So they hang up — and call the next guy. Mei for Concrete (say hi to Maria) answers in English or Spanish, captures the intake, gets the photo by SMS, and texts the boss a clean summary the second the call ends. One captured lead a month is a $4,000–$8,000 job paying for Mei twice over.

Call as a homeowner who needs concrete work — in English or Spanish. Maria takes the intake, asks for a photo, and texts the boss a clean English summary.

Residential concrete averages $4,000–$8,000 a job. Even at $400/month of margin on a single recovered lead, Maria is paying her rent.
And she's not just answering — she's filing a full intake the boss can quote from.
Maria is the persona Mei takes on for trade contractors. She's been answering phones at concrete companies for twenty years. She knows what a driveway intake sounds like in the first thirty seconds. She knows the difference between a slab for someone's AC unit and a slab that needs an engineer.
She speaks fluent Spanish in the formal-usted register older callers expect — never switches to "tú," never quotes a price, never promises a date. Her job is to capture a lead the boss can call back on and book a free estimate.
She doesn't perform service. She does her job.
Driveway, patio, sidewalk, slab, pool deck, steps, retaining wall, repair, demo, stamped & decorative. Maria maps what the caller says — in English or Spanish — to the right kind of job.
Caller doesn't know the exact street number? Maria takes the cross-street and the city. Boss makes the call: drive out, or get more before the visit.
"Two-car driveway." "Como veinte por treinta." "A pad for my AC unit." Maria captures it the way it was said — the boss does the conversion at the site.
Existing concrete to remove, or fresh ground? Drives the boss's first decision before he loads the truck.
This week, next month, planning ahead, ASAP because the sidewalk crack got a city citation. Maria reads the urgency and flags it for the boss's queue.
For repair, crack, sunken-slab calls: Maria sends a text on the spot. Caller texts back a couple pictures. The boss sees the damage before he rolls out — and quotes better when he gets there.
If the caller spoke Spanish and wants the callback in Spanish, Maria flags it. Your bilingual office gal — or you with a translator app — picks up that lead specifically.
"Mi vecino Juan dijo que ustedes hicieron su cochera." Maria captures the referral by name. The boss knows where his work is coming from and who to thank.
Maria is an answering service that takes really good notes. The boss makes every real decision. That's not a limitation — it's the bar that keeps your CSLB clean and your reputation honest.
Not even a range. Not even "depends on size, but…" The boss does free estimates — that's the deal. Cracking the wall once is how contractors get reviewed for "told me $5k, charged me $9k."
Pour dates require deposit + permit + weather. Maria offers "the boss will call you back this week" — not "we can be there Tuesday."
Rebar, mesh, thickness, finish — boss decides on site. Maria doesn't sell a job she can't deliver.
Out-of-area, weird scope, foundation work that needs an engineer — Maria captures everything and flags it. You decide what to take.
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. No setup fee, no contract.
Get set up →Less than one missed weekly lead. Average residential concrete job is $4,000–$8,000. Maria pays for herself the first time she captures a Spanish caller who'd have hung up on your English voicemail.
Less than your truck insurance. Compared to hiring a bilingual office gal ($35–50k/year), Maria is what you can afford right now to stop losing leads tonight.
CSLB-clean by design. Maria does not quote prices, set bid scope, or make commitments on your behalf. Every estimate is yours to give. Every callback is yours to make. Every pour is yours to schedule. Maria captures the intake and gets out of your way.
Built by Rightway in California. Made for contractors who'd otherwise hire a bilingual receptionist and can't justify $40k/year for the volume they have today.
