For window & door contractors
The AI receptionist for window & door contractors
It’s the first drafty week of fall, and a homeowner finally gets fed up with the forty-year-old windows. They request quotes from three companies after dinner. The one that answers that night — with real questions, not an auto-reply — is the one that gets the in-home visit.
Plinth answers in seconds — evenings and weekends included — books the in-home estimate 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

Answered
- We need all our windows replaced — where do we start?
- You’re in the right place — the first step is an in-home estimate to measure and walk through options. 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
A whole-house window job is won at hello
Window and door buyers are comparison shoppers — they contact several companies in one sitting, and the first credible response anchors the whole decision. On a five-figure whole-house job, being second to reply is expensive. Plinth answers the moment the inquiry lands, asks what they’re replacing and why, and books the in-home estimate before the competition opens their inbox.
What it handles for a window & door business
- In-home estimate requests — booked onto your real calendar with a confirmation the homeowner can hold onto
- Single-repair vs whole-house scoping — the right questions up front, so you arrive knowing the job
- Material and brand questions — vinyl, wood, fiberglass — answered from what you actually carry
- Energy-efficiency questions — answered from the details you set, with specifics saved for the visit
- Patio doors, entry doors, and specialty work — from your actual service list
- Quotes that went quiet — window decisions stall for weeks; a polite follow-up keeps you in the running without chasing

What it says when a homeowner texts you
Ballpark cost for about 15 windows?
It depends on sizes and what you pick, so we don’t quote sight-unseen — the estimate is how you get an honest number. Want me to set one up this week?
Do you install sliding patio doors?
We do — that’s right in our wheelhouse. I can set up an in-home estimate. 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.

Reviews that compound

Straight answers
Questions window and door companies ask
How will it know how to answer window and door questions?
You teach it your business in minutes — and it never makes anything up. In setup you give it your products and services (window lines, doors, materials you carry), your service area, and hours — you can even import them straight from your website. It answers from your facts and books the estimate for anything it shouldn’t answer.
My leads compare three or four companies — does answering first really matter?
It’s most of the game. The first credible response sets the anchor — and it’s usually the company that gets the first in-home visit. Plinth makes you first every time, then follows up politely over the weeks the decision takes.
Will it quote window or door prices?
Never a number you didn’t approve. Its job is to book the in-home estimate 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?
The same thing under three names — an AI one, not a person on a shift. For window and door companies the measure that counts is whether it reaches a measure appointment. Answering is the easy half; asking how many openings, whether it’s replacement or new construction, and getting it on the calendar is the half that turns a call into a sale.
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.
