Ric's Repairs: a one-man handyman business that stopped missing calls

Minneapolis, MN · Live Botlery build

Eric runs Ric's Repairs solo. When you're the one holding the drill, you can't also be the one answering the phone — so calls went to voicemail, and voicemail is where new customers go to disappear. Here's what we built for him, and you can try the actual agent yourself.

The problem

A handyman's day is spent on ladders, under sinks and inside crawl spaces. Every call that rang while Eric was mid-job either interrupted paid work or went unanswered. Homeowners with a leaky faucet don't wait for a callback — they ring the next handyman on the list.

What Botlery built

• An AI agent trained on his real business — his services, service area, typical prices and policies, so it answers like someone who works there.
• 24/7 answering in a natural voice — during jobs, evenings and weekends.
• Lead capture: every caller's name, contact info and job details land in a Google Sheet, with an instant email to Eric.
• Booking: visits go straight onto his calendar.

What Eric says

"I'm out on jobs all day and used to miss calls constantly. Now the bot answers, quotes, and books visits straight to my calendar." — Eric O., Ric's Repairs
