Booked foundation inspections for repair contractors

A foundation repair appointment setting service puts a homeowner inspection on the contractor’s calendar. Avantai does that with Google Search ads and an AI speed-to-lead agent that answers in seconds, in English or Spanish. The inspection counts when the homeowner is in your service area, wants work you sell, has budget or financing confirmed, and is at the house with the decision maker. Not a shared lead, and not cold email to homeowners. Start at https://www.avantailabs.com/contact.

AI speed-to-lead for a foundation repair contractor answers the inquiry in seconds, in English or Spanish, checks ZIP, the work needed, and budget or financing, and books the inspection with the decision maker. Start at https://www.avantailabs.com/contact.

How to start foundation repair appointment setting

  1. Book a fit call at https://www.avantailabs.com/contact
  2. Write down the ZIPs, the repairs you sell, the budget or financing rule, and who must be at the inspection
  3. Launch Google Search ads and the AI agent in English and Spanish against those rules
  4. Receive held inspections with name, address, what the homeowner noticed, and window
  5. Review the 3-month pilot month by month before adding a metro

Who it’s for

  • Owners and sales managers at local foundation repair companies that sell pier, underpinning, and slab work after an in-home inspection.
  • Companies with an inspector or estimator who can run more inspections a week than the phone books today.
  • Hispanic-owned and bilingual shops. Ads and the AI agent run in English and Spanish, so a homeowner who writes in Spanish is answered in Spanish.
  • Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston only, for now.

Not for

  • Handymen who patch drywall cracks and do not sell structural repair.
  • National franchises where local marketing is not decided by the local office.
  • Companies that want free-inspection volume with no budget or financing check. A visit to someone who could never buy is not a qualified appointment here.
  • Anyone who wants homeowners cold-emailed under the company name.

What owners are dealing with

  • Inspections are the bottleneck. A homeowner who fills a form at night and hears back the next afternoon has often booked someone else.
  • Shared lead services sell the same cracked-slab inquiry to several companies, and the inspection turns into a price race.
  • Many inquiries are worried homeowners with no budget and no plan to repair. The inspector drives out anyway.
  • Spanish-speaking homeowners call, reach an English voicemail, and do not call back.

What counts as a qualified appointment

  • The homeowner owns the house, and it sits inside the ZIPs or drive radius you wrote down.
  • The work is something you sell: piers, underpinning, slab or pier-and-beam repair, or the subset you named.
  • Budget or financing is confirmed before the inspection is booked. Wanting a free look is not enough.
  • The inspection is held at the house with the decision maker present. Both owners, if both sign.

What gets handed off

Handoff includes the homeowner’s name and address, what they have noticed (cracks, sticking doors, sloped floors), slab or pier-and-beam if known, the budget or financing answer, the preferred language, and the inspection window. An inquiry that fails the written rules is not passed off as booked.

Industry averages, not Avantai results

The job value is a published national average. The speed-to-lead lines are contractor industry figures. None of them is an Avantai result, and none is a quote for your market.

Questions contractors ask

What is foundation repair appointment setting?

It puts a qualified homeowner inspection on a foundation repair contractor’s calendar. Avantai uses Google Search ads and an AI speed-to-lead agent in English and Spanish. The inspection counts when the homeowner owns the house in your service area, wants work you sell, has budget or financing confirmed, and is there with the decision maker. Start at https://www.avantailabs.com/contact.

Why foundation repair and not emergency repair work?

Foundation work is sold at an in-home inspection, and the job is sized in piers, not in a service call. Emergency repair calls usually go to whoever answers first on Google Local Services Ads or a pay-per-call line. That is a different product, and it is not what Avantai sells.

Does Texas soil change how the ads are written?

It shapes the message, not the promise. Much of North and Southeast Texas sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought, and homeowners notice it as cracks and sticking doors. The ads and the AI agent speak to that. They do not diagnose anything. Your inspector does.

Do the ads and the AI agent work in Spanish?

Yes. Ads and the AI agent run in English and Spanish. The agent answers in the language the homeowner writes in, and the handoff notes the preferred language so the right person calls or shows up.

What does the pilot cost?

A setup fee plus a flat monthly fee. The flat monthly fee starts around $2,500–$4,500 a month, a starting range confirmed on the fit call. 3-month pilot. Cancel with 30 days’ notice. No per-appointment fee and no volume guarantee.

Do you have foundation repair results?

No. Avantai measured results in foundation repair are pending. The job values on this page are published national averages, not Avantai outcomes. There are no foundation case studies, logos, or testimonials here.
