AI receptionist for drywall repair pros
Most drywall calls start the same way: "There's a hole in my wall. What will it cost?" Chipmo AI answers, gets the size and location of the damage, asks for photos (by text once texting is switched on, if the caller agrees), and gives your approved range for simple patches. Bigger jobs, like water damage or a ceiling repair, get flagged to you with the details.
Where drywall calls slip away
- Every caller wants a price first. Answering "how much for a doorknob hole?" over and over pulls you off the wall you're taping.
- Size matters, and callers guess. "It's small" can mean a nail pop or a two-foot gash. Without photos you're quoting blind or driving out for nothing.
- Dust and mud don't mix with phones. Mid-coat, you're not picking up, and the homeowner moves on to the next listing.
- Water damage hides bigger problems. A stained ceiling might be a plumbing leak, and those calls need a different answer than a simple patch.
- Open quotes go cold. You sent a number on Monday; by Friday nobody has followed up and the job went elsewhere.
What your callers hear
A caller says…
"My son put a doorknob through the hallway wall. It's about the size of a fist."
Chipmo AI…
Once texting is switched on, asks for a photo by text if the caller agrees; gives your approved range for a small patch, and books the visit on your calendar.
A caller says…
"There's a brown stain on my ceiling and it's starting to sag."
Chipmo AI…
Treats a sagging, wet ceiling as urgent, tells the caller to keep people out from under it, suggests they call a plumber about the leak, and is designed to send the details to you right away.
A caller says…
"We're finishing our basement and need it hung and taped."
Chipmo AI…
Takes the square footage and timeline, explains it needs an estimate, and flags it to you as a complex job. Once texting is switched on and you turn on quote follow-up, it will check in later with callers who said yes to texts.

Urgent drywall calls go to a person
An active water leak behind the drywall or a sagging ceiling is handled by a setup that is designed to send urgent calls to you or your backup right away; if anyone may be in danger, callers are told to call 911. The caller is told to stay clear of the area and is pointed to a plumber for the leak itself. How urgent calls work
Simple jobs and complex jobs
You decide where the line is. Here's an example of how a drywall repair business might set it up:
Simple: quote your range, then book
- Nail pops and small dings: $X–$Y
- Doorknob-size hole patch: $X–$Y
- Patch up to about one foot: $X–$Y
- Texture matching on a small patch: $X–$Y
Complex: flag to you
- Water-damaged walls or ceilings
- Ceiling repairs
- Full rooms or basements
- Mold-affected drywall
Illustrative only. You set the real job types and price ranges in writing before anything goes live.
