A drywall answering service that answers while you're up on stilts.
A hawk in one hand, a twelve-inch knife in the other, six feet off the floor on stilts. Risacare answers the calls you miss doing that — a short greeting, then your booking link in their texts, from your own number.
Why drywall contractors pick Risacare
Stilts and a hawk are both hands
Coming down to answer a phone costs you the pass you were making. The text back needs nothing from you.
Water damage means same-day calls
A ceiling that came down is urgent. The reply goes out in about thirty seconds, whatever the hour.
Walkthroughs book themselves
The caller taps your link and picks a slot on your connected calendar.
$79/mo flat
One patch or a whole house, the price is the same and nothing takes a cut.
You're Covered in Mud, Not Answering Phones
Taping, mudding, and sanding are two-handed jobs, and a lot of it happens inside houses with poor cell reception. Calls stack up in voicemail while you're finishing a room, and most callers never leave a message.
Remodel Bids Are Competitive
For new construction or remodel work, homeowners and GCs are often getting a handful of quotes at once. A missed call with no response can quietly take you off the list without you ever knowing you lost the bid.
Drywall FAQ
Can it quote a patch over the phone?
No. It sends a greeting and a booking link — texture matching and finish level need eyes on the wall.
I sub for builders. Is this for me?
Same mechanic. Any missed call gets the text back, whether it's a GC or a homeowner.
Does it schedule around my other crews?
It books onto the calendar you connect, so whatever that calendar shows as free is what a caller can take.
Does someone talk to the customer, or is it just a text?
It's an automatic text, not a live conversation. When you miss a call, Call Catcher texts the caller within about 30 seconds to let them know you got their call. You still follow up personally when you're free.
I do a lot of insurance and water-damage jobs - does this help there?
It helps with the first response. Since those calls are time-sensitive and homeowners often call multiple contractors, an instant text-back gives you a better shot at being the one they wait for, even if you can't call back for an hour or two.
Do I need new equipment or a new phone number?
No. Call Catcher runs alongside your existing business number and only activates when a call goes unanswered. No new hardware or number to give out.
Does it ask the caller questions or qualify the job?
No. Risacare doesn't interview anyone — the caller hears a short greeting and gets a text with your booking link. Qualifying still happens when you call back. Nothing pretends to be a receptionist.
Does it sync with my dispatch or field software?
No. Replies land in your Risacare leads with the caller's number and you get an alert; you enter the job into whatever you already use. We'd rather say that plainly than sell an integration that doesn't exist.
What does it cost?
Call Catcher is $79/mo flat — no per-minute charges, no per-lead fees, no commission on the work it saves. 7-day free trial, card required, cancel any time.
