The final combined July reporting shows 178 program-touching calls and 102 verified jobs. This is the highest single-month call volume of 2026, bringing all available July reporting into one consolidated result.

July finished with a 64.0% answer rate and a 57.3% verified rate, the second-best verified rate of 2026 — trailing only June's 59.8%. The combined picture shows solid conversion at record volume, while the 64-call no-answer gap remains the primary opportunity for improvement.

What the combined results reveal:

Opportunity Area: The combined July results show that 64 calls went unanswered. At the 57.3% verified rate, those missed calls represent roughly 37 additional jobs that may have been earned with full coverage. Norman missed 18 of those 64 (28.1%) and Another Plumbing missed 8 (12.5%) — together those two contractors account for over 40% of July's capacity gap.

These figures represent the final combined July results across all available monthly reporting. They are presented as one consolidated performance view of total activity, verified outcomes, unanswered calls, and overall rates.

July delivered the highest combined volume of 2026 at 178 calls — well above June's 102 and the prior high of January's 122. The verified rate of 57.3% is the second-best month of the year, trailing only June's 59.8%, while the answer rate held at 64.0%. July shows the program can sustain strong conversion even as volume scales up significantly.

Norman is the volume leader in July at 49 combined calls and 26 verified jobs (53.1% verified rate), though it also posted the program's largest single no-answer count — 18 missed calls. Aleck follows at 17 calls with a 76.5% answer rate and 70.6% verified rate, the best efficiency among high-volume contractors. Bishop turned in a strong month at 6 calls and an 83.3% verified rate, while Walsh and Mendel both went perfect — 5 for 5 and 4 for 4 respectively. Another Plumbing and Old World remained the clearest capacity bottlenecks, missing 8 of 10 and 7 of 9 combined calls (20.0% and 22.2% answer rates). Berwyn, Fidelity, John J Cahill, Park Ridge, and Ravinia also posted 100% verified rates on smaller volumes.

Capacity warning: Norman and Another together missed 26 of 64 combined unanswered calls (40.6%). These two contractors handle some of the largest call volumes in the program. Any solution that supplements their answering capacity at peak times has the largest leverage on overall combined performance.
