The North American window and door market hit $64 billion in 2023 and is growing to $83 billion by 2029. More homeowners are investing in window and door replacements than ever before.

Lavin sends these high-intent leads directly to contractors. These homeowners have filled out detailed forms, shared project details, and are actively looking for quotes.

The challenge is competition. Lavin sends the same lead to several contractors in the same area. The business that contacts the homeowner first usually gets the job.

Picture this: you’re on-site measuring windows when a Lavin lead lands in your CRM. You call back two hours later, only to hear the homeowner has already booked three estimates and isn’t taking any more calls.

The cost of a slow response on Lavin leads

Lavin sends leads to multiple contractors simultaneously. The homeowner isn't waiting around hoping you'll call back. They're actively comparing options and booking estimates with whoever responds first.

Industry research shows calling a lead within five minutes makes you 21x more likely to qualify them compared to waiting thirty minutes. But here's what most contractors don't realize: the difference between one minute and five minutes is huge.

According to InsideSales, responding in the first minute boosts conversions by 391% compared to slower responses. That first-minute advantage matters more than any sales pitch.

The window is smaller than you think:

After 5 minutes, your chances of meaningful contact drop by 10x. After 10 minutes, the homeowner has probably spoken to two other contractors. After an hour, they've often made their decision.

Lavin delivers leads fast. Your response speed determines whether you win the job.

How voice AI for contractors handles Lavin leads

A Voice AI agent creates an automated system that responds to Lavin leads without human intervention.

Here's what happens:

• Lavin sends a new lead to your CRM. Could be windows, doors, or both. The homeowner submitted their information minutes ago.

• Your voice AI platform detects the new lead instantly through CRM integration.

• Within 30-60 seconds, the AI voice agent calls the homeowner's number.

• When they answer, they hear a natural conversation: "Hi, this is calling from Premier Windows. You just requested a quote for window replacement. I'd like to help schedule your free in-home estimate. Are you available this week?"

• The AI discusses their project needs, answers basic questions about your services, and accesses your calendar in real-time.

• It books the appointment based on their availability and your schedule.

• The homeowner gets a confirmation text. The appointment appears in your calendar. You get a notification with all the lead details.

Time from lead arrival to booked appointment? Usually under 3 minutes. While you're finishing up a job site, your calendar is filling with qualified appointments.

Why voice AI beats traditional calling methods

Manual calling slows everything down and quietly costs you jobs.

You could try calling leads yourself between jobs. Reality check: you're installing windows, meeting customers, and driving to supply houses. When leads come in, you're unavailable. By the time you're free to call, the opportunity is gone.

Hiring someone to manage calls seems logical. Here's what actually happens. That person handles maybe 25-30 calls on a good day. During peak season, Lavin might send 40-50 leads weekly. The queue builds. Response time stretches from minutes to hours. Some leads never get called at all.

Compare that to voice AI for window and door dealers:

Coverage: Works 24/7, including evenings and weekends when many homeowners prefer to talk. Never takes breaks or sick days. Available the moment leads arrive.

Capacity: Handles unlimited simultaneous conversations. Ten leads could arrive in ten minutes, and all get called immediately. No queue. No backlog.

Consistency: Delivers the same professional greeting and qualification process every time. No variations based on mood, energy, or experience level.

Speed: Calls every lead within seconds. Not minutes. Not hours. Seconds.

Follow-up: Automatically tries again if the homeowner doesn't answer. Manages callbacks without anyone remembering to do it.

Voice AI makes those multiple attempts automatically. Learn more about how voice AI automates calls without manual tracking.

Setting up voice AI with your Lavin leads

Getting AI voice bots running with Lavin takes 2-3 weeks, not months.

Week 1: Connect your systems

The AI integrates with wherever Lavin sends your leads. Most window and door companies use CRMs like JobNimbus, Improveit 360, or LeadPerfection. Integration happens through APIs. No rebuilding your tech stack.

Week 1-2: Configure for your business

Tell the AI what you offer: window services, door services or both. Share your service area, your availability for estimates, and the questions you want homeowners to answer before booking.

The system adapts to how you work. It learns what counts as a qualified lead, when you can take appointments, and where to route leads that don’t match your criteria.

Week 2: Test everything

Run test calls to verify quality. Make sure the AI sounds natural discussing window and door projects. Confirm appointments are booked correctly with proper details. Adjust scripts based on results.

Week 3: Launch

Go live with real Lavin leads. Monitor initial calls closely. Refine based on actual homeowner interactions. Scale to full automation once proven.

After setup, the system runs itself. New Lavin lead arrives, AI calls automatically, appointment gets booked, or lead gets qualified for follow-up.

Many contractors start with AI handling initial contact and appointment setting. Your sales team focuses on running estimates and closing deals. As you see results, you can expand to other use cases like automating appointment scheduling for roofing contractors for service calls and follow-ups.

• Scales with your business: Whether you're getting 10 Lavin leads monthly or 100, the system handles volume changes without hiring more staff. The difference between voice AI agents vs chatbots becomes clear when you need to handle phone conversations at scale.

Real impact on your bottom line

Let's talk numbers. If you're buying Lavin leads at $75 each and closing 25% of them, you're paying $300 per closed deal before counting labor and materials.

Improve your conversion from 25% to 45% through faster response, and your cost per closed deal drops to $167. Same lead spend. 80% more closed deals.

On 50 monthly leads, that's the difference between 12 closed jobs and 22 closed jobs. At an average window project value of $8,000, that's $80,000 in additional monthly revenue.

These aren't theoretical numbers. Contractors using voice AI see this level of improvement because they're contacting leads when homeowners are still in decision mode. Companies implementing home remodeling voice AI report similar conversion improvements across all lead sources.
