A holiday lighting answering service for a season that lasts six weeks.
Your whole year happens between November and New Year, and the calls come while you're up a ladder with a C9 run over your shoulder. Risacare texts every missed caller back from your own number with a link that books the install.
Why light installers pick Risacare
Six weeks, no second chances
A missed call in the last week of November is revenue that doesn't come back. Every one gets a text back immediately.
Both hands are on the run
Ladder, clips, and a line of C9s. Nothing has to be set down.
They book the install themselves
The caller taps your link and takes a slot on your connected calendar before the calendar fills.
$79/mo, month-to-month
Run it for the season and cancel in January. No contract and no annual lock-in.
Your Whole Season Happens in Six Weeks
Nearly all your calls land between early November and late December. Missing even a handful during that window is a meaningful chunk of your season's revenue.
You're on a Roof, Not Holding Your Phone
Installing string lights and rooflines means climbing and ladder work all day. Calls that come in while you're up top go straight to voicemail.
There's a Hard Deadline Behind Most Calls
Homeowners usually want lights up before a specific date - a party, a holiday visit, before it snows. They won't wait days for a callback; they'll just call the next installer on the list.

Since almost all your revenue lands in that same short window, a missed call during peak season carries more weight than one in the off-season. Call Catcher runs year-round at $79/month so it's ready the moment your season starts.
No, the text-back is a simple message letting them know you'll follow up - it doesn't share scheduling details or book appointments.
No. Risacare doesn't interview anyone — the caller hears a short greeting and gets a text with your booking link. Qualifying still happens when you call back. Nothing pretends to be a receptionist.
No. Replies land in your Risacare leads with the caller's number and you get an alert; you enter the job into whatever you already use. We'd rather say that plainly than sell an integration that doesn't exist.
