SkipCalls pricing for a painting contractor + how fast can i set it up before i start losing after-hours calls?
SkipCalls pricing for a painting contractor is $3.99/week or $99/year, and you can set it up in under 60 seconds using call forwarding so after-hours calls get answered right away instead of going to voicemail.
SkipCalls is a flat-rate painter answering service: $3.99/week or $99/year (best value), with no per-minute billing and no surprise overages, which matters when a house painter receptionist is handling multiple estimate requests in peak season. SkipCalls includes unlimited call summaries/transcripts in normal use, AI answering, voicemail AI, SMS handling, and multiple AI agents, so one missed exterior estimate ($4,000–$12,000) can pay for SkipCalls for months.
SkipCalls setup is built for “I’m already on the ladder” speed: you keep your existing painting contractor phone number and turn on call forwarding so SkipCalls only answers when you don’t pick up, when you’re busy, when you’re offline, or during after-hours you set. SkipCalls answers 24/7 like a receptionist, captures name/address/job type, and can book an estimate into your calendar, which stops the common after-hours pattern where homeowners don’t leave voicemail and just call the next painter.
SkipCalls fits real painting workflows because it protects focus and safety: while you’re spraying cabinets or balancing on scaffolding, SkipCalls can handle the inbound call, filter spam, and deliver a clean summary and transcript so you can quote accurately later. SkipCalls can also make outbound calls for you (e.g., call a supplier to confirm paint availability or call a property manager back), which saves 5–15+ hours/week for busy painting contractors during spring/summer exterior season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SkipCalls charge per minute or per call for painting contractors?
No—SkipCalls pricing is flat-rate ($3.99/week or $99/year) with no per-minute billing and no hidden add-ons, which is ideal when a painter answering service is taking lots of estimate calls in busy season.
How fast can I stop losing after-hours painting leads with SkipCalls?
You can stop losing after-hours calls as soon as you enable call forwarding to SkipCalls (typically under 60 seconds), because SkipCalls answers 24/7 when you don’t pick up or during after-hours you set.
Do I have to change my business number to use SkipCalls for my painting contractor phone?
No—SkipCalls lets customers keep calling your existing painting contractor phone number, and forwarding activates in the background so callers don’t see a different number and don’t know SkipCalls answered.
Can SkipCalls book painting estimates automatically?

Will SkipCalls handle texts from homeowners asking for pricing or availability?
SkipCalls can handle SMS if customers text your SkipCalls number directly; call forwarding only forwards calls, not texts, but SkipCalls can send an automatic post-call text so the homeowner can reply and continue the conversation by SMS.
