You're already losing $40,000 a year to missed calls. Porter costs $4,764. Your call.

Here's the part nobody talks about.

Every contractor knows they miss calls. Nobody wants to think about what those missed calls are actually worth.

So let's do the math you've been avoiding.

You miss, on average, one call per workday. Might be more on job-site days. Might be less on Sundays. Call it five a week. Conservative.

Of those five weekly missed calls, maybe two are real prospects — people actively shopping, ready to spend. The other three were telemarketers or wrong numbers.

Of those two real prospects, you close one in a normal week (the other hires somebody faster).

One lost job a week. 52 a year.

If your average job is $4,000 — and for most residential contractors it's higher — that's $208,000 a year walking to your competitor.

For a solo operator, $208,000/year is the difference between getting by and getting rich.

For a small crew, it's three more employees and a newer truck.

For a real business, it's the thing that separates you from the guys who'll be out of business in three years.

And you're paying that cost right now. Every week. Silently.

The bill just doesn't come in an envelope. It comes in the form of flat quarters, stagnant revenue, and wondering why the phone isn't ringing more — when the truth is the phone IS ringing, you're just not able to answer it.

Here's what you get for $397/month:

• Porter answers every call. Even at 2am. Even on a Sunday. Even while you're at your kid's soccer game. While your competitors are letting calls roll to voicemail, Porter is booking the callback. By Monday morning, you've got six qualified leads in your dashboard — and your competitor's phone is still lighting up with people who've already hired you.
• Porter qualifies the caller like your best dispatch guy would — and he never has a bad day. He knows the right questions to ask for YOUR trade. He knows what a Tier 1 insulation job sounds like versus a tire-kicker. He captures the scope, the urgency, the address, the budget signals — all before you even know the phone rang.
• Every call becomes a clean lead card, not a voicemail. No more "call me back, I was the guy with the thing" messages. You open your dashboard and see: name, number, job type, urgency, tier, scope. Everything your sales brain needs to decide whether to call back in 5 minutes or 5 hours.
• Red alerts tell you when leads are going cold. Miss a callback window and Porter pulses red until you handle it. The contractor who calls back fast wins 78% of the time. Porter makes sure that contractor is you.
• Every morning you get a debrief email. 15 seconds of reading: who called yesterday, who's still waiting, what's urgent. It's the difference between showing up to your day and having your day already mapped out.
• One flat $397/month bill. No add-ons. Ever. Not for review automation. Not for "premium features." Not for advanced reporting. Not per-user. Not per-minute. Not per-lead. One bill. Everything included. Every contractor who signs up pays the same thing.
• No contracts. Cancel in one click. Because if Porter isn't working for you, we both deserve to know — and your business deserves to know fast.
• Made by a guy who got tired of watching his contractor friend lose calls. Not by a VC-backed SaaS company that needs to charge you more every quarter to hit revenue targets. Email support? You get me. Something broken? I fix it. Feature request? You don't get "we'll escalate it to product" — you get "okay, I'll build it this weekend."

You don't need a team of 15 tools to run a contractor business.

You just need someone good answering the phone.

That's Porter.

How Porter actually works.

From sign-up to first captured lead in under an hour.

1. Talk to Porter

   3 minutes

   Quick call to understand your business, verify fit, and answer any questions. Porter handles this part — the demo IS the product.

2. Onboarding call with Omar

   30 minutes

   We configure Porter for your specific trade, train him on your business details, set up your voice, your offers, and your callback preferences. You walk away with a live Porter instance.

3. Forward your phone line to Porter

   2 minutes

   One setting right on your phone — no calls to your carrier, no new equipment, no phone system changes. Just dial *72 + the Porter number you get during onboarding (iPhone and Android both support this natively in your Phone settings too).

4. Porter starts answering calls immediately

   Every incoming call is qualified, every lead lands in your dashboard with full context, every morning you wake up to your debrief email. Red alerts tell you when leads need a callback.

5. Call them back. Win the jobs. Grow your business.

   Porter doesn't close sales — you do. But you'll have more leads, cleaner data, and zero missed calls to work with.

"But I'm already paying for Jobber (or Housecall Pro)..."

