What the AVERY Framework does

What AVERY stands for

A front-desk revenue system, not a script.

The framework keeps every lead moving toward money.

A

Answer fast

Every call, text, form, and missed-call lead gets a fast response.

V

Verify need

Confirm who they are, what they need, where they are, and urgency.

E

Extract info

Capture the job details needed to book, dispatch, or quote cleanly.

R

Route correctly

Book, alert, escalate, disqualify, or follow up based on your rules.

Y

Yield next action

End every lead with a booked job, callback, alert, or nurture step.

Missed-call math

See what missed calls are probably costing you.

No jargon. Add your job value, missed calls, and how many of those calls usually turn into real work when you answer fast.

See What Missed Calls Are Costing You

Use rough numbers. The point is to see whether one recovered job covers the month.

Contractor revenue scenarios

What Happens When Response Time Drops to 60 Seconds

Different trades, same pattern: answer faster, follow up instantly, and convert more of the demand you already paid for.

These examples show the business case contractors use to judge the AVERY Framework: one captured job can cover the system for months.

Questions before contractors switch

What Contractors Usually Need To Know

Straight answers on cost, control, rollout, and whether this fits your operation.

Why can't I just hire an office manager or receptionist?

An employee costs $3,000-$5,000/month, plus benefits, taxes, training, and management headaches. AVERY Answering is the $299/month starter plan for missed calls, lead capture, booking, and simple automations with usage rebilled monthly. AVERY Front Office is the $999/month managed flagship with unlimited minutes for non-enterprise contractors, managed setup, advanced automations, Dispatch Desk, Follow-Up Engine, and Pipeline. When you get busier, the value goes up instead of your answering-service bill.

Will AVERY sound like a robot? Will customers trust him?

Use the Call AVERY page to request a custom demo call. AVERY calls you, answers naturally, screens the job, captures urgency, and shows how fast a lead can get handled before another contractor wins the work.

What happens during an emergency call?

AVERY flags emergencies instantly — he knows the difference between routine maintenance and 'no heat in January' or 'standing water in the basement.' Urgent calls trigger an immediate notification to your on-call tech via text and email. No lead sits in a queue.

Do I own my data if I cancel?

Yes. All your contacts, call logs, lead history, and recordings are yours. After cancellation, you get 30 days of access to download everything.

Is there a call or lead limit?

AVERY Answering covers core call capture, booking, and simple automations, with usage rebilled monthly for minutes and call volume. AVERY Front Office includes unlimited minutes for non-enterprise businesses, so growth does not turn into a bigger answering-service bill. It also adds Dispatch Desk, Follow-Up Engine, and Pipeline modules around the full lead desk.

What if I get a call while I'm on a job? Can I override AVERY?

Yes. If your phone rings, you can answer it directly. AVERY only handles calls when you're unavailable. You stay in control.

What about seasonal work? I'm slammed in summer, dead in winter.

That's exactly what AVERY solves. When you're busy in peak season, he captures all the calls. In off-season, he keeps leads warm so you stay booked when things ramp back up. Winter calls get booked for spring.

Can I customize scripts? Does AVERY handle different job types?

Absolutely. AVERY is fully customizable — different responses for different services (roof inspections vs. emergency repairs, for example). You control what he says and how he books appointments.

How quickly will I see new leads?

From day one. AVERY answers every call the moment he goes live. You'll see your first text-back within 60 seconds of a missed call. Even one recovered job can cover the monthly cost, depending on your trade, market, and close rate.

No contracts or long-term lock-in?

Correct. Month-to-month, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Front Office includes a 90-day guarantee: if you don't land at least one extra job in 90 days, we work for free until you do. We only stay if we're delivering.

Does AVERY only handle calls, or does he manage leads from other sources?

AVERY handles everything. Missed calls? He answers by voice. Form submissions at 2am? He texts the lead back in 60 seconds. DMs from Instagram or Facebook? He responds there too. He qualifies leads with questions, scores them based on buy-readiness, and follows up automatically via SMS, email, and voice over days or weeks until they book or go cold. One system catches all your leads.

What about follow-up sequences? Does AVERY keep working leads?

Yes. If a lead is not ready to book on first contact, AVERY automatically sends multi-channel follow-up (SMS, email, voice) over the next 7-30 days. He continues until they either book or tell him to stop. No lead falls through the cracks.

What does the strategy call actually cover?

We pull up data on how many calls businesses like yours typically miss, walk through how AVERY would handle your specific services (emergency vs. scheduled, residential vs. commercial), and give you a custom plan with done-for-you setup and ongoing optimization. It's 15 minutes, no pitch deck, no pressure. You'll leave knowing exactly what you're losing and how to fix it.

Does it integrate with my CRM or scheduling tools?

Yes. AVERY connects to most CRMs and scheduling platforms — including ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, and GoHighLevel. Booked appointments sync directly to your calendar, and lead data flows into your existing workflow. We handle the setup during onboarding.

Can I pause AVERY during slow season instead of canceling?

Absolutely. If your business slows down, you can pause your account and reactivate when things pick up. No penalty, no reactivation fees. Most contractors keep AVERY running year-round because off-season leads booked early can fill the spring calendar.

Why We Built This

Built for Contractors, by a Team Close to the Trades

We are operators and marketers who grew up around home-service businesses, then built DevHouse to solve the missed-call problem we kept seeing firsthand.

🎯

Our Mission

We started DevHouse AI after watching our families in the trades lose tens of thousands in booked work simply because they couldn't answer the phone while on job sites. One uncle in HVAC missed a serious commercial opportunity because he was up on a roof when the call came in.

That shouldn't happen. Small contractors deserve the same 24/7 responsiveness as big companies—with none of the overhead. That's why we built AVERY — a fully customizable AI receptionist who captures every opportunity while you focus on the work that matters.
