Handyman answering service
Most handyman work comes in by phone, and most handymen work alone. When you're on a ladder or in the middle of a repair, that call goes to voicemail, and the caller just dials the next name on the list. EveryDial answers in your business name, books the job, and sends you the details, so the work you already earned doesn't go to someone else.

What your receptionist does for you
Answers every call while you're on a job
You can't pick up with a drill in your hand. Your receptionist answers every call, so a full day of work no longer means a day of missed jobs.
Books the job, doesn't just take a message
It asks the right questions for a handyman call, one repair or a whole list of small jobs, offers times inside your working hours, and books the job. The caller gets a booked time, not a callback you have to remember.
Big projects reach your phone
You decide what counts as a priority. A large remodel or deck lead can ring your cell right away, while a small repair gets booked for later and sent to you.
One published price, no surprise bills
Starter is $49 a month with 100 minutes included, Pro is $149 with 400. Past that it is $0.49 a minute on Starter and $0.37 on Pro, and a spending cap means one month can never add more than one plan price.
Common questions
- Is an answering service worth it for a handyman business?
- If you miss calls, yes. Most handyman jobs start with a phone call, and callers usually hire whoever picks up or gets back to them first. One booked job can cover the cost for the month. Your receptionist answers every call, books the job, and sends you the details, so the calls you already earned turn into work.
- How much does a handyman answering service cost?
- Most answering services bill by the minute and don't publish a rate, so a busy month means a bill you cannot predict. EveryDial publishes everything. Starter is $49 a month with 100 minutes included, Pro is $149 with 400, and extra minutes are $0.49 and $0.37. A busy month can push you into extra minutes, but a spending cap means one month can never add more than one plan price.
- Will it answer calls while I'm on a job?
- Yes. That's the main point. You keep working and your receptionist picks up every call, books the job, and sends you the details. It also answers after hours and on weekends, so a Saturday caller gets a real answer instead of voicemail.
- Does it actually book the job, or just take a message?
- It books the job. Your receptionist asks the right handyman questions, offers times inside your working hours, books the job, and confirms the time with the caller before hanging up. Booked jobs land in your inbox straight after the call. Syncing to Jobber and other field software is on the roadmap, so until then you get the booking and the details, not a message to chase.
- How is this different from a regular answering service?
- A regular answering service takes a message, and a person reads from a script billed by the minute. Your receptionist knows your services, hours, and pricing, so it answers the caller's questions and books the job on the spot. You get a booked appointment and the details, not a callback list to work through at night.
