A kitchen remodel lead is worth $40,000. It still deserves a reply in a minute.

What your leads actually say

Three messages remodelers get every week

Verbatim in spirit. Each one arrived while the person who should answer it was on a job, and each one was also sent to 2 or 3 competitors.

“We want to remodel our kitchen, open it up to the living room, new cabinets and an island. Budget is around $60k. How does your process work and when could you start?”

“Master bath is original 1998, want a walk-in shower instead of the tub and double vanity. Do you handle design and permits?”

“Thinking about adding a casita in the backyard for my mother. Is that something you do and what is a realistic range?”

How LeadBolt answers

Composed for the lead in front of it, in about 45 seconds

The reply on the right is the kind of message Live Wire, the auto-responder, sends to remodelers. It is built from what the customer wrote, the service LeadBolt classified, the time of day and whether you are open, the city, and the facts you set: your prices, your policies, your license. Nothing is pasted from a script bank, and no two leads get the same message.

Strike First, the speed-to-lead engine, sends it in about 45 seconds, during hours and after. Lightning Rod, the spam detection, has already parked the lead resellers and the marketing pitches, so the crew only ever sees customers. If the customer goes quiet, Boomerang, the ghost-lead follow-up, nudges them until they answer or say stop, and the whole thread lives in Switchboard, the unified inbox, where a person can take over with one tap.

Hi Rachel, this is ACME Remodeling. Opening a kitchen to the living room with new cabinets and an island fits a $60k budget well in Phoenix, and we handle design, permits, and the build. The first step is a 45 minute consultation at your home to talk layout and timeline. We have Tuesday at 4 PM or Saturday at 10 AM. Reply 1 or 2.

Illustrative reply. The appointment windows come from Dispatch, the scheduling add-on.

The services you can auto-book

3 of 9 book from the first reply

Consultations, countertops, and trim packages book from the first reply. Everything else is design-build, so the reply qualifies budget and timeline, then books the consultation and explains what happens in it.

With Dispatch, the scheduling add-on, the first reply offers 2 or 3 real windows and the customer books by texting a number. Services that need a quote get the estimate visit booked the same way, which is still a booking on your calendar. Which services are bookable is set per service inside LeadBolt, so the list below is a starting point, not a rule.

Seasonality and timing

When remodelers get buried, and why the clock matters more then

Remodeling inquiries climb in January, when the holiday guests have left and the kitchen has been judged, and again in spring, when tax refunds and home equity meet. Summer brings the bath and addition projects timed for school breaks. Each lead is worth thousands, which makes it strange how many sit unanswered for a day while the estimator is on a job site. The homeowner messaged 3 contractors and will meet whoever answered first.

Throttle, the Yelp ad tuning, concentrates budget on the project keywords that produce consultations and blocks the ones that bring handyman-sized requests and subcontractor pitches. After-hours replies matter because remodels are planned at the kitchen table after dinner: a 9 PM inquiry gets a reply that confirms the budget fits, explains the design-build process from your facts, and offers a Saturday consultation, so the lead is a meeting before the other contractors read it.

Plans start at $149/mo and every plan answers every lead in under a minute. Throttle is included in Pro. See pricing for the full grid.
