The front desk for trades
You're under a sink. The phone rings. TradeLoom picks it up in your greeting, gets the name, the job, the address and how bad it is — then texts you the whole thing on one screen.
Your number stays yours · Live in about ten minutes
Don't pay until it catches a job
What a missed call actually costs
They hang up and call the next name on the list. You never find out the job existed.
Setup, start to finish
You don't learn software. You forward your line and get back to work.
01 — Keep your number
The number on your truck stays the number on your truck. We walk you through the forwarding code for your carrier, then place a test call so you can hear it work before you trust it.
02 — Say it your way
Type the words you'd say if you'd picked up. Pick the services you actually do, so it asks the questions that matter for a slab leak and not for a fence quote.
03 — Get the brief
The job lands as a text message you can read one-handed. Tap to call back. Mark it booked when you win it. That's the whole workflow.
The brief
Not a transcript to scroll through. Not a recording to sit through. The four things you need to decide whether to drive across town, plus their own words about what's wrong.
If the call falls apart — bad signal, they hang up early, the line cuts out — you still get their number, the time they called, and the recording. You never lose a lead to a technical problem.
What you get
Nights, weekends, and the four hours you're in a crawlspace with no signal.
Asks a roofer's questions on a roofing call and a plumber's on a leak.
Callers get answered in the language they called in, without you switching anything.
Robocalls and lead-gen spam never reach your phone, and never count against your plan.
Who called, what they said, what you did about it — timestamped, in one list.
A pipe burst at 2am doesn't wait in a text queue behind a fence quote.
On Team and Crew, briefs go to whoever's covering, not just to you.

Straight answer
Plenty of people will sell you a robot that promises to run your business. This isn't that, and we'd rather you know now.
It won't quote a job you haven't seen. It collects what the caller needs and hands the number to you.
Callers are told they're talking to your answering service, and that the call is recorded.
You keep the one on your truck. Nothing gets reprinted, nothing gets re-listed.
The brief comes as a text. The app is there when you want the full list — not because you have to.

Questions we get
No. You keep the number that's on your truck, your signs, and your Google listing. We set your line to forward to TradeLoom only when you don't pick up or you're already on a call — so when you can answer, you answer.
Your greeting, in the words you typed, in English or Spanish. Then a short conversation to get their name, what's wrong, where they are, and how soon they need someone. Most calls run under two minutes.
Yes, and every caller is told so at the start — that notice can't be removed, because in several states recording without it isn't legal. You can play back, download, or permanently delete any recording from the app.
Only if you tell it to, and only from a rate card you fill in yourself. Out of the box it gathers the details and leaves the number to you. It will never invent a price.
You still get the brief, marked as incomplete, with their phone number, the time they called, and the recording attached. A partial brief beats a missed call — that's the whole point.
It'll try to put them through. If you can't pick up, it takes the details the way it normally would and tells them when you'll be calling back.
One switch in the app. Taking a week off, or just want your phone back for an afternoon — flip it and callers get a plain message instead. Cancel the whole thing any time, no phone call required.
