Fix-It Frank, this is Jamie. What can we help with?

Caller
I need a ceiling fan put up and a door that won’t latch fixed.

We do both. Is there a light fixture where the fan is going now?
- 0:13
Caller
Yes, a regular light. And maybe a TV mounted while you’re here.

Got it: the fan, the door and a TV mount. That’s about half a day. I have Wednesday morning at 8:00. Does that work?

Wednesday’s good. 140 Maple Avenue.

Booked Wednesday at 8:00 at 140 Maple Avenue. If you have the fan already, keep the box handy.

Every item on the list, not just the first one.

Enough detail on each to bring the right parts.

Whether they already have the materials.
- 4
The address and how much time to block.
The calls that cannot wait until you are free
When a call sounds urgent, it gives the caller the safe first step you wrote, books the earliest slot and texts your phone, even if you only take email summaries for everything else.
A door that will not lock
The home cannot be secured, so it gets the earliest slot.
Water or electrical issues
It points the caller to a plumber or electrician when the job is outside what you take on.
Jobs outside your list
Politely declined, so you never arrive for work you do not do.
After every call, you get the short version
Who called, what they need, where, and when it is booked, with anything you should know before you arrive. The full recording and transcript are one tap away in the app.
- By email, or by text for urgent calls

Questions handymen ask us
Can it book the right amount of time?
Yes. It adds up the jobs on the list using the times you set for each and blocks that much of your day.
Will it take jobs I do not do?
No. Give it your list of what you take on, and it declines the rest politely.
Where does the job list end up?
On the booking and in the call summary you get, item by item, so you load the right parts before you leave.