Right. Let's look at what you're actually paying for.

Prices verified April 2026 from each company's public pricing pages.

Here's the thing.

Jobber and Housecall Pro are great at what they were built for — running established service businesses with dedicated office staff, quoting, invoicing, scheduling, dispatch.

If that's you, stay where you are. Seriously. Porter isn't trying to replace a real field service platform.

Porter is built for the other 70% of contractors.

The ones who don't have a CRM. The ones who manage leads in their head, on the back of receipts, or in a messy spreadsheet. The ones who don't need truck-routing and Gantt chart scheduling — they need someone to answer the damn phone and keep track of who's hot.

That's Porter.

If you want Porter AND Jobber? Great. They play nice. Porter even has a one-click handoff that sends your Won leads straight into Jobber as new jobs.

But if you're picking just one tool because you're a small shop that just wants leads to stop falling through the cracks? Porter costs the same as Housecall Pro's essentials tier — and actually does the job you hired it for.

Why I built this.

I've been a contractor for years. Tile, paint, insulation, carpentry — if you can get your hands dirty doing it, I've done it at least once. So I know the feeling of watching your phone ring while you're mid-project, hands covered in drywall mud, and thinking "I'll call them back in twenty minutes" — and then forgetting.

I watched my buddy Rob — who runs an insulation company — do this every day. He's great at his job. He loses leads anyway. Not because he's bad with customers. Because the phone doesn't wait.

Every CRM I looked at was built for the OPPOSITE kind of contractor — the ones with office managers and dispatchers and "operations teams." Not for Rob. Not for me. Not for the 70% of us who are still answering our own phones between jobs.

So I built Porter.

He answers the phone when you can't. He asks the questions you'd ask if you had time. He keeps track of who's hot so you don't have to. He costs less than one lost job per year.

That's it. No VC money. No revenue targets. No quarterly price hikes. Just a tool that actually works for the contractor who's reading this right now.

Is Porter right for you?

Probably, if you're a contractor who:

• Runs the phone yourself (or through one person in the office, or with your spouse helping out)
• Doesn't have a CRM — or has one you hate and rarely use
• Is losing calls and knows it — maybe not the exact number, but you feel it
• Wants one flat monthly bill instead of nickel-and-diming your way to $500/month in add-ons
• Is in a residential service trade — insulation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, carpentry, landscaping, painting, tile, mechanic, handyman, you name it. If homeowners call you for help, Porter's for you.

Probably not, if you're a contractor who:

• Already has a full-time receptionist doing a great job (don't fix what's not broken)
• Is already running smoothly on ServiceTitan or a custom-built operations platform (you've moved past what Porter is designed for)
• Only gets 2–3 calls a week (honestly, you don't need Porter yet — call us in 18 months when you're busier)
• Needs complex dispatch and route optimization for a 15+ person crew covering a metro area (that's a different product)
• Wants to pay $39/month for software and doesn't mind managing 8 different add-ons to get basic functionality (stay with Jobber, it's built for that mindset)

If you're in the first list, keep reading.

If you're in the second list, I appreciate you giving Porter a look. It just isn't the fit, and I'd rather tell you that now than take your money and waste your time.

The 90-Day Porter Promise

Look. I can't prove Porter works for you in a brochure.

You have to actually USE it. With real callers. For long enough to see leads come in, leads close, and your business feel different.

So here's my promise — and I mean it:

Use Porter for 90 days.

If at any point during those 90 days you don't feel Porter has been the best money you've spent on your business this year, you tell me and I will:

• Refund every dollar you paid. The monthly fees, the setup fee, everything. Back on your card within 48 hours.
• Send you $500 out of my own pocket for wasting your time. Yeah, you read that right. If Porter didn't work for you, I owe you something for the hours you spent trying it.
• Help you transition to whatever you want to use instead. No charge. No hard feelings. I'll literally export your leads and help you get set up somewhere else.

I can make this promise because I've watched Porter work. Rob's insulation company captures leads Porter catches that Rob would've lost. It pays for itself in weeks, not months.

But I don't need you to believe me. I just need you to try it.

If I'm wrong about Porter working for your business, I deserve to pay. Fair?
