You're on a ladder cutting in trim, roller in hand, and your phone buzzes. By the time you climb down and call back, that homeowner already has two quotes from painters who answered on the first ring.
Painting jobs take days, sometimes weeks. You're occupied from the moment you tape off a room until the final coat dries. Interior jobs mean you're inside someone's house with no time to step away. Exterior jobs put you on scaffolding where your phone is the last thing you can reach. Estimate requests come in waves - especially in spring and summer - and homeowners expect fast responses. A lead that doesn't hear back within a few hours moves on. Your pipeline dries up not because your work isn't excellent, but because your response time can't compete. And when jobs finish, you're already packing up for the next one, never asking for the review that would bring in more work.
Curb doesn't just capture the initial inquiry - it follows up automatically if a lead goes quiet, keeping your estimate pipeline warm without you chasing anyone down.
The AI asks the right questions: interior or exterior, number of rooms or square footage, surface type, prep work needed, and timeline - giving you a complete picture before you call back.
When a job wraps, Curb automatically sends a review request to the homeowner. Your best marketing is a fresh coat of paint and a 5-star review to match.
Every call picked up on the first ring, whether you're cutting in ceilings or spraying an exterior.
Automatic text-back letting the homeowner know you're on a job and will follow up - no lead left hanging.
Website forms, lead aggregator emails, and direct inquiries all captured and organized in one place.
Instant notification when a high-value lead comes in - so a full-house exterior repaint doesn't sit unanswered.
After every completed job, a personalized review request goes out. More 5-star reviews means more estimates next season.
Leads flow directly into your CRM or estimating tool. No scribbled notes on paint lids, no lost phone numbers.
Every morning, a clean summary of yesterday's leads, follow-ups due, and jobs ready for review requests.
Post ideas from completed projects - color transformations, before-and-afters, and detail shots that keep your feed active.
When a homeowner calls back about the kitchen repaint quote from last week, Curb remembers the color, scope, and timeline.
Less than a day's worth of a part-time office assistant. A 24/7 AI operations layer that answers every call, follows up on estimates automatically, and requests reviews after every job. One recovered exterior paint job pays for Curb for the entire year.
