For contractors · New customer inbox

Every customer hears back in seconds,not next week

The contractor who replies first usually gets the job. Most take two days. You won't. Website forms, referrals, and phone calls all land in one inbox, the customer gets an instant branded reply, and quiet leads get followed up automatically.

Inbox for everything

Harvard Business Review audited 2,241 companies: the average reply to a new inquiry took 42 hours, and 23% never responded at all. By then the customer has usually called someone else. Your reply goes out the second they submit.

What you get

Three things, every time a customer reaches out

You stop living in your inbox. The customer never waits.

An instant, branded reply

The second someone fills out your form, they get an email with a ticket number, your company name, and your logo. They know they reached a real business, not a black hole.

A near-ready draft for you

Set up a template once for the details you need. We combine the customer answer with your template and auto-draft the response. You review, edit if needed, and send.

Automatic follow-up

If the customer goes quiet, we nudge them for you. No sticky notes, no forgotten threads, no lead going cold because you were on a job all week.

Start to finish

From "new customer" to "scope locked" without the inbox grind

1

Share your link

We give you a link with your company name and logo. Put it on your website or Google profile, or text it to a referral.

2

They submit, you both get notified

The customer fills out a short form for the project summary and best time to reach them. They get an instant ticket, you get the lead.

3

Spam gets filtered

Optional spam filtering means you spend time on real customers, not bots.

4

We draft the response

Your template plus their answer becomes a near-ready reply. Review, edit if needed, and send. It emails them and updates the ticket.

5

We nudge if they go quiet

Automatic follow-up keeps the conversation alive until you have what you need to quote.

6

Quote and get paid, your call

Use automated quoting and turn it into a RenovationRoute project to get paid on the platform, or take the details and write your own. Up to you.

Two ways customers come in

Online or on the phone, same inbox

Your link

A branded form anyone can fill out

Your company name and logo, your questions. Customers reach out from your website, your Google profile, or a text you send. They get the instant reply, you get the ticket.

Log a call

Phone leads land in the same place

Took the call yourself? Log it in a few taps and it opens the same kind of ticket, so you are not managing customers across a notepad, your inbox, and your phone.

Jesse Edwards, RenovationRoute founder

I built this because I couldn't keep up with my own customers. Between running jobs, I'd go days without replying, or miss an inquiry entirely and not catch it until weeks later. Not good for them, not good for me.

So now every new customer hears back the second they reach out, and I nudge the quiet ones without thinking about it. If you are losing customers to a slow reply, I'd love a few of you to try it.

Customer Inquiries FAQs

Straight answers for contractors drowning in new customer messages

How do new customers reach me through RenovationRoute?

You get a branded link with your company name and logo. Put it on your website, your Google profile, or text it to a referral. The customer fills out a short form and instantly becomes a tracked ticket. You can also log a phone call by hand, which opens the same kind of ticket so everything lives in one place.

What happens the moment a customer submits?

They get an automatic email with a ticket number, branded to your company, so they know you received it. You get notified, and the inquiry lands in your inbox. We treat every inquiry like a support ticket so nothing slips through.

Do I have to write every reply from scratch?

No. You set up a template once for the information you need to collect. When the customer replies, we combine their answer with your template and auto-draft a near-ready response. You review it, edit if needed, and send. It emails the customer and updates the ticket so they can reply back.

What if the customer goes quiet?

We auto-nudge them for you. You do not have to remember to follow up, and customers do not fall through the cracks because you got busy on a job.

Does it filter out spam?

Yes, optional spam filtering means you spend your time on real customers instead of bots and junk submissions.

Does RenovationRoute read my email inbox?

No. RenovationRoute is not your email client. New customers come in through your branded link or a call you log, and everything stays in one place so you are not chasing threads across your inbox.

Will the customer know it is RenovationRoute?

No. The form and the emails carry your company name and logo. As far as the customer is concerned, they are talking to you. RenovationRoute runs quietly in the background.

Can I turn an inquiry into a quote or a paid project?

Yes. Once you have nailed down the scope, use the automated quoting and turn it into a RenovationRoute project to get paid on the platform, or take the details and write your own quote. Up to you.
