Automation for contractors in Toronto

Automation for contractors means the admin behind each job runs without you: the quote follow-up goes out on schedule, the supplier order goes in the day the job sells, and the customer's details land in Jobber and QuickBooks without anyone re-typing them. Lazer Lab builds these automations for Toronto trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and renovation.

We build it, host it, monitor it, and fix it when it breaks, for a flat monthly fee. Fixes are free for as long as the plan runs. Most builds go live in 1-4 weeks; a Core build takes 1-3.

You keep the tools you have. No new software for you or the crew to learn.

The admin that follows you home

You price the job in the driveway and promise a quote by tonight. Then the phone rings, the crew needs an answer, and the quote goes out Thursday. The customer booked someone else Tuesday. None of it is a system. It's you, remembering.

Leads go cold. The call comes in while you're under a sink, and by the time you reply they've booked another contractor.
Nobody called the supplier. The order that had to go out today is still in your head at 9pm.
The quote you forgot. You meant to follow up Tuesday. You found it Thursday. Job's gone.
Copy-paste all day. Same customer info from email to spreadsheet to Jobber, by hand, with two typos.
Data entry at 11pm. Admin only fits after the real work, so it eats your nights.

The quote follow-up, step by step

One automation is one trigger and one finished outcome, and nobody touches the middle. For an HVAC or plumbing shop, the quote follow-up looks like this:

01Trigger: a quote goes out from Jobber.

02Day 2, no reply: the customer gets a short follow-up from your email address, written from the details of their quote.

03Day 5, still quiet: a second nudge goes out, and the quote joins a list you can check from the truck.

04The customer replies: the follow-ups stop, the thread sits in your inbox, and the job status updates in Jobber.

05Outcome: the automation sends both follow-ups whether or not you remember the quote exists. You spend your time on customers who answer.

Built on Jobber, QuickBooks, and Google Calendar

Supplier orders run on the same pattern. Marking a job sold in Jobber triggers the rest: the materials order goes to your supplier, the install date lands on Google Calendar, the customer gets a timeline, and the job record updates. If the supplier goes quiet, the automation chases them and flags you.

None of this requires new software. We build on what you run now: Jobber, QuickBooks, Gmail or Outlook, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Calendly, Stripe, and most other tools contractors use. If we ever suggest changing a tool, it's because your setup blocks the automation.

Your accounts, logins, and data stay yours. The automations run on our servers but connect to your accounts, and we keep no copy of your data. Cancel anytime; everything winds down with no exit fees.

Results we can verify

The numbers we publish come from Sauna Depot, the engagement we can verify end to end. Automations there handle about 80% of everyday requests: customer emails, quotes, and routine replies. Re-typing between apps: zero. Quotes and routine replies go out the same day, while the lead is still warm.

Our client list also includes RI Landscaping and Tolis Automotive. We're based in Toronto and work with clients anywhere.

What it costs

Core is the entry point: $1,500 setup plus $599 a month, CAD. That covers one connected process, the quote follow-up or the supplier order, live in 1-3 weeks. We host it, monitor it, and fix it when it breaks; every fix is included.

Growth runs $1,299 a month plus $2,500 setup and covers up to 4 live automations, so the quote follow-up and the supplier order can run side by side. A 12-month term waives the setup fee. Rates are locked for your first 12 months, and you can cancel anytime with no exit fees.

We confirm the final number on a 20-minute call. Bring the process that eats the most hours. If automation won't pay for itself there, we'll say so. Book the 20-minute call.

Questions about this

Do I have to replace Jobber or QuickBooks?

No. The automation connects to what you already run. Jobber stays your job board, QuickBooks stays your books, and we move the details between them so nobody re-types a customer's name three times. Your accounts and logins stay under your control.

I run a two-person crew. Is this worth it at my size?

Headcount matters less than the bottleneck. If you can name one process that eats your evenings, late quote follow-ups or orders you re-type by hand, Core covers it: $1,500 setup plus $599 a month, cancel anytime. The real commitment is one setup fee and one month.

What stops the AI from sending a customer a bad quote?

Checkpoints. Anything the automation isn't sure about stops for your sign-off instead of guessing, and every run is logged where you can see it. If something slips through, we fix it, and there's no invoice.

Can you automate my phones too?

Phone and voice AI is Telvo, our sister company (telvo.ai). Lazer Lab handles what happens after the call: the quote, the follow-up, the supplier order, the books.
