Remote CoWorker
Worth it if office work is eating your nights; skip it if calls are slow.
Heads up: some links here are partner links. If you buy, we may earn a small fee. It never costs you extra.
What it does
Remote CoWorker supplies a vetted remote assistant who answers calls, books jobs, follows up on quotes and helps with bookkeeping. They handle hiring and management for you.
Who it is good for
Good for Tampa Bay crews whose phones ring more than the office can keep up with.
Pro tip
Before storm or summer rush season, have the assistant learn your booking steps so no lead waits.
The short answer
Remote CoWorker is worth it if missed calls, slow quote follow-ups and late invoices are costing you jobs. It is not worth it if your phone only rings a few times a week.
What you get for the money
The Remote CoWorker website says plans start at $7.99 an hour (checked October 2026). For that, they find, vet, train and manage a remote assistant who works your hours. The final price depends on the role and hours, so ask for a written quote.
- Calls answered and returned during the day
- Jobs booked into your schedule
- Quote and invoice follow-ups
- Bookkeeping help and data entry
Where Remote CoWorker shines for Tampa Bay contractors
- Pool service in Wesley Chapel: in summer, an assistant books weekly service and green-pool calls while your crew is out.
- Roofing before hurricane season: an assistant calls back every inspection request the same day.
- AC repair in Brandon: on the hottest days, an assistant keeps the schedule full and customers updated.
Where it falls short
- The assistant is remote, so they cannot help on job sites.
- You must teach them how you want calls and quotes handled.
- Only the starting price is posted.

Common questions
How fast can they start?
The website says a pre-trained assistant can start in under 48 hours.
Is it worth it for a 3-person crew?
Often, yes, if the owner is answering phones from a ladder. One extra booked job a week can cover the cost.
