Kanata homeowners text. They've stopped answering unknown numbers entirely.
In a neighbourhood full of people who work in tech, a text is the normal channel and a voicemail is a dead end in both directions.
Working in Kanata
Kanata's housing stock hit an interesting age. Bridlewood, Katimavik and the Glen Cairn side went up through the eighties and nineties, and those homes are now cycling through their second roof, their second furnace and their first serious deck rebuild — often in the same summer. The work is there. Getting hold of the owner is the hard part.
The households here are mostly dual-income and mostly working through the day, frequently in an office or on calls. They don't answer unknown numbers and they don't check voicemail, but they will answer a text within a couple of minutes because that's how they run the rest of their lives. A shop that texts back gets a conversation. A shop that leaves a voicemail gets nothing.

Questions from Kanata shops
Is Kanata far enough out to matter?
Not for us — the system is software on your line, so where you're based doesn't change anything about setup. It matters to your customers, though, which is why the qualifying text always asks for the address.
