AI Answering Service for Fence Repair Contractors
You're not missing calls because you're lazy - you're missing them because you're digging post holes or running a saw. Trillet screens every caller for urgency (dog escape risk, storm damage, security breach), captures repair details, and texts them your booking link - so you never lose an emergency job to a competitor who just happened to answer first.

Today 4pm appointment booked
Your Emergency Screening Process, Executed Perfectly. Every Time.
When a homeowner's fence blows down and their dog can escape, they're not leaving a voicemail - they're calling the next contractor on Google. Trillet answers immediately, identifies true emergencies, captures the details you need to quote accurately, and books the job before your competitors even call back.
Identify
Is this an existing customer or a new customer? If existing customer, take a message or transfer. If new customer, continue to screening.
Screen for Urgency
What's the nature of the fence issue? HIGH URGENCY: Dog/pet escape risk, security breach, storm damage with exposed property. MEDIUM: Leaning fence, broken gate, damaged section. STANDARD: Cosmetic damage, weathering, general repair. Does this fit your service area?
Qualify
Ask your custom repair intake questions: Fence type (wood, vinyl, chain link, metal/iron, composite)? Damage (fallen section, broken posts, leaning, gap, gate won't close)? What caused it (storm, age/rot, vehicle hit, animal damage)? Roughly how many linear feet or panels? Own or rent? Filing insurance claim?
Book
Trillet texts them your calendar booking link. You receive a full call summary with repair details, urgency level, and transcript. High-urgency jobs are flagged so you can prioritize - no phone tag required.

What Fence Repair Contractors Are Saying
Captured a $1,800 storm damage job while I was on another site. Stopped losing $50 leads to voicemail. Game changer for my business.

Why 'Call Back Later' Doesn't Work for Emergency Repairs
Voicemail
A homeowner whose fence just blew down and whose dog can escape isn't leaving a voicemail. They're panicking and calling the next contractor on Google. By the time you call back, they've already booked someone else.
Result: Lost emergency jobs - often worth $800-2,000+ - before you even know they called.
Generic AI
They take a name and number. No urgency screening. No damage details. You call back not knowing if it's a 'my fence is slightly leaning' or 'my dog escaped twice today.' Meanwhile, the urgent caller already hired someone who answered immediately.
Result: Wasted time on low-priority callbacks while high-value emergencies go to competitors.
Trillet
We answer immediately, screen for true emergencies (pet safety, security, storm damage), capture full repair details (fence type, damage extent, cause), and book the job. You see urgency-flagged jobs in your calendar with complete context.
Result: Emergency jobs booked with full details while you're operating a saw or digging post holes.

Common Questions from Fence Repair Contractors
An AI answering service answers your phone 24/7, screens customers for emergency vs routine repairs, captures fence damage details and property information, and helps them book service calls - without a human dispatcher. Unlike voicemail or basic answering services that just take messages, Trillet runs your full job screening protocol so you can prioritize true emergencies (pet escape risk, storm damage) and never miss high-value repair jobs.
Trillet follows a four-step screening process: First, it identifies whether the caller is a new or existing customer. Second, it screens for urgency - flagging emergencies like dog escape risk, storm damage, or security breaches. Third, it asks your custom intake questions (fence type, damage extent, cause, scope). Finally, if the customer wants to proceed, Trillet texts them your booking link. You receive a summary with urgency flags and full details after every call.
Emergency fence repair isn't a high-volume business - you might only get 5-10 emergency calls per week. But each one is worth $400-2,000+. If you're paying $30-75 per lead on HomeAdvisor or Thumbtack and miss just ONE call while running a saw, you've burned that entire lead cost AND lost the job to a competitor. Trillet costs less than one missed lead per month. It's not about volume - it's about insurance against missing the calls that matter.
When a customer is qualified and wants to schedule fence repair, Trillet texts them your calendar link directly during the call. They can book a time that works for both of you. You get notified with the full call summary including damage details and urgency level - no phone tag required.
You can configure Trillet to handle this however you prefer. If you also do installations, it can route those calls appropriately. If you focus only on repairs, Trillet can politely explain that you specialize in emergency repair work and take a message or decline the call professionally.
Yes. Trillet screens for urgency at the beginning of each call. High-urgency situations (dog can escape, security breach, active storm damage) are flagged and prioritized in your notifications. Routine requests (cosmetic damage, general wear) go through standard booking. You can customize the urgency criteria based on your business.
Listen for yourself - we have a demo above. Trillet is designed for natural, professional conversation. Many callers don't realize they're speaking with AI.
That's exactly when Trillet is most valuable. The call gets answered without you stopping work, the customer gets screened for urgency, damage details are captured, and they receive your booking link - all before you finish. You see emergency jobs flagged when you check your phone, ensuring you never lose high-value work to a competitor who just happened to answer first.
Trillet starts at $29/month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Compare that to the cost of one missed emergency call - the average fence repair job is $400-1,200, with storm damage jobs often reaching $2,000+. One captured emergency call pays for months of service.
Yes. Trillet uses bank-level encryption for all calls and data. You control what questions are asked and what information is collected.
