AI agents for remodeling contractors, from first inquiry to final walkthrough
Six agents built for residential design-build and remodel firms. Each covers one part of the homeowner's path, from an Angi lead at 9 p.m. to a tile selection that is about to delay rough-in, and hands its work to your salesperson, designer or PM to approve.
- Agents for sales and production, each with one owner
- Built on your Buildertrend, JobTread or Houzz Pro data
- Homeowner messages approved until the agent earns trust
Why remodelers need more than a chat widget
The sale is long and personal
A kitchen remodel can take months from first call to signed contract, with design meetings, budget talks and two decision makers. A canned reply bot does not know where any homeowner stands.
Production depends on homeowner choices
Cabinets, tile, fixtures and appliances all have lead times. When a homeowner is slow to choose, the schedule slips, and generic reminders do not know which item is urgent.
Old houses add rules
Pre-1978 paint, permits for moved walls and state contract rules all shape what can be promised. An assistant with no view of the job cannot respect them.
The remodeling agent roster
Written as custom code on the major model APIs. JobTread and Thumbtack are reached through their official APIs; Buildertrend, Houzz Pro and Angi through exports, notifications and the integrations they allow.
Marketplace lead agent
Replies to Angi, Thumbtack, Houzz and web leads in minutes, asks about room, budget, timing and year built, and records consent for every text.
Design consult prep agent
Before each in-home visit, builds a one-page brief with the homeowner's photos, scope, budget, decision makers, permit flags and a pre-1978 note.
Proposal chase agent
Follows each proposal and design agreement with project-specific touches, offers scope alternates and financing links, and logs why deals are lost.
Selections deadline agent
Works back from each item's lead time and the trade waiting on it, reminds the homeowner, and alerts the designer when a choice is about to cost schedule.
Homeowner change order agent
Turns a request made to the crew into a written change order draft with scope and schedule impact, for the PM to price and send for signature first.
Lead-safe and permit records agent
Tracks Renovate Right pamphlet delivery and acknowledgment on pre-1978 homes, permit numbers and inspection results, and keeps them with the job file.

Guardrails for selling into people's homes
Consent before any text
Agents text only homeowners with consent on record under the TCPA rules your counsel applies, and stop at the first opt-out.
Cooling-off windows respected
After an in-home signing, sales agents go quiet during the FTC Cooling-Off Rule's three business day window and any longer period your state sets, as your attorney defines it.
No price, date or promise of its own
Agents share prices, start dates and alternates only after your designer or PM sets them. They never negotiate or discount.
Homeowner records in your accounts
Photos, messages, signed changes and RRP records are kept in systems your company owns, with a monthly review of how each agent performed.
“He got me 9 sales in my first 7 days of launching our campaign, which exceeded my expectations!”
Common questions
What are AI agents for remodeling contractors?
Each one is a small piece of software that handles a single stage of the homeowner's journey, such as replying to leads, chasing proposals or tracking selections. Its output goes to the salesperson, designer or PM who owns that stage.
Can the consult prep agent tell my designer what to sell?
No. It summarizes what the homeowner shared, flags likely permits and pre-1978 paint, and lists who needs to be at the meeting. Design and pricing are your designer's job.
Which agent should a small design-build firm start with?
Most start with the marketplace lead agent if they buy leads, or the proposal chase agent if they get enough leads but close too few.
Does the selections agent work with Buildertrend selections?
Yes, from Buildertrend's exports and notifications, since API access there is partner-only. With JobTread we read selections and schedule data through its API.
Will the change order agent let crews approve extras?
No. Crews capture the request. Pricing is the PM's, and the homeowner's signature comes before any extra work starts.
Is the lead-safe records agent an RRP compliance program?
No. It tracks documents your certified firm and renovator produce, such as the pamphlet acknowledgment. Lead-safe work practices and certification stay with your team.
Pick the remodeling agent to build first
The 2-minute AI audit shows which agent would recover the most sales or schedule time for your firm.
- Follow ten homeowners end to end
We trace ten recent clients from first inquiry to final payment and mark every point where a message was late, missing or wrong.
- Give the agent your playbook
Your scripts, minimums, design fee policy, financing partners and contract templates become the rules the agent follows.
- Approve its messages for a few weeks
Each homeowner message waits for your salesperson or PM. Their edits teach the agent your tone and limits.
- Hand off routine work, keep reviewing
Routine reminders go out on their own once they are right. Each month we check accuracy and opt-outs, then build a second agent once the first is steady.
