NEW YORK, NY — October 20, 2026 — Jobholler today announced the launch of its 24/7 AI receptionist, built for the contractors who keep homes running: HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing pros.

The service tackles one of the most expensive problems in the trades, the call that goes to voicemail. When a homeowner’s AC dies in July or a pipe bursts at midnight, they rarely leave a message. They call the next company on the list. For a small shop, every one of those calls is a lost job, and hiring a full-time receptionist to catch them often isn’t realistic.

Jobholler answers instead. When a contractor can’t pick up, calls forward to Jobholler, which answers in seconds with the contractor’s business name. The AI receptionist talks with the caller naturally and collects what the contractor needs to win the job: the caller’s name, callback number, service address, the problem, and how urgent it is.

Within minutes, the contractor gets a clean summary by email. They can call back, quote and book while the customer is still deciding, whether it’s 2 p.m. on a Tuesday or 2 a.m. on a Sunday.

“Built for the way contractors actually work” shapes every part of the product:

  • Keep your number. No new number to advertise and no porting. Contractors simply forward missed calls from their existing cell, landline or business phone system.
  • Set up in minutes. Owners add their business details, hours and services, then turn on call forwarding with their phone provider.
  • No per-minute surprises. Every plan’s price includes call handling, and call length doesn’t change it.
  • Plans for every size shop. Starter is $85 per month. Core ($149 per month) adds voicemail-to-text, Google review requests and a team dashboard. Pro ($399 per month) adds three lines, a custom greeting, advanced call routing, team handoff workflows and priority support.

Contractors can hear it for themselves. Jobholler’s live demo line, , lets anyone call and experience the AI receptionist answering a real service call. It’s free and requires no sign-up.

Jobholler offers a free 3-day trial at getjobholler.com.
