Door replacement is a quick-decision purchase compared to a full reside or window replacement. A homeowner with a rotting wood entry door wants to know if a fiberglass replacement plus storm door runs $2,500 or $4,500. They make the call in an afternoon. The contractor who answers in chat with real numbers gets the in-home consultation that same week. The one who promises a callback loses to whoever responds first. Your WordPress site has the door SKU pricing, the storm door options, and the install labor stored as postmeta.

SleekAI maps your fiberglass_door_unit_price, steel_door_unit_price, patio_door_unit_price, storm_door_unit_price, and install labor per opening into chatbot variables. The bot asks about opening size, swing direction, sidelights or transom, glass insert preference, and storm door interest. It pulls live numbers and quotes a Therma-Tru fiberglass entry door at $1,650 plus install at $475, plus a Larson storm door at $480 installed. Display conditions can scope entry doors versus patio sliders versus storm-only jobs.

Generic bots cannot do this because they do not know that a steel door costs less but dents easier, that a patio slider with grids costs $400 more than a smooth one, or that a sidelight kit requires extra framing labor. They cannot ask whether the homeowner wants a 1/4 lite, 3/4 lite, or full lite glass insert. SleekAI logs every conversation with origin URL so you can see which door styles and accessories prospects actually configure.

Door replacement is a fast-decision purchase. Homeowners notice a rotted door, water-stained sidelights, or a drafty patio slider and they want to fix it within a few weeks. They are not in the mood for a contact form and a 48 hour callback.

The contractor whose website can give a real number in chat earns the measure visit. The one who hides behind a form loses to the first competitor who responds. Entry door jobs average $2,000 to $4,500, patio door jobs $2,400 to $6,800, and storm door retrofits $480 to $720.

None of these jobs justify a long sales process, but they all justify a real ballpark in chat. One extra booked measure visit per week easily pays for the chatbot, the model API tokens, and the office overhead, with margin to spare. Per-opening quoting also handles the awkward sidelight and transom conversation cleanly.

A homeowner who wants two sidelights but does not currently have them needs $960 in materials plus a $420 framing line item. Surfacing that in chat means the lead self-qualifies before the measure visit. Door installers who run a real triage bot tend to see their measure-to-contract close rate climb because homeowners arrive at the visit already informed about cost and ready to talk about color, glass insert, and storm door upgrades.
