The Contractor’s AI Prompt Playbook

Copy, Paste, and Book More Jobs

Contractor’s AI playbook

Most contractors don’t lose jobs because they can’t do the work. They lose jobs because their quotes look sloppy, their reviews sound weak, and their competitors look more professional.


This blog gives you the exact AI prompts you can copy and paste to win more jobs, protect your reputation, and keep your phone ringing—without hiring extra staff or wasting hours at the computer.


1. Job Quotes & Proposals That Close Deals

Your quote is more than a piece of paper—it’s a salesman. Weak proposals lose jobs. These prompts make your proposals look sharp, professional, and trustworthy.


Prompts to use:

  • Write me a professional job quote for a residential roofing repair. Include scope, timeline, total cost, and warranty.

  • Create a proposal for a concrete driveway installation. Emphasize durability and long-term value.

  • Write a follow-up email to a customer who hasn’t responded to a quote. Be polite but persuasive.


👉 Pro Tip: Stop selling on price. Sell on trust. These prompts make you the safe choice.


2. Review Responses That Build Trust

Your reputation is your most valuable marketing. Customers read reviews—and they read how you respond. A sloppy reply costs referrals. A polished response multiplies them.


Prompts to use:

  • Write a professional response to a 5-star review. Thank them, highlight the service, and invite referrals.

  • Write a calm response to a negative review about weather delays.

  • Write a response to an angry review that stays calm, thanks them, and invites direct contact.


👉 Pro Tip: You don’t respond for the complainer—you respond for the next customer reading it.


3. Social Media Prompts That Generate Leads

Blurry jobsite pics don’t sell jobs. Posts that show transformation, authority, and professionalism drive calls.


Prompts to use:

  • Write a short Facebook post for a before-and-after junk removal job. Include a call-to-action to book today.

  • Write an Instagram caption for a bathroom remodel testimonial.

  • Write a spring roofing inspection promo with urgency and a discount.


👉 Pro Tip: Before-and-after pictures sell. Add sharp words, and they sell faster.


4. Optimize Your Google Business Profile

Google Maps is your new storefront. If your profile looks empty or sloppy, customers scroll right past you.


Prompts to use:

  • Write a keyword-rich description for a plumbing company in Madison, WI.

  • List services for a landscaping business in professional language.

  • Write a Google post offering $100 off junk removal jobs over $500.


👉 Pro Tip: Photos get views. Captions turn those views into calls.


5. Follow-Up Prompts That Recover Leads

The first quote rarely wins the job. The contractor who follows up—wins.


Prompts to use:

  • Write a text to follow up on a roofing quote from 3 days ago.

  • Write a polite email reminder for a bathroom remodel quote.

  • Write a re-engagement message for a lead from last month with a limited-time discount.


👉 Pro Tip: The fortune is in the follow-up.


6. Safety and Crew Messaging Made Easy

Your crew reflects your business. Keep them sharp, safe, and professional with words that stick.


Prompts to use:

  • Write a 3-minute safety talk on ladder use.

  • Write a crew reminder to clean the jobsite before leaving.

  • Write a motivational message for a tough remodel project.


👉 Pro Tip: Customers judge your crew’s behavior as much as the finished work.


7. Hiring & Staff Management Prompts

Good workers build your business. Bad hires wreck it. These prompts attract the right people and weed out the headaches.


Prompts to use:

  • Write a job ad for a general laborer emphasizing reliability and work ethic.

  • Write a job ad for a skilled mason highlighting respect and steady pay.

  • Write 10 interview questions for hiring a roofer.


👉 Pro Tip: Your ad should repel the wrong hire as much as it attracts the right one.


8. Marketing Boosters That Make You Look Big

Most contractors look small online. These prompts make you look bigger, sharper, and more trustworthy than every competitor in town.


Prompts to use:

  • Write a “Why Choose Us” section for a plumbing company.

  • Write a Facebook ad for free roofing inspections.

  • Write a referral program message offering $50 off per new client.


👉 Pro Tip: The pro who looks bigger and sharper gets hired—even if his bid is higher.


9. Business Strategy Prompts for Growth

The guys who fail? They wing it. The guys who win? They plan, track, and grow on purpose.


Prompts to use:

  • Create a weekly job schedule for 3 crews with deadlines and accountability.

  • Create a financial tracking sheet with income, costs, and profit margin.

  • Write a 12-month growth plan for a contracting business with revenue and hiring goals.


👉 Pro Tip: Contractors don’t go broke from lack of work. They go broke from lack of structure.
