Use cases for home services and contractors
Office help for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, landscaping, pool and cleaning businesses. The owner approves every quote and message.
Read this first. The use cases in this category are about running the office side of a home-service business: missed calls, quotes, scheduling, invoices, reminders, paperwork and records. SI does not set prices, make promises, or give safety, repair, code or insurance advice, and it does not replace a licensed professional's judgment on the job. The owner or an authorized person reviews and approves every quote, price, schedule commitment and customer message before it goes out, and nothing here promises any job, timeline, savings or result. Licensing, advertising, deposit, permit and contract rules differ by state and city, so check yours. The business's license number and required notices come from the owner, not from SI. Texting customers is regulated, so get consent and honor opt-outs. Customer information is private and should only go into tools the business has checked. If something sounds like an emergency, such as gas, fire, smoke or flooding near electricity, it goes to a person and to 911 or the utility, never to SI. These pages are general information, not legal, safety or compliance advice, and not a guarantee of compliance with any rule.
