An AI that knows tile contractor calls.
Trained on the calls a tile contractor actually gets — emergencies, common asks, the urgency cues that matter. Never quotes prices. Never books on its own. Captures every real call so a member of your team can follow up.
Start your VettedCalls AI receptionistWhy Tile Contractors pick VettedCalls
If you run a tile contractor business, you already know the pattern: an unknown number rings, you decline because most are spam, and the one in ten that was a real customer goes to your competitor instead. Carrier spam filters make it worse — they silently auto-reject calls before your phone even rings. VettedCalls puts a 10-second AI screen between the unknown caller and your phone. The AI captures the caller's name and what they need, recognizes tile contractors-specific urgency cues, and only forwards real calls to you.
The AI is trained on the calls tile contractors actually get. It treats "leak under shower", "water in floor below", "tiles falling", "shower flooring soft", "mold in shower" and similar phrases as emergencies that escalate to your cell immediately, bypassing any schedule or routing. If a caller mentions "active leak under shower tile (water damage)", you ring within seconds — no AI hold, no voicemail.
For non-emergency calls — cracked tiles in shower (water getting through), loose tiles falling off wall, single broken tile replacement, regrout tile (refresh dirty grout) — the AI captures the caller's name, what they need, and (for service calls) the address. It works through 8 fields naturally in conversation, never as a checklist, so when you call back you have full context instead of "someone called, no message." Real tile contractors report 30–50% fewer missed real-customer calls in the first month.
One firm rule: the AI never quotes prices over the phone — not hourly rates, not minimums, not a "ballpark." Pricing always depends on the specifics, and that conversation belongs with you (or someone on your team), not with a screening AI. The AI politely deflects pricing questions and gathers enough info that your callback is fast and on-target.
Setup takes about 5 minutes. You keep your existing phone number — VettedCalls uses carrier-level conditional forwarding, so contacts ring you directly and unknown callers route to the AI screener first. After signup, you tap an activation file on your phone, grant permissions, dial one short forwarding code, and you're live. Cancel anytime; no contracts; 14-day money-back if it isn't a fit for your tile contractor business.
