For painters
The best AI receptionist
for painters.
Whole-house jobs go to whoever quotes first.
A Saturday morning, told straight
A whole-house repaint is two weeks of work. You can't answer because you're repainting.
A homeowner is selling their house and the agent told them to repaint everything cream. They have three weeks until listing. They're calling four painters for quotes.
You're on a ladder cutting in trim. Phone is in the truck. By the time you check messages, two competitors have quoted £4,000 and £6,000 and you've already missed the cheap-end customer.
That was £5,000 of work for two weeks of crew time.
Foan picks up in two seconds. Sounds friendly and competent. Asks for the address, square footage rough estimate, interior or exterior or both, how many rooms, ceilings included, prep needed. Quotes a ballpark from your per-square-foot rates. Books a measure visit. Texts you the address.
Painters lose whole-house jobs the same way every time: they were on a ladder. Foan covers the ladder gap.
At even one extra whole-house quote a month, average ticket £4,000-£8,000, the math is laughable. Foan is £49.
Same pattern works for interior repaints, exterior repaints, cabinet refinishing, and commercial painting.
