AI Automation for Tilers in North County San Diego

Stop losing tile jobs because you were on your knees with a wet saw when the lead came in. I build simple AI systems that answer, quote, and book for you.

Quick Answer

Lead Catcher for Tile Quotes

Website form, Google LSA, Yelp, Thumbtack, Instagram DM — all funneled into one AI that asks the right tile-specific questions (shower vs floor, substrate, demo needed) and hands you a hot lead ready to close.

Follow-Up That Actually Closes

Most tilers lose 40% of quoted jobs to silence. AI sends smart follow-ups at day 2, 5, and 10 in your voice — not spammy template junk. Books the job while you're grouting the last one.

FAQ

How much does AI automation for a tile business cost?

Build is $100/hr, usually 4–10 hours for a full lead-to-booking system. No retainer, no monthly lock-in. You own it.

Can AI really quote tile jobs accurately?

It gives range quotes based on your rules (e.g. $12–18/sqft install, $8/sqft demo) to qualify budget. Final pricing still comes from you after the site visit — AI just filters out tire-kickers.

I'm a one-man tile operation in Encinitas — is this overkill?

Opposite. Solo tilers benefit most. You can't stop mid-thinset to answer texts. AI handles intake so you bid only the jobs worth bidding.

Will it work with my existing CRM or just a phone number?

Both. If you use Jobber, Housecall Pro, or nothing at all, I'll plug it in. Most tilers I set up just use Google Calendar + SMS — dead simple.

How long until the AI is answering my tile leads?

Usually live within a week. I do the build locally in Solana Beach, you approve the voice and pricing rules, we flip the switch.

What if a customer asks something the AI doesn't know?

It hands off to you cleanly with a summary. No hallucinated grout specs, no fake promises. AI knows its lane.

Hey — I'm PJ

I'm based in Encinitas. I've built these systems for contractors up and down the 5 corridor — Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Del Mar, RB. Tile guys especially get crushed by missed leads because the work is so hands-on.

Text me what's broken about your lead flow. I'll tell you straight up if AI fixes it or if you just need a better voicemail. $100/hr when we build, zero pressure before that.
