For painters + contractors
Solo + small-crew painting + contracting businesses: interior/exterior, cabinet refinishing, deck staining, EPA RRP-certified lead-paint work, color consultations. Every quote inquiry captured with sq-ft + surface + paint preference + lead-paint year-of-build, every recurring repaint customer recognized.
What your callers hear
“Thanks for calling — what are you looking to paint? Interior, exterior, cabinets, deck, something else?”
Painters lose ~40% of cold leads to whoever picks up first. RingDispatch picks up instantly, captures sq-ft estimate, surface (drywall / wood / stucco / metal), paint preference (Benjamin Moore / Sherwin / Behr), color count, year-of-build (for RRP), and books the on-site quote — before the homeowner dials the next painter.
EPA RRP rule requires lead-paint-certified contractors for any disturbance of pre-1978 painted surfaces. The AI captures year-of-build on every inquiry and (if your knowledge base says you're RRP-certified) confirms you can do the job. If you're NOT RRP-certified and the home is pre-1978, the AI politely declines the lead-paint portion + offers to take a message for the other work.
Customers always ask. List your license number (state-specific), bonding (provider + amount), and insurance (general liability + workers comp) in onboarding. The AI quotes accurately every time.
Painting is the #1 trade for reentry entrepreneurs. We don't add felony exclusions, sole-prop-under-SSN signup is supported, and CDFI / community-bank routing is welcome (see /accessibility for full details). If you hit a payment-processor or carrier KYC wall, email us and we'll work on alternatives.
Caller estimates 2,000 sq ft interior + accent wall + 3 colors + Benjamin Moore Aura. The AI captures every detail and quotes a starting per-sq-ft number if you've listed one ($2.50-$4.50/sq ft is typical interior; $3.50-$7/sq ft exterior).
Customers want a color consultation before committing. The AI books a 30-min on-site consult separately from the estimate. Optional consult fee captured.
Repaint every 5-7 years interior, 7-10 exterior. The AI can remind past customers when they're due — caller calls back, AI greets by name, knows they had Behr Slate Blue 5 years ago and offers a fresh-quote booking.
“You're booked, Maria — Carlos will be there tomorrow at 9 with parts for a copper pinhole leak.”
$129/mo if you go month-to-month. Three plans (Starter / Professional / Enterprise), voice cloning included with any active plan, BYO phone number. Most painters + contractors start on Professional for multi-staff routing.
See pricing →Yes. Sole-proprietorship under SSN is supported in our onboarding + Stripe billing. You do NOT need an EIN. If your trade isn't in our preset list, free-text "Painter" or "House painter" works.
Possibly: our payment processor (for payouts, if ever wired) runs its own KYC and can deny on OFAC-adjacent flags; carrier-side A2P 10DLC brand vetting can downscore sole-props with thin business credit. If you hit a wall, email hello@ringdispatch.com and we'll work with you on alternatives. We do not screen account holders by criminal history. See /accessibility → Reentry section.
Yes if you fill out the knowledge base. List your RRP-certification number + expiration date + the jobs you'll take (full interior + exterior, just exterior, only modern homes, etc.). The AI confirms certification to callers + captures year-of-build for pre-1978 homes. If you're NOT RRP-certified, the AI politely declines lead-paint disturbance work + offers to take a message for the other portion of the project.
Yes — list your state contractor license #, your bonding (provider + amount), and your insurance (general liability + workers comp policy provider + limits) in onboarding. The AI quotes accurately to every caller. This is the #1 question painting customers ask; getting it right builds trust.
