For remodeling contractors
The AI receptionist for remodeling contractors
A couple finally agrees on the kitchen at 9:30 p.m. and sends inquiries to three remodelers before bed. By morning, one of the three has already replied, asked smart questions, and offered a consultation time. That’s the one that feels like the pro — and it wasn’t luck.
Plinth answers in seconds — evenings and weekends included — books the consultation on your calendar, collects the payment, and asks for the Google review the moment it’s paid.
Set up in minutes. No new software for your crew to learn.
Example conversation
New text · your remodeling line
Answered
- We’re thinking about redoing our kitchen — where do we start?
- You’re in the right place — the first step is a consultation to walk the space and talk through what you’re picturing. What day works for you?
Answers from your own services, hours, and service area — and hands the thread to you the moment it’s unsure.
Why answering first wins
Remodel leads don’t panic — they compare
Nobody’s kitchen is flooding, so the win isn’t triage — it’s impression. A five-figure remodel goes to the contractor who seems most on top of it, and the first credible response sets that bar. Plinth replies in seconds with the right questions, books the consultation, and follows up politely over the weeks a remodel decision actually takes — so you stay in the running without chasing.
What it handles for a remodeling business
- Consultation requests — kitchens, baths, basements, additions — booked onto your real calendar with a confirmation
- Scope questions asked up front, so you walk into the consult knowing what they’re picturing
- Budget conversations handled honestly — it never quotes a number you didn’t approve, and shares only the ranges you wrote
- “How long does a kitchen take?” — answered from your facts, with the real timeline saved for the consult
- The credibility questions — licensed and insured, service area, how the process works
- The long game — polite follow-ups on quotes that went quiet, because remodel decisions take weeks, not days

What it says when a homeowner texts you
What does a bathroom remodel usually cost?
Every bathroom’s different, so we don’t quote sight-unseen — the consultation is how you get an honest number. Want me to set one up this week?
Do you handle basement finishing?
We do — that’s right in our wheelhouse. I can set up a consultation to look at the space. Does a weekday evening or a weekend work better?
Example responses, shown for the demo. The live assistant answers from your real services, hours, and service area — and books the visit on your actual calendar. It never quotes a price you didn’t approve.

Straight answers
Questions remodelers ask
How will it know how to answer remodeling questions?
You teach it your business in minutes — and it never makes anything up. In setup you give it your services (kitchens, baths, basements, additions), your service area, and how your process works — you can even import them straight from your website. It answers from your facts and books the consultation for anything it shouldn’t answer.
My leads take weeks to decide — does instant answering even matter?
More than anywhere else — because the first credible response is the first impression. Comparison shoppers judge you by how you handle their very first message. Plinth answers it in seconds, then keeps the thread warm with polite follow-ups over the weeks the decision takes — so the slow no-shows don’t fall through the cracks.
Will it quote project prices?
Never a number you didn’t approve. Its job is to book the consultation and leave the pricing to you. If you choose to share rough ranges, it relays only the ranges you wrote — never a firm quote.
I already use ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber — does this replace them?
No — keep them. They run the work once it’s sold; Plinth wins the customer in the first place. Those tools have added AI answering of their own by now, and it is decent — so the honest difference is scope and cost, not quality. They run the work once it’s sold. Plinth does four things around it: answers the lead, books it, collects the payment, and turns the finished job into the Google review that wins the next one — and its share applies only to jobs it wins you. Different jobs, so they run side by side with nothing for your crew to learn.
Is this an AI assistant, an AI receptionist, or a virtual receptionist?
Interchangeable words — and Plinth’s is AI rather than a remote person. The distinction worth caring about is depth. An AI assistant for remodelers that answers and stops has done a tenth of the job. A remodel inquiry needs qualifying — scope, rough timeline, whether they own the place — and then a consultation on the calendar. That qualifying is the part this does.
What does it cost?
$50/month as a minimum, or a small share of the jobs Plinth causes if that’s more — never both. The share is charged only once the job is paid. If we don’t make you money, we don’t make real money. See how pricing works at joinplinth.com/pricing.
