A handyman answering service that texts back — not a message pad.
You're mid-drywall when the phone rings out. Risacare catches the miss: the caller hears a short greeting, and your booking link is already in their texts — from your number, in seconds, before they call the next name on Google.
Built for handymen who can't stop mid-job
Texts back in seconds
The moment your phone rings out on a job, the caller has a text from your number. Every send is clocked and logged.
Your booking link, in their hand
The text carries your booking link, so the caller can grab a slot instead of calling the next handyman on the list.
Callers never hit dead voicemail
They hear a short professional greeting telling them a booking text is already on its way.
Replies become leads
When the caller texts back, it's saved with their number and you get an alert — call back when you're off the ladder.
Handyman FAQ
What happens when I miss a call on a job?
The caller hears a short professional greeting — thanks for calling, we've just texted you a link to book — and the text is already on their phone, sent from your business number.
Does it triage emergencies versus routine punch-list work?
No — the text back goes out instantly to every missed call, whether it's a leaky faucet or a shelf to hang. Real triage happens when you call back; we don't put a script between you and the job.
Does it sync with Jobber or Housecall Pro?
No — Risacare doesn't sync with dispatch or CRM software. The text carries your booking link, and any reply lands in your Risacare leads with the caller's number so you can enter the job in whatever tool you already use.
Does it collect a deposit to lock in the job?
No. Risacare only sends the missed-call text back — it doesn't collect payments or deposits. You handle that the way you already do once you're talking to the customer.
How fast is setup?
We provision a textable business number, register it with the carriers, and give you one forwarding code to dial on your phone. Most shops are live in 3-5 business days, once the carriers clear the number.
