In San Jose, Whoever Calls Back First Gets the Job
Build My Pulse builds a done-for-you AI system for San Jose contractors that answers calls, books estimates, and follows up on quotes in two weeks.
Homeowners from Willow Glen remodels to Almaden Valley additions move fast in San Jose, often texting a photo of the problem and expecting a same-day reply. High labor costs and packed job schedules mean a crew member stepping off a ladder to answer the phone is a real cost, but an unanswered call is a lead evaluating someone else's bid within the hour. Some San Jose contractors prefer running the system themselves through Pulse's $500/month self-serve plan. Most, though, would rather have it built and tested for them, which is exactly what the two-week Build My Pulse process covers.
We also deploy Pulse for contractor operators across California, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando.
The problem
The daily friction for San Jose Contractor teams
Calls and texts about new projects go unanswered while crews are focused on active jobs, losing bids to faster-responding competitors.
Quotes sent for kitchen and bath remodels sit without follow-up, letting decisions drag out until the homeowner picks someone else.
Coordinating estimate visits by phone eats into hours that should go toward billable work.

FAQ
How fast can we be up and running?
Two weeks. We configure the system around your services and calendar in week one, then test and go live in week two, so you are answering calls and booking estimates by the end of the sprint.
Do I need the full build, or can I run Pulse myself?
Pulse offers a self-serve option at $500 a month if you want to handle setup on your own. Build My Pulse is for contractors who'd rather our team configure, connect, and test everything for them.
Can it handle high-value remodel inquiries appropriately?
Yes. We configure it with your service menu and typical project scope so it asks the right qualifying questions before booking, and escalates complex conversations to your team.
What happens if it can't answer something?
It flags your team by text right away with the caller's details, so a person can jump in quickly without the lead feeling stuck.
Do we have to sign a long-term contract?
No. It's a two-week done-for-you build with an ongoing maintenance plan, and we adjust the system as your business and pricing change.
