Stedd Line live

This line is real. Call and try to stump it.

9:47 PM. The owner is off the clock. A storm just took down a customer's fence.

  1. Stedd: Thanks for calling! This is the front desk. How can I help with your fence project tonight?
  2. Caller: The storm just took out my back fence. I need it replaced pretty soon.
  3. Stedd: Sorry about that, we can help. Is it wood, vinyl, or aluminum?
  4. Caller: Wood. About 80 feet along the back.
  5. Stedd: Got it, 80 feet of wood privacy. What's the address so I can confirm we cover your area?
  6. Caller: 142 Galloway Road.
  7. Stedd: Perfect, you're right in our area. You're all set. Mike gets everything the second we hang up, and you'll hear from him first thing in the morning.
  • 9:47 PM · Lead on Mike's phone before the caller hung up

2:14 PM. A homeowner finds the website while the crew is on a job.

  1. Visitor: Do you do aluminum pool fencing? I need about 120 feet.
  2. Stedd: We do. Pool-code aluminum is a specialty. Want me to set up a free on-site estimate?
  3. Visitor: Do you have anyone who can come look at it this week?
  4. Stedd: Mike keeps estimate slots open most afternoons. What's the best cell for you? He'll text you today to lock in a time.
  5. Visitor: 845 555 0142
  6. Stedd: Got it. Everything you told me is on Mike's phone now. Anything else about the yard I should pass along?

Estimate sent four days ago. No reply. Normally this $6,400 job quietly dies.

  1. Stedd · Day 2: Hi Dana! Just checking in on your fence estimate. Happy to answer any questions.
  2. (no reply): ...
  3. Stedd · Day 5: Hi Dana, following up on your fence estimate. Want Mike to call you to set a time?
  4. Dana: Oh, perfect timing. Yes, let's do it!
  5. Stedd: Got it, Mike will call you back within the hour with a time.

What's handled

Catch and Chase in Base. Keep and Revive in Pro.

Base recovers the jobs lost before and after the phone rings. Pro is the back office on top: reviews asked for, outcomes tracked, past customers reached.

CATCHBase

Every call, website chat, and web lead answered and qualified, 24/7.

Calls, website chat, web leads. Nights, weekends, mid-job. Stedd answers in your shop's name, qualifies the caller, and your phone buzzes with a tap-to-call alert the moment a real lead lands. Missed-call text-back switches on once carrier verification clears.

CHASEBase

Quotes followed up until they answer.

Most shops never follow up on a sent quote. Stedd follows up at day 2 and day 5, in your voice, until the job is won or lost, and flags the reply to you. This is the found money.

KEEPPro

Every finished job becomes a review request.

Included in Pro. A review request goes out after every job. Happy customers get your Google link. Unhappy ones get caught first: a low score goes to you for a callback before it goes anywhere public.

REVIVEPro

Past customers brought back.

Rolling out to Pro shops. Win-back outreach to the customers who already paid you once: seasonal reminders and it's-been-a-while notes. We tell you when it is switched on for your shop.

Pro also tracks outcomes: which leads became jobs and which quotes closed, confirmed with you every week.

How it works

One call to start, one tap a week.

You change almost nothing about how you run your shop. The jobs you were missing just start landing on your phone.

Confirm open items in one tap. Unconfirmed never counts as money.

Every Monday at 7am: calls answered, leads captured, quotes chased, and the confirmed dollars recovered. On Pro, reviews earned and confirmed outcomes too. You will know exactly what Stedd is worth. If it ever stops being worth it, you'll see that too. That's the deal.

For whoever runs the office

We back up the person holding it all together.

In a lot of shops one person runs the office: a spouse, a partner, an office manager, or the owner at 9pm from the truck. Stedd takes the after-hours calls, the quote chasing, and the "did that job ever close" tracking off that person's plate. They stay in charge of the shop. They just stop being the only one on it.

