Built for garage door techs out on service calls.
AI receptionist and missed-call text-back for garage door companies. When you're mid-install or under a door, Helm answers the call you missed, finds out what's wrong, and texts you a qualified lead.
A stuck door is an urgent call you can't always take.
A homeowner whose door won't open is stuck in their garage and calling down the list until someone answers. If you're under a door spring on another job, that's a lead lost to the next company. Helm answers, finds out what the door is doing, and sends you the details so you can get out there.
How Helm works for garage door companies.
No new phone system, no app. Helm sits behind the number you already have and goes to work the moment a call goes unanswered.
The call comes in
A customer calls and you can't pick up because you're under a door spring. Helm catches it through conditional call forwarding, so nothing changes on their end.
Helm answers in seconds
Before they move on to the next company, Helm texts the caller back (or answers by voice) and starts the conversation.
It asks the right questions
Helm finds out what's wrong, gets the address, and asks for a couple of times that work, one question at a time. It never quotes a price or promises a time it can't keep.
You get a lead ready to book
A clean summary lands in your phone and inbox: name, problem, address, timing, and the full conversation. You call back and book the work.
From missed call to booked job.
A real exchange in Helm's voice, and the lead that lands in your phone when it wraps.
Delivered by text and email the moment the conversation wraps.
Helm for garage door companies, answered.
Yes. When you're under a door or mid-install and can't pick up, Helm answers the call you miss and texts the caller back within seconds. It finds out what the door is doing (stuck, off the track, a broken spring, a dead opener), gets the address and a couple of times that work, and sends you a qualified lead by text and email. It works behind your existing number, so nothing changes for the customer.
Helm treats a stuck door as a priority and fast-tracks the details, getting the name and address quickly so you can respond. It commits to getting someone out as soon as possible without promising a specific arrival time, since only you can confirm that. The caller gets a fast, helpful reply instead of voicemail.
No. Helm doesn't quote prices for work it hasn't seen. It captures the symptom, like grinding, a snapped spring, or a door off the track, so you arrive knowing what you're walking into, and it tells the customer you'll confirm the number once you take a look. It leaves the scheduling decision to you.
No. Helm uses conditional call forwarding, so unanswered calls to your current number route to it automatically, with no new phone system or app. You keep your number, and it works with Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. Verizon users turn off carrier voicemail first, which setup covers.
Helm starts at $75/month on the Capture plan: missed-call text-back, lead qualification, and lead summaries by text and email for up to 100 conversations a month. Convert is $249/month and adds a 24/7 AI voice receptionist and unlimited SMS conversations. All plans are billed monthly with no contract.
