The Three Calls Drywall Contractors Can't Afford to Miss

Each one is a different kind of revenue — and each one goes to a competitor the moment it hits voicemail.

💧

Water damage insurance calls

Water damage calls are a race. The homeowner calls three contractors — you, the guy down the street, and whoever Google shows them first. The first one to pick up and sound professional gets the job. Orbit picks up in two rings and asks the right insurance intake questions. You get the SMS. You call back with the claim number already captured. You win the job.

🏗️

GC callback calls

When a general contractor calls a sub and hits voicemail, they move on. They have a project to manage and four other subs on their list. Missing a GC call doesn't just cost you one job — it costs you the referral relationship. Orbit answers, identifies the GC, gets the project details, and sends you a RELATIONSHIP-flagged SMS immediately so you know to call back before anyone else does.

🏢

Commercial bid calls

Commercial drywall bids can be $20,000–$200,000 jobs. The decision-maker who calls to get a sub's bid is evaluating you from the first ring. Voicemail is a disqualifier. Orbit answers professionally, captures the project scope, timeline, and contact info, and sends you the details flagged HIGH VALUE — so you can call back prepared to compete.

How Orbit Works for Drywall Contractors

Four steps. Takes 5 minutes to set up. Works from day one.

1
Forward your business number to Orbit

Two minutes to set up. Forward always, on busy, or after X rings. Orbit answers under 2 rings with your company name — not a generic answering service greeting.

2
Orbit identifies the call type and asks the right questions

Water damage call? Orbit asks about the damage source, affected rooms, insurance claim status, and timeline. GC referral call? Orbit identifies them, captures the project, and flags it for immediate callback. Commercial bid? Orbit gets the scope, square footage, and contact. Different call type — different intake questions.

3
You get an SMS within 60 seconds

Every call ends with an SMS: caller name, call type, key intake details, callback number, and priority flag. Insurance and GC calls go out immediately. You decide when to call back — but you always know what you're calling back about.

Call back ready to confirm — not to re-qualify

You already have the claim number, the adjuster's name, the affected rooms, and the timeline. You call back knowing the full picture. That's the difference between winning the job in 3 minutes and spending 10 minutes re-asking what Orbit already captured.

What Drywall Contractors Get Called About

Orbit knows the intake questions for each drywall call type — so you receive a complete summary, not just a name and number.

All information delivered via SMS within 60 seconds of the call ending.

The ROI of Never Missing an Insurance Call

Water damage drywall jobs are the highest-margin, most time-sensitive calls you get. Here's the math on missing three of them per month.

3
extra $5,000 insurance jobs captured per month by never missing a call
$180K
additional revenue per year — $15,000/month in captured jobs
156x
ROI — $180,000 return on $1,152/year in Orbit fees

Orbit costs $1,152/year. One water damage job you captured instead of a competitor covers more than 4 years of Orbit. The math is not close — and that's before you count the GC relationships that stay intact because you always call back same day.
