Contracting is a speed-to-lead game
When a homeowner's water heater fails or a pipe bursts, they're not shopping around — they're calling the next contractor on the list. Studies of home-service buyers show the contractor who responds first wins the job up to 78% of the time, and most homeowners stop calling after the second or third contractor picks up the phone.
That's why Contractor Ace was built for contractors who run lean. You don't have a full-time office manager fielding calls.
You have a phone in your truck, a job in front of you, and a steady drip of new leads you can't afford to drop. Our lead management software turns every missed call into a tracked opportunity and every new request into a quoted job — fast.
Every contracting lead, in one mobile inbox
Phone calls, text messages, website requests, Google form fills, and referrals from past customers all land in the same place — your phone.
Inbound calls
Missed-call alerts with caller ID, voicemail transcripts, and a one-tap callback. Nothing slips because you were under a sink.
Texts & SMS
Two-way texting from your business number. Reply with a quote, schedule, or directions without juggling personal threads.
Website & form leads
Embed a quote form on your site or Google profile. Submissions create a lead instantly with name, address, and job details.
Repeat customers
Old clients come back. Contractor Ace flags returning numbers so you can greet them by name and skip the intake.
Manual leads
Got a referral at the supply house? Add a lead in 10 seconds — no forms, just a name and a phone number.
No lead left behind
Every new lead gets a status. Anything untouched for 24 hours bubbles to the top so it never gets buried.
A simple lead pipeline built for contractors
No 14-stage enterprise CRM. Just the four statuses every contracting shop actually uses.
- 1
New
Lead just landed. Caller ID, source, and job description are already attached. Tap to call back or text in one motion.
- 2
Contacted
You reached the homeowner. Log the call, note the issue, and book a site visit — or send a quote on the spot.
- 3
Quoted
Estimate sent by text or email. Customer can approve from their phone. Contractor Ace nudges them automatically if they don't.
- 4
Won
Approval triggers a scheduled job, an invoice draft, and a customer record — without retyping a single name or address.
Quote faster. Win more work.
Most contractors lose jobs not on price — but on wait time. The homeowner sat with a leaking shutoff for three days, no quote in hand, so they called the next number.
Contractor Ace closes that gap.
From the lead card, one tap pre-fills an estimate with the customer's name, address, and the job description they already typed into the website form. Add line items from your contracting templates — water heater install, drain clearing, repipe — and send it by text before you leave the driveway.
Customers tap to approve right from their phone.
When they approve, the lead flips to "Won," a job is scheduled, and an invoice draft is waiting for the moment you finish the work. No double entry.
No paper estimates getting lost in the truck.

Automatic follow-ups — because most quotes need a nudge
Contractors leave thousands of dollars on the table every month because nobody follows up on outstanding quotes. Contractor Ace nudges for you.
Quoted leads that go cold trigger an automatic text at 48 hours and a second one at 5 days — written in plain, friendly language that sounds like you, not a robot.
Customers reply right in the same SMS thread, and the conversation stays attached to the lead so nothing gets lost between you and your apprentice.

Built for contractors & service businesses — not generic field service

No HVAC clutter. No general-contractor jargon.
No 90-day onboarding. Sign up free, capture your first lead in under five minutes, and only pay when you're ready for the Pro or Elite features.
Frequently asked questions
Is Contractor Ace lead management free?
Yes. The Free plan includes lead capture, the four-stage pipeline, and customer records for one user. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited two-way SMS, business phone, and follow-up automation.
Will it work with my existing phone number?
You can keep your current cell or business number for calls and add a Contractor Ace business number for SMS and call tracking. Most contractors run both side by side.
Do I need a website to capture web leads?
No. Contractor Ace gives you a hosted lead form you can drop into a Google Business profile, Facebook page, or yard-sign QR code. If you do have a site, embed it in one line of code.
How is this different from a generic CRM?
Generic CRMs are built for SaaS sales teams running 90-day deal cycles. Contractor Ace is built for contractors running 2-hour deal cycles — pipeline, templates, and timing all match how contracting work actually books.
Can my apprentice or office manager log in too?
Yes. Pro includes 1 user and Elite includes 2. Enterprise includes 10 users. Everyone sees the same shared lead inbox in real time.
