Not an answering service. Maria answers your carpentry line while you’re at the saw with sawdust flying — sagging or bouncy floors / squeaky stairs, rotted deck boards or framing, or the carpentry job that’s that's a solid ticket — in your company’s name, 24/7, and books it.

Does Maria understand carpentry calls?
She knows scribe, reveal, proud / shy, a circular skil saw / track saw, and what DeWalt means — the right questions for built-ins and a run of trim, not a caller re-explaining their own job.
An after-hours carpentry job?
Sagging or bouncy floors / squeaky stairs can’t wait. She answers 24/7 as your company, books or messages it, and warm-transfers a real emergency to your cell.
How do I hear about the calls?
Email — summary and full transcript — the second it ends. Calendar booking on both plans. And she texts your customers their appointment confirmations and reminders automatically.