Pricing

Two plans. One add-on. No fine print.

Base gets you found and never misses a lead. Pro is the back office for shops that run on a notebook or a phone. Both are flat and month to month, with no per-call or per-lead fees.

Pro
from $899/ month, quoted per shop

The back office for shops that run on a notebook or a phone. Everything in Base, plus:

  • Review requests after every job, with the unhappy-customer catch: a low score goes to you first, not to Google.
  • Outcome tracking. Which leads became jobs and which quotes closed, confirmed with you every week.
  • Past-customer win-back outreach. Rolling out to Pro shops now.

Add-on: managed ads. If you want the phone to ring more, not just get answered, we can run your ads. Priced as a management fee plus your media at cost, with no markup on the media. Talk to Will for pricing.
The founding offer. The first 10 shops get the Base rate locked at $449 for as long as they stay, the 60-day guarantee, a direct text line to Will, and a website tune-up. Founding is a lock and a guarantee, not a discount. The guarantee: if Stedd does not recover more than it costs in your first 60 days, it is free. Recovered means jobs you confirm as won that came through a Stedd channel. See the founding offer

A part-time office hand at $15 an hour, 15 hours a week, that's $900 a month and she leaves at 5. One recovered job usually covers Stedd for the month.

Questions

Straight answers

Do I need a new phone number?
No. You keep your number. We set up forwarding so Stedd catches the calls you miss, your after hours, or every call if you want your hands free. Nothing changes for your customers.
How is this different from an answering service?
An answering service runs $250 to 300 a month (Ruby, Smith.ai) and takes a message. You still call back, book, and chase, usually from the truck. Lead platforms charge a fee on every lead and sell the same homeowner to four of your competitors. A marketing agency runs $1K to 5K a month (SparkToro, 2025) for a retainer, a report, and a meeting, and the phone still rings out while you're on a job site. Stedd runs your front office in your name, and you own all of it. Your number, your customers, your data, your brand.
Do I have to learn new software?
No. There is nothing to log in to, nothing to learn, and no dashboard to keep up to date. Stedd runs in the background and reports to you on Monday. If you already use Jobber or Housecall Pro, Stedd works alongside it and nothing changes in your scheduling. If you run on a notebook, that is fine too.
What happens when it gets a question it can't answer?
It never guesses. It takes a message, tells the caller a person will follow up, and alerts you right away with the recording. You close the loop. Your customers never get a made-up answer.
Will callers know it's not a person?
It sounds natural, and most callers never ask. If someone asks directly, it's straight with them. It says it's the office's assistant and offers a real callback on the spot. No games with your customers.
What does setup look like?
One 20-minute call with us. Your line is live and answering on day one. In week one we wire your lead alerts, your scripts, and your Monday Report. Texting switches on once carrier verification clears, which we handle.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Month to month, cancel with an email. If it isn't obviously paying for itself, you shouldn't keep it.
Do I pay per call or per lead?
No. One flat monthly rate. No per-call fees, no per-lead fees, no cut of the job.
Base or Pro?
Base if you want every call answered and every quote chased, with the Monday Report keeping score. Pro if you also want a review request after every job and a confirmed weekly record of which jobs closed. Most shops start on Base and move up when the office gets busy.
So who actually books the estimate?
You do, in about thirty seconds. Stedd answers, qualifies, and puts everything on your phone: name, number, job, timing. You tap to call or text back a time. Your calendar stays yours, nothing double-books your week, and a lead that lands while you're on a roof is captured and waiting instead of gone.
From the founder

Why I built Stedd

WWill, founder of Stedd

Most jobs in the trades are won or lost in what happens after the call: the quote nobody followed up on, the review nobody asked for, the past customer nobody brought back. I have spent a decade building exactly those follow-up systems, the lifecycle machine that turns leads into paying customers. I built Stedd around how the trades actually win work, and we run the whole thing for you so you can stay on the tools.
