You're on the ladder. Stakd answers the estimate call.

When a homeowner calls for a painting estimate, the AI voice agent answers on the first ring — even when you're mid-cut-line on a job site and can't grab your phone. It asks the right questions (interior or exterior, how many rooms or what's the square footage, occupied or vacant, desired timeline) and books a walkthrough straight onto your calendar. Most painting leads call two or three contractors and hire whoever responds first, so answering instead of going to voicemail is the difference between winning the job and never hearing from them again.

Yes. Most painters quote a job and then never follow up, so the homeowner forgets or books the first contractor who circles back. The AI automatically follows up by text and call on every quote you send — a polite nudge a day or two later, then again at the end of the week. It answers questions about the scope, sets up a callback if they want to talk through pricing, and flags hot prospects for you. A consistent follow-up sequence is often where painters recover the most revenue.

Yes. We train the AI on the exact services you offer — interior repaints, full exterior repaints, cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, popcorn ceiling removal, drywall repair, commercial work, whatever your shop does. It qualifies each caller by job type, gathers the details your estimator actually needs, and routes commercial property managers differently than a homeowner wanting one bedroom painted. You stop wasting walkthroughs on jobs that were never a fit.

Painting demand explodes the moment the weather turns — everyone wants their exterior done before fall and their interior done before the holidays. When you're booked solid with crews running and your phone ringing all day, that's exactly when estimate requests slip through the cracks. The AI handles unlimited calls and web chats at once, books every walkthrough, and keeps a clean pipeline of leads so a packed July doesn't turn into a dead October. No lead gets lost just because you were too busy to pick up.

We typically have painting companies live in days — every system is 100% custom-built for your specific business. We train the AI on your services, your typical price ranges, your service area, your hours, and how you like walkthroughs scheduled. You review and approve it, then we flip the switch. Most owners are surprised at how natural it sounds when they place a test call pretending to be a homeowner asking for a quote.

Then this matters even more. You're paying real money for every estimate request those ads and lead services generate. If that call rings out because your whole crew is taping off a house, you just paid for a lead and handed it to a competitor. The AI makes sure every paid call and form fill gets answered, qualified, and booked — protecting your ad spend and dropping your true cost per booked job.

Pricing is custom based on your call volume, the number of AI features you need, and the size of your operation. We don't publish one-size-fits-all pricing because a solo painter is a different build than a six-crew shop. Book a free demo and we'll put together a custom quote for your situation. With residential repaints commonly running $2,000 to $6,000, most painting companies recover the cost from a single booked job they would have otherwise missed.
