators. The Leif team pre-trains it on your estimate format, your job-site photos, your insurance documents, and your shop voice. Every morning Leif drafts the next inbound lead reply, the next quiet-estimate follow-up, and the next certificate of insurance (COI) chase. You read, edit, approve, then ship before the morning drive to the job site.

Where the contractor day leaks

The 8:14 PM inquiry on a Sunday night.

A homeowner from a 1,800 sq ft colonial in Maplewood emails about paver repair on a Sunday at 8:14 PM. You read the email at 9:30 PM, decide to reply tomorrow morning, forget at 6:30 AM, and remember at 11 AM when the lead has gone cold. Most home-service inbounds land after hours. A 2011 MIT study on lead response (Oldroyd, McElheran, Elkington) found that response speed dramatically increases the odds of qualifying the lead. Same dynamic, fifteen years later: the first contractor to reply usually wins the job.

The estimate that goes quiet on Friday.

You sent a paver estimate for a $14,200 driveway job on Tuesday. The homeowner replied Wednesday with "let me check with my husband." It is now Friday and you have not followed up. The job is one missed follow-up away from going to the next contractor in the homeowner's search history.

The commercial COI chase that sits in the agent's queue.

A commercial property manager needs a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before approving the paver-repair purchase order. You emailed your insurance agent on Monday. The agent has not replied. You have not sent a follow-up. The job sits at $0 booked while the COI sits in the agent's queue.

Three queues Leif can run in week one

Queue 1

Inbound lead intake queue.

Leif drafts the first reply to inbound leads, asks for the address, scope, photos, timing, and service type, and proposes a callback slot. Example: a draft reply to the Maplewood paver inquiry, citing your standard 1,800 sq ft colonial estimate format and a Monday 9 AM callback slot, queued for owner approval by 7 AM.

Queue 2

Estimate follow-up queue.

Leif drafts follow-up nudges on quiet estimates with a concrete reason (the spring paver inventory window closes April 30) and queues for owner approval. Example: a follow-up draft on the $14,200 driveway estimate, citing the spring inventory window and offering a Wednesday site visit, ready in your morning queue.

Queue 3

COI chase queue.

Leif drafts the COI chase emails to insurance agents on commercial jobs and surfaces the chase status on the owner's morning queue. Example: a follow-up draft to the commercial paver job's insurance agent, queued for owner approval before the morning drive to the job site.

Pricing is $500 per seat per month base. $2,500 per seat per month with Tavus voice + face employee. See full pricing.

What contractors ask first

"I already use Jobber."

Leif works with Jobber, not against. OAuth-connect Jobber; Leif drafts replies in front of Jobber, captures the qualifying details (zip, sqft, year built), and books the visit into your Jobber calendar when you approve. Jobber stays. Leif is the operator inside your stack.

"Isn't this just a feature in my CRM?"

Some CRMs ship light material-list helpers. They do not read your inbox, draft replies in your shop voice, or own the after-hours response loop. Leif is a single owner-approved AI employee, not a marketplace of bespoke automations.

"Why do you need the year built on the house?"

Pre-1978 housing pressure-washing or paver work triggers Massachusetts Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) lead-safe rules. Leif flags the exposure before you drive out so the bid carries the lead-safe surcharge or you pass on the job.

"I am too small for this."

The ideal customer is $500K to $3M in revenue. You are exactly the size where the after-hours lead and the COI chase cost you real money. Leif is built for the 1 to 10 person shop where the owner still owns the sales phone.

FOR HVAC OPERATORS SPECIFICALLY

HVAC dispatch and after-hours service calls

HVAC operators carry the same after-hours lead pressure as paver and exterior contractors, with two extra cost surfaces: the no-heat service call that books at 9 PM in January, and the maintenance-plan renewal that lapses because nobody owns the conversation. Leif drafts the dispatch reply, the maintenance-plan renewal nudge, and the seasonal tune-up schedule for owner approval before the morning truck-roll.

The no-heat call at 9:42 PM in January.

A homeowner calls about no heat on a Tuesday at 9:42 PM. Your voicemail picks up. The homeowner texts the next HVAC shop on their list at 9:44 PM. By morning the job is booked with the competitor. Leif drafts a dispatch reply inside two minutes that captures the address, system age, and a Wednesday 7 AM service slot for your approval.

The maintenance plan that lapses on the third year.

Three-year maintenance plans drift to expired because nobody runs the renewal conversation 30 days out. Leif drafts the renewal nudge with the system age, prior tune-up dates, and proposed renewal slot, queued for owner approval before the renewal window closes.

"We already use ServiceTitan or FieldEdge."

Leif works with your field-service platform, not against. OAuth-connect the platform; Leif reads the dispatch board, drafts the reply, and books the slot into the platform calendar when you approve. The platform stays.

"Can it handle refrigerant and EPA disclosures?"

Leif drafts the customer-facing reply. The refrigerant line and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Section 608 disclosure stay in your shop voice and your owner approval gate. Leif does not draft refrigerant handling instructions; it drafts the customer conversation around the service call.
