Calls, answered
Answering every Fairview call, starting with the phone
Lithium Marketing puts an AI receptionist on the phones of Fairview contractors, so a call that comes in while you are on a roof or under a sink still ends in a booked visit or a text with the next step. It answers 24/7, asks the questions you set and hands a call to a real person under rules you choose.
Fairview takes up 3.09 square miles of land, and if your jobs also run into Troutdale, Gresham or Portland, much of your day is spent driving or working in someone else’s house with the phone in your pocket. The receptionist answers those calls the same way it would at 2 a.m., and custom AI automation can handle the follow-up texts and CRM entries that pile up after them.
What callers ask
What the receptionist asks, and what it books
Write down the questions your callers ask most: what you do, what a visit costs, when you can come and which cities you cover. The receptionist answers them from a knowledge base in your words.
For a garage door, water damage or other repair call, it also takes the address, what happened and how urgent it is. It then books the visit on your calendar, texts the caller the details and leaves a recording and transcript you can read.

Who is calling
Tenants, owners and callers from outside your area
In Fairview, 42.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, against 53.4% across Multnomah County. A call about a repair can come from a tenant who needs the landlord’s approval, so add a question to the script: who owns the home, and who pays?
The nearby cities include Troutdale, Gresham and, across the state line, Vancouver, Washington. List the ones you serve in the knowledge base, so a caller from outside your area gets a clear answer and not a booking you cannot take.

Trades in Multnomah County
Urgent calls for plumbers, estimate calls for roofers and painters
For a plumbing or HVAC company, one of the 171 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors in Multnomah County, the first rule to set is urgency: a burst pipe or a dead furnace goes to the on-call tech, and a dripping faucet gets booked for the next opening.
Roofers and painters set their rules around the estimate. With 81 roofing contractors and 146 painting contractors in Multnomah County, a homeowner who wants a price can try the next name, so the receptionist gets the address, the size of the job and a good time to look, then books the estimate before the call ends. A leaking roof can still ring straight through to you.

Setup
Getting the receptionist live on your Fairview number
Nothing goes live until you have approved the answers, and setup typically takes days.
Decide what each kind of call needs
You list the questions to ask for each job type and which calls go straight to a person, such as emergencies or existing customers.
Load the answers callers need
We load the jobs you take and the ones you don’t, how you handle quotes and what to say about emergencies, then you choose the voice callers hear.
Hook up bookings and follow-up texts
The receptionist writes each booking to your calendar and each caller’s details to your CRM, sends the caller a confirming text and rings the phone you choose for transfers.
Tune it from real calls
After the first week of real calls, we go through the recordings and transcripts with you and fix any answer that confused a caller.

Proof
Two businesses answering calls with Lithium’s AI
When a plumbing company’s emergency calls kept going to voicemail after hours, Lithium built it a custom AI phone system; the card shows what followed. Lithium’s AI receptionist also answers the phones at Smart Doors LLC, the garage door company whose website appears in the screenshot.

How does the receptionist learn my business?
From a knowledge base we build with you: your services, the cities you cover, your hours and the answers you want callers to hear. Before it takes a real call, you ring it yourself and flag anything that sounds wrong.
Can I read what was said on a call, and can callers reach a person?
Yes to both. Every call is recorded and transcribed, so you can read what the caller asked and how the receptionist answered. A caller who asks for a person, or a call that fits one of your transfer rules, is put through to whoever you name.
Is an AI receptionist worth it for a one-person shop?
Yes, and a one-person shop may get the most from it, since the person who would answer the phone is the one doing the job. The receptionist costs the same for one truck or ten and answers while you work, so the test is whether one extra booked job a month covers the fee.
Can you automate the office work that follows a call?
Yes. Lithium builds custom AI automation for repeat office tasks, such as reminder texts, review requests after a finished job, CRM updates, document handling and connecting tools like a POS system or a spreadsheet. A typical build takes one to two weeks once the work is mapped out.
What happens when two callers ring at once?
It answers both. The receptionist takes unlimited concurrent calls, so a second caller does not reach a busy signal while the first is still on the line.
Free action plan
Test the AI receptionist yourself, then plan your Fairview call script
Ring the demo number in the contact section and put a question to Lithium’s own AI receptionist. Then send the five questions your callers ask most and the calls you want put through to you, and a co-founder will turn them into a call script with you on a short video call.
