Deck Building answering
service. Meet Maria.

Maria answers your deck building line while you’re out back framing joists — rotting or soft boards and structural failure of an old deck, wobbly or loose railings (code/safety concern), or the deck job that’s that runs into five figures — in your company’s name, 24/7, and books it.

Deck Building answering — the index

Does Maria understand deck building calls?

She knows picture-frame border, breaker board, hidden fasteners, a Cordless circular saw / worm-drive (Skilsaw), and what Trex means — the right questions for a new composite deck out back, not a caller re-explaining their own job.

An after-hours deck job?

Rotting or soft boards and structural failure of an old deck 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, transcript, recording — the second it ends. Calendar booking on Pro and up. And she texts your customers their appointment confirmations and reminders automatically.
