What is the best AI answering service for contractors?

Updated 2026-11-11 · FD24 AI by FrontDesk24

For contractors, the right AI answering service is one that picks up while you are on a job, books estimates straight onto your calendar, and flags urgent calls like leaks or storm damage. FD24 AI does all three, from $39 a month: it answers 24/7, books the job types you set, such as estimates and visits, onto your Google Calendar on paid plans, inside the hours and service area you set, and marks a message urgent when the caller says it is.

What contractors get

  • Calendar booking for trades. You set the job types, booking hours and home ZIP; the agent books those job types, such as estimates, repair visits or walkthroughs, onto your Google Calendar. Calendar booking works on paid plans only: on the free trial the agent takes the request but does not write to the calendar. Calendar connection is set up with our team.
  • Urgent jobs stand out. When a caller says it is urgent, the message you get is marked URGENT.
  • Your business, in its words. Service area, licensing, warranty and policies. The agent can draft these from your website for you to review.
  • Take the call yourself. The agent offers callers a transfer to your phone, and the iPhone app lets you watch a call live and tap Take this call.
  • No quotes over the phone by default: the agent says someone will call back with a price. If you have fixed prices, such as a call-out fee, you can switch on a price list and it reads those exactly.

Questions

Common questions

Can it give callers a price?

Not by default: it tells the caller someone will get back to them with a price. You can switch on a short list of fixed prices, such as a call-out fee, and it reads only those, exactly as listed. A common choice is to set up an estimate as a job type and have it book that instead.

Which calendars does it book on?

Google Calendar, for trades businesses, on paid plans. Our team connects the calendar; you control the hours, job types and service area. On the free trial the agent takes the request but does not write to the calendar.
