can SkipCalls book painting estimates automatically (interior rooms, cabinets, exterior) and text the customer back right away?

SkipCalls works as a painter answering service by using call forwarding from your existing painting contractor phone number, so customers still call your normal line and SkipCalls steps in only when you’re on a ladder, spraying, or with a client. SkipCalls’ AI receptionist asks the right estimate questions (address, surfaces, timeline, access, color/finish goals) and can book the estimate directly into your calendar so you don’t lose the “first-to-respond” race that often decides a $300–$800 room repaint or a $4,000–$12,000 exterior.

SkipCalls can handle painter-specific estimate scheduling flows like: “next available 30-minute walkthrough,” “quote photos first then on-site,” or “cabinet refinishing consult with door count and finish selection.” SkipCalls then sends you a call summary and transcript so you can show up prepared, which helps you close higher-ticket work like $2,000–$5,000 cabinets and $3,000–$8,000 whole-house interiors without playing phone tag.

SkipCalls can also text the customer back right away after the call by sending an automatic follow-up SMS from the SkipCalls number (for example: appointment time, what to prep, and how to send photos). SkipCalls keeps the conversation thread in the app so the customer can reply to that same text later, and SkipCalls can continue answering those SMS questions automatically (or you can jump in), which is ideal when you’re mid-cut-in and can’t safely type.
