Get set up in three steps

You don't need any tech skills. Enter your business, check the details, and connect your phone.

01

1. Enter your business

Type in your business name or website. AllDayDesk pulls in your services, service area, and hours, then you check the details and fix anything that's off.

02

2. Hear your receptionist

Listen to a sample call based on your own business info. If the greeting or the way it asks about jobs doesn't sound right, change it before anything goes live.

3. Connect your phone

Keep your current number. Forward your calls to AllDayDesk — the steps depend on your phone carrier, and we walk you through it. After that, calls you can't get to get answered.

What your receptionist does on a painting call

Painting callers usually want one thing first: an estimate. They call about repainting a few rooms, siding that's faded, kitchen cabinets, or a drywall patch before paint goes up. Many call at night or while you're on a ladder. AllDayDesk collects the details that matter — interior or exterior, rooms or surfaces, timeline, and access — so you can price the job before you drive out.

Every caller hears a friendly greeting with your business name. Your receptionist asks if the job is interior or exterior, which rooms or surfaces are involved, and roughly when they want the work done. If you've set up bookable services and open slots, it can book a painting estimate right on your calendar. If something needs your call — a color match question, a price you haven't set, or a change to an existing appointment — it takes a clear message. You read every call, transcript, and summary in your dashboard. It doesn't give painting advice or quote prices you haven't saved.

Interior estimate

The caller says they want the living room, hallway, and two bedrooms repainted. Your receptionist asks about wall condition, whether furniture needs moving, and when they'd like the estimate. Then it books a time or takes a message with all the details.

Exterior siding

Faded siding and peeling trim bring in big jobs. Your receptionist collects the home's location, whether the house is one or two stories, and the timeline, so you know how big the job is before you visit.

Cabinet painting

Kitchen cabinets are a different job from walls. Your receptionist asks how many doors and drawers, the current finish, and whether the kitchen is in use — details that change your prep work and your price.

Drywall patch

Small repairs often come with a paint job, but sometimes they're standalone. Your receptionist finds out the patch size and whether the caller wants paint matched, then passes it to you or books a visit.

Commercial repaint

An office manager calls about repainting after hours. Your receptionist gets the square footage if they know it, the building address, and who to contact, then takes a message for you to call back.

Color consultation

Callers ask what color would look best or whether you can match an existing shade. Your receptionist doesn't give design advice — it explains that color choices are discussed with you and books a consultation or takes a message.

Pricing

Choose a plan that fits your calls.

Painters: your questions answered

Can it book painting estimates on my calendar?

Yes. New bookings go on the built-in AllDayDesk dashboard calendar once you've set up bookable services and your available times. You choose what can be booked — say, a one-hour estimate — and when you're open. If you'd rather use Google Calendar, you can connect your account in Settings after setup. If a caller wants a time you haven't made available, your receptionist takes a message instead.

Will it quote prices over the phone?

Only prices you've saved in your business details. Most painters don't quote over the phone anyway, since prep work, ceiling height, and surface condition change the number. Your receptionist collects the job details and books the estimate, and you give the price in person.

What happens when a caller asks something I should answer myself?

Questions about color choices, sheen, or whether you can match a specific shade get a friendly answer that you'll discuss those directly, plus a message with the caller's name, number, and what they asked. You'll see it in your dashboard and can call back when you're off the ladder.

Can callers reschedule an estimate they already booked?

They can ask. Changes to existing appointments go to you as a request — your receptionist takes the details and you confirm the new time. That way your schedule never changes without you knowing.

Do I keep my current phone number?

Yes. You keep your number and forward your calls to AllDayDesk. The forwarding steps depend on your phone service, and setup walks you through it. Calls you can't pick up get answered instead of going to voicemail.

How much does it cost, and what am I paying for?

Pricing is shown on the plans page. You pay for a set number of answered minutes each month, and there's a per-minute rate for minutes beyond that. Every plan includes the 24/7 answering, the dashboard with transcripts and bookings, and help with phone setup.
