Pro tip
Start with one clear job, like booking calls and sending quote follow-ups, before adding more.
What is Remote CoWorker?
Remote CoWorker is a staffing service. It finds a remote assistant for you, checks them, trains them and manages them. The assistant works your hours and acts like part of your team. You do not have to post jobs or run interviews.
What can a remote assistant do for a contractor?
- Answer and return calls: pick up during the day and call back missed leads fast.
- Book jobs: put calls on the schedule in your job software.
- Follow up on quotes: text and email people who got a price but have not said yes.
- Chase payments: send invoice reminders so money comes in sooner.
- Bookkeeping help: enter receipts and keep records clean for your accountant.
How much does Remote CoWorker cost?
The Remote CoWorker website says plans start at $7.99 an hour (checked October 2026). The final price depends on the role and the hours, so ask for a written quote before you sign up. Even at full time, that is far less than a local office hire once you add payroll taxes and benefits.
How East Tennessee contractors can use it
- HVAC in Knoxville: during the first cold snap, the phones blow up. An assistant books tune-ups and no-heat calls while your techs stay on jobs.
- Roofing in Maryville: after a storm, an assistant calls back every lead the same day and sets inspection times.
- Remodeling in Farragut: an assistant sends quote follow-ups and keeps homeowners updated, so jobs do not stall.
