Paid leads decay by the minute
When you pay for a homeowner lead, the clock starts immediately. Setters who call back in hours instead of seconds waste the spend and blame the lead source.

AI Systems for Sales-Led Home Improvement Companies
What should a home improvement sales company automate with AI?
Sales-led home improvement companies, the ones that buy or generate leads and sell through setters, closers and in-home appointments, get the most from AI in three places: speed to lead on paid leads, recruiting and ramping commission reps, and turning site measurements into proposals the same day.
Why we can speak to this
We've run this business
Our systems come from running a home-improvement sales operation: generating homeowner leads with paid social, setting appointments, recruiting commission closers and canvassers, and quoting from measurements. We've built lead pages for roofing, concrete, landscaping and solar services, a satellite-tracing quote tool for permanent lighting, and a recruiting engine for door-to-door reps.
The pattern across home improvement sales
Whether the product is solar, lighting, roofing or remodeling, a sales-led company runs the same loop: generate or buy a lead, reach the homeowner fast, set an appointment that actually sits, run a consistent presentation, quote on the spot and follow up on everyone who didn’t buy. Recruiting runs alongside it because commission teams turn over.
Every step in that loop has a part that repeats identically, and a part that needs a person. The systems we install take the first part so your setters and closers spend their time on the second.
The problems
Where home improvement sales companies lose time and money
Rep churn never stops
Commission teams turn over constantly. Recruiting isn't an event; it's a system that has to run every week, with screening that filters out people who were never going to knock or close.
Appointments that don't sit
Set appointments go cold between the booking and the visit. Confirmation, reminders and a reason to keep the appointment are process, not luck.
Nobody knows which campaign produced the sale
Leads, appointments and closed deals live in different tools, so spend decisions get made on cost-per-lead instead of cost-per-sale.
What we install
Systems for home improvement sales
AI Lead Response
Re-engagement texting runs in our own businesses today. Automated texting is waiting on carrier registration, and the AI voice callback is in development.
An AI lead response system replies to every new inquiry within seconds, asks the qualifying questions you would ask, books a time with a person and keeps following up until the lead answers or opts out, then hands a qualified, summarized lead to a human.
AI Recruiting Engine
Intake and evidence rating run live on submitted applications. The AI screening conversation turns on once Meta App Review and SMS registration clear; until then, a person sends outreach.
An AI recruiting engine takes applicants from recruiting ads, asks only the screening questions their application didn't answer, rates each requirement with the applicant's own words as evidence, and books qualified people into interviews. A person makes every hiring decision.
Proposal Automation
The tablet In-Home Proposal System built on this approach is live at Certified Contracting. The measurement-to-PDF generator and the payment flow in our internal Certified AI system are built but not in production.
Proposal automation turns measurements and a chosen scope into a branded, multi-option proposal in minutes, using your price book, and can carry an accepted proposal through e-signature and payment. A person sets prices and approves every proposal before it goes out.
Conversion Website
This site is one (analytics and ad pixels not yet switched on). Earlier contractor lead pages were built the same way.
A conversion website is a fast, crawlable site whose job is to turn visitors into conversations: it captures each inquiry with its source and campaign, routes it into the CRM and follow-up automatically, and reports which pages and channels produce real leads.
AI Receptionist
In development for Certified Leadz's own line. Not live yet, we'll change this label when it is answering real calls.
An AI receptionist answers the business phone line first, identifies itself as an assistant, handles routine questions, captures who is calling and why, and transfers the call, or books a callback, when a person is needed. Every call ends as a logged record with a summary.

What Should a Roofing Company Automate First?
A roofer's order of operations for automation: lead response, estimate follow-up, proposals, recruiting and invoices, and what should stay human.
What AI Should Not Automate in a Sales Business
Where AI belongs in a sales process and where it doesn't: the decisions we keep human in every system we build, and the rule we use to tell the difference.
Home Improvement Sales: straight answers
Does this work for solar or permanent lighting?
The systems are built around the sales motion, paid leads, setters, closers, in-home or virtual appointments, rather than one product. The quoting piece is the part that is product-specific, and we've built it for roofing and permanent lighting.
Can you work with the CRM we already use?
If it has an API or accepts webhooks, almost certainly. We confirm access before scoping.
