KeptRing
KeptRing is an AI receptionist for home-service and construction contractors, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing shops. When a call to the business number goes unanswered, it answers, says it's an automated assistant, asks for the caller's name and callback number, and gathers the job details. It then emails the lead to the contractor right after the call. It doesn't book jobs or text callers. Pricing: Starter is $149 a month per line for 300 answered minutes, Pro is $249 for 600, and Crew is $449 for 1,200. That's about 100/200/400 calls a month if calls run about 2½ minutes. Extra minutes are $0.40 each. 14-day free trial on any plan with up to 250 answered minutes per line: $0 today, card at signup, cancel online. The first 10 paying customers get 20% off for as long as they stay.

ApexSmartAI
ApexSmartAI is a managed AI phone-answering service for U.S. home-service and property-management businesses. It answers inbound calls 24/7 in English and Spanish, follows approved business, service-area, and call-handling rules, and captures caller details and service needs. Call information is sent to designated contacts by SMS and email for follow-up. The vendor configures and maintains each receptionist around the business’s hours, services, and instructions; customers forward calls to the service rather than use a self-service dashboard. Supported use cases include HVAC, plumbing, roofing, painting, electrical, garage-door, and property-management inquiries, including after-hours and weekend calls. Urgent calls can be handled according to the business’s configured escalation process.
