Nothing replaces a real conversation with you. Lantra is there for the moments you can't pick up: on a roof, under a sink, at dinner with your family, or asleep at 2 a.m. She answers every call 24/7, gets the details right, and hands each customer back to you. You keep your work-life balance, and no customer gets left hanging.
When you don't pick up by the 4th ring, or after 5 pm, Lantra answers in your company's name, gets the details, and sorts real jobs from spam.
Lantra books site visits into the open slots on your calendar. It never quotes a price or promises a date you didn't set.
A friendly text or call at day 2 and day 7 on quotes you sent, so jobs you bid don't go cold.
One text and email each evening, like "Lantra booked 3 estimates last night": who called, what they need, what's booked, and who's waiting on a callback.
Every call gets an instant recap text and email, and anything possibly urgent calls and texts you right away. For gas, fire or anyone hurt, Lantra tells the caller to get safe and call 911 or the gas company first. If a caller wants a human or Lantra gets stuck, the call goes to you.
Fill out one form and we set Lantra up for you. It runs on your after-hours and overflow calls only. Your number stays the same. After 14 days you get a report: calls caught, estimates booked, and estimated revenue. If it didn't pay for itself, walk away and owe nothing.
No plans to pick. Each month you're billed at the tier your actual Lantra call minutes landed in. You never pay for calls you didn't get.

Setup and your 14-day pilot are free. We write your call scripts, connect your calendar, and train Lantra on your trade. Keep it only if it's catching calls you'd have missed. *Each tier assumes about 3 minutes per call. Your invoice lists every call and minute, and spam calls are never billed. Month to month, cancel by email.
Call answering, booking, quote follow-up, a recap of every call, urgent alerts, daily summary, and a monthly tune-up report you can reply to with changes.
Call Lantern is run by Steven Young, a construction professional with 15 years in the civil and electrical field. He leads teams across North America. He built this service because contractors lose real jobs to unanswered calls, and the fix should be simple to set up and easy to control.
If they ask, Lantra tells them. Most callers just want a real answer and an appointment.
It doesn't guess. It says it will have the owner call right back, takes the details, and texts you right away. Callers who ask for a person get transferred or flagged for a callback.
No. It books the estimate. It only shares numbers you've approved, like a trip charge.
No. Your carrier forwards unanswered and after-hours calls to Lantra.
Nothing, and no card is needed. On day 14 you get a scorecard (calls caught, estimates booked, estimated value) and a payment link, plus which price tier you would have paid based on your pilot minutes. If you don't continue, it switches off.
That's expected. You're billed at the tier your actual usage fits each month, so slow months cost less and busy months move up automatically. Every invoice shows your minutes and calls.
No. Try the demo with the quick form on this page, and handle everything else by email or text.
Reply to any summary email or text with what to change, like new hours or a service you stopped offering. It's updated within 1 business day.
No. Lantra is not an emergency service and doesn't replace 911. For gas smells, fire, smoke or anyone hurt, she tells the caller to get to safety and call 911 or the gas company first, then alerts you right away. You get a recap of every call and decide what needs a response.
Yes. Lantra handles solar sales and service calls, including urgent ones like inverter or battery alarms and storm damage to panels. We also work with general contractors, concrete, landscaping, pest control, garage doors, painting and other field-service businesses.
Don't take our word for it. Fill in the quick form below, then call and pretend you're a customer with a leak, a dead furnace, or a remodel question. Lantra answers with your business name and emails you the kind of recap you'd get.
Tell us your business name and Lantra will answer the demo line as you, then email you the same recap your customers' calls would produce.
4 short steps, about 3 minutes. We build your Lantra from this, send you a test number within 1 business day, and you call it yourself before any real calls go to it. No calls with us, and no card needed.
Got it. We'll email you within 1 business day with next steps to start your free 14-day pilot.
