Connect your phone
Keep your existing number and forward your calls to AllDayDesk. The steps depend on your phone service, and the setup guide walks you through it. After that, calls you can't take get answered.

What your receptionist asks on every call
Fencing contractors spend their days digging, setting posts, and driving between jobs. The phone rings while you're running a post hole digger or up on a slope, and most callers won't leave a voicemail. They call the next fence company on the list. The calls that come in are predictable: someone wants a new wood or vinyl fence, a gate is dragging, a storm knocked down a section, or a neighbor dispute has them asking about property lines. Each one needs different details before you can price it, and getting those details on the first call saves you a callback.
A caller who wants a new fence gets asked the questions you'd ask: what material they're thinking about, roughly how much fence they need, and whether there's an existing fence coming down. A repair caller gets asked what's wrong and where the gate or damaged section is. Your receptionist also asks about yard access, since a locked side gate or a dog in the backyard changes how a job starts. If you've set up bookable services and availability, it can book a fence estimate right on your dashboard calendar. If you connect Google Calendar in Settings, it can book there too. If you haven't set up booking, it takes a message instead. It won't quote prices it doesn't have, settle a property line argument, or promise an arrival time. Those go to you as a clear message.
New fence estimate
The caller says they want a privacy fence around the backyard. Your receptionist asks about material, rough linear footage, gate locations, and whether the old fence needs removal. You get the details before you call back, so the quote visit is the second conversation, not the first.
Storm damage
After a windstorm, callers want a leaning section secured or posts reset. Your receptionist collects the address, what fell, and how to reach them. It doesn't judge urgency or promise a same-day visit. You read the messages and decide the order.
Gate repair
A sagging gate or a broken latch is often a small job, but it still needs the right info: which gate, wood or metal, and whether the hinge side is the problem. Your receptionist gathers it and takes a message or books a visit if you've set that up.
Post replacement
One rotten post doesn't always mean a whole new fence, but you can't tell from a phone call. Your receptionist records which section, how many posts look bad, and the fence material, then passes it along for your call.
Property line questions
Callers sometimes want to know where their line runs or what to do about a neighbor's fence. Your receptionist doesn't give surveying or legal answers. It explains that you'll discuss the details with them directly and takes their information.
Commercial fencing
A property manager calls about chain-link around a lot or a security upgrade. Your receptionist collects the property address, the scope, and their contact info, and lets them know you'll follow up. Bigger jobs usually need your input on access and scheduling anyway.

Fencing Contractors: your questions answered
Can it quote fence prices over the phone?
Only if you've saved prices for it to use. Many contractors price by linear footage, terrain, and removal work, so it varies too much to guess. If a caller asks what a job costs and you haven't saved that info, your receptionist says it doesn't have the price and takes their details so you can call back.
What happens when a caller asks about a property line?
Your receptionist doesn't give surveying or legal answers, and it won't take sides in a neighbor dispute. It tells the caller you'll go over the details with them directly and collects their name, address, and what they're seeing. You decide how to handle it from there.
Can it book estimate visits on my calendar?
Yes. By default it books into the built-in AllDayDesk dashboard calendar once you've set up your services and availability. If you'd rather use Google Calendar, you can connect and authorize your account in Settings. Either way, it confirms the exact time with the caller before locking it in. Changes to an existing appointment go to you as a request, not a confirmed change.
What does it do with storm damage calls at night?
It answers, collects the address, what came down, and how to reach the caller, and leaves it all in your dashboard. It doesn't promise a response time or mark anything as urgent. You read the messages in the morning and decide which jobs to run first.
Will callers know they're talking to an AI?
Your receptionist answers with your business name and handles the call plainly. If a caller asks, it's straightforward about being an answering service. Most callers just want their questions taken down and a call back, and that's what they get.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You keep your number and forward calls to AllDayDesk when you can't pick up. The exact forwarding steps depend on your phone carrier, and setup covers them. You can also let it answer everything and just check the dashboard.
