AI Answering Service for Handymen
You're already paying $30-50 per lead on Google and HomeAdvisor. Don't waste them because you're on a ladder. Trillet screens every caller for job size and urgency, captures project details, and texts them your calendar link - so you land the $3,000 jobs, not just the $150 quotes.

Your Job Screening Process, Executed Perfectly. Every Time.
You don't need an AI to say 'leave a message.' You need one that knows which calls are $3,000 deck repairs and which are $50 quote requests - and that captures enough detail so you can prioritize the premium work. Trillet follows your exact screening logic - qualifying job size, asking your questions, and only sending you opportunities worth your time with full details captured.
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
What type of home repair work? Urgent vs routine (water damage, broken door vs planned project)? Project size indicator: single task or multiple repairs? Does this fit your service area and capabilities?
Qualify
Ask your custom job intake questions: What's the specific repair or project? When did the issue start? Property details (type, age, own or rent)? Budget or timeline in mind? Photos available (Trillet can request via text)?
Book
Trillet texts them your calendar booking link. You receive a full call summary with project details and budget indicator. The estimate appointment appears in your calendar with full context - prioritize premium jobs first.

What Solo Handymen Are Saying
Captured a $4,200 bathroom renovation while I was on a ladder. That one job paid for Trillet for 12 years. Haven't wasted a single LSA lead since switching.

Why Missing Calls Costs You Thousands
Voicemail
Homeowners with urgent repairs or big projects won't leave voicemails. They call 3-5 handymen and hire whoever answers first. You just burned a $45 Google LSA lead.
Result: Lost premium jobs and wasted paid leads.
Generic AI
They take a name and number - no job details, no budget, no urgency. You call back 3 hours later and they've already hired the first handyman who actually asked questions.
Result: Phone tag with leads who've moved on. No way to prioritize the $3,000 jobs.
Trillet
We screen for job size and urgency, capture full project details and budget indicators, and send them your booking link. You see premium jobs flagged in your calendar with complete context - so you know which estimates to prioritize.
Result: Land $3,000 jobs while you're hanging ceiling fans. Never waste a paid lead again.

Common Questions from Handymen
An AI answering service answers your phone 24/7, screens customers for job size and urgency, captures project details and budget indicators, and helps them book estimate appointments - without a human dispatcher. Unlike voicemail or basic answering services that just take messages, Trillet runs your full job qualification protocol so you only spend time on projects worth your time with full context captured. This protects paid leads from Google LSA, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack.
Trillet follows a four-step job screening process: First, it identifies whether the caller is a new customer or existing customer. Second, it screens for urgency and project size. Third, it asks your custom job intake questions (specific repairs needed, property details, budget range). Finally, if the customer wants to proceed, Trillet texts them your calendar booking link. You receive a full summary with project details and budget indicators after every call - so you know which estimates to prioritize.
When you pay $30-50 for a Google Local Services Ad or HomeAdvisor lead and miss the call because you're on a ladder, you burn cash. Trillet ensures every paid lead gets answered immediately, qualified properly, and converted into a booked estimate - protecting your marketing spend and preventing competitors from scooping up customers who called you first.
Yes. Trillet asks about project scope, timeline, and budget during the call. You receive indicators in your call summary that help you prioritize premium jobs - deck repairs, bathroom renovations, multiple-room projects - over small one-off tasks. This means you can focus your time on high-value work first.
Trillet will politely explain that your handyman business doesn't offer that specific service and end the call professionally. You'll still receive a summary so you know who called and what they needed.
Listen for yourself - we have a demo above. Trillet is designed for natural, professional conversation that matches the tone of your handyman business. Many callers don't realize they're speaking with AI.
That's exactly when Trillet is most valuable. The call gets answered without you climbing down, the customer gets screened and qualified with budget captured, and they receive your booking link - all before you finish the current job. You see premium projects flagged in your calendar when you're ready, ensuring you never miss high-value work.
When a customer is qualified and wants to schedule an estimate, 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 project details and budget range - no phone tag required.
Yes. Our Pro plan includes job management integration with tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceM8, and others. Contact our team to set this up for your handyman business.
Trillet starts at $29/month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Compare that to human answering services ($200-400/month), or the cost of missing just one premium job. A single $3,000 deck repair that you capture instead of lose pays for Trillet for 8+ years. If you're spending $500-1,000/month on Google LSA or HomeAdvisor, Trillet ensures you never waste those leads.
Yes. Trillet uses bank-level encryption for all calls and data. You control what questions are asked and what information is collected. We take customer confidentiality as seriously as you do.
