For roofing contractors

Hours of office work, done in minutes of talking. Even when you're two stories up on a steep pitch.

Every leak call and storm inquiry gets answered and booked while you're on a roof: the drip over the bedroom ceiling, the shingles the wind pulled off last night, the full tear-off. Estimates, insurance paperwork, invoices and payment follow-ups go out on their own. It's a 24/7 AI Office Manager you run safely, hands-free, from the truck.

  • From $49/month
  • No annual commitment
  • Keeps your own number
Example6:30 am, in the truck
AI Office ManagerFourteen calls came in after yesterday's hail, all answered. Nine inspections are booked for Tuesday and Wednesday, grouped by neighborhood. I also:
  • Sent the Alvarez repair invoice, $1,150, with a payment link
  • Emailed the adjuster your photos and estimate for the Kim claim
  • Tear-off estimate for the Harts, waiting for your OK

Where a roofing business loses work

Roofing work arrives in waves. One storm can bring a month of calls in a day, and they land while every crew is up on a roof. A homeowner with water coming through the ceiling keeps dialing until a roofer picks up.

12,000

openings for roofers are projected every year through 2035, and roofing jobs are growing 5%, faster than average. With crews this hard to hire, the work you already have to win is the call you answer.

BLS Occupational Outlook, 2025–2035 1
$395–$1,965

is the normal range homeowners pay for a roof repair (about $1,172 on average). A leak call is often the first step toward a full replacement.

$5,903–$13,377

is the normal range for a roof replacement, so one missed storm call can be a five-figure job.

What it does for a roofer

It isn't an answering service. Calls are one job out of many. It's an AI Office Manager that does the office work itself, around the clock, and checks with you on anything that matters.

  1. Answers and triages every leak callIt picks up every call and asks your questions first: is water coming in right now, where, how old is the roof, is there a claim. It tells the caller how to protect the room, offers your tarp service, and books the inspection on the live call with a text confirmation.
  2. Books storm inspections by areaWhen hail or high wind floods the phone, it fills your inspection calendar neighborhood by neighborhood, so your estimator drives one loop instead of crossing town five times.
  3. Sends repair and replacement estimatesSay the squares, the shingle line and the price once you're off the roof. It writes the estimate with your good-better-best options, sends it, and follows up until the homeowner decides.
  4. Keeps insurance jobs movingIt asks homeowners for the claim number and adjuster's contact, emails your photos and estimate to the adjuster, and tells you when an approval or supplement comes back.
  5. Orders shingles and materials"32 squares of architectural in Driftwood, four rolls of synthetic underlayment, ridge cap and drip edge, delivered to the Hart job Thursday." It sends the order to your supplier and confirms the drop date with the homeowner.
  6. Invoices and chases paymentThe deposit request goes out when the contract is signed and the final invoice when you say the job's done, through your own Stripe, QuickBooks or Xero, with reminders until it's paid.
  7. Works around the weatherWhen rain pushes a tear-off, it texts the homeowner the new date, moves the dumpster and the material drop, and reshuffles the rest of the week.

And the rest of the office

Beyond the work above, it runs the everyday office for you, and you run it by talking to it.

  • Answers calls 24/7
  • Books jobs on the live call
  • Calls back missed calls
  • Texts customers and crew
  • Reads and replies to email
  • Runs your calendar
  • Quotes and estimates
  • Invoices
  • Payment reminders
  • Follows up on open quotes
  • Orders from suppliers, even on their websites
  • Asks for reviews
  • Spoken daily briefing
  • Asks before anything that matters
  • Undo window on what it sends
  • Hands-free voice, safely in the truck

How it handles a leak in a storm, then an estimate

Two example conversations, written to show how it works. They are not recordings of real customers. The first is a homeowner at 9:10 pm, mid-storm. The second is you, the next morning, just off a roof.

9:10 pm: a homeowner calls mid-storm

Example callYour business line
CallerWater's dripping through the ceiling in our upstairs bedroom. It started when the wind picked up.
AI Office ManagerSorry you're dealing with that. First, is the water anywhere near a light fixture or an outlet?
CallerNo, it's coming down in the corner by the window.
AI Office ManagerGood. For tonight, put a bucket under it, move what you can away from the wet spot, and take a few photos in case you file a claim. The first inspection I can offer is tomorrow at 8:30. The inspection is free, and if it needs a tarp the crew can put one on during that visit for $350. Shall I book it?
CallerYes, please.
AI Office ManagerYou're booked for 8:30 tomorrow. I'm texting the confirmation now, and you'll get a text when the roofer is on the way.

11:20 am next day: you, off the ladder

Hands-freeDriving
YouThe Hart roof is 28 squares, one layer, some soft decking on the back slope. Quote $14,200 for architectural shingles and $17,900 for the premium line with the longer warranty. Decking is $95 a sheet if we need it.
AI Office ManagerGot it. Should I include the line about permit, dumpster and cleanup being included, like your last replacement estimate?
YouYes, and say we can start in two weeks.
AI Office ManagerSent with both options and the two-week start. If they haven't replied by Monday, I'll follow up. The Alvarez invoice was paid this morning, so I've marked it paid.

What is the office work costing you?

Answer a few questions about your calls, quotes and invoices. You'll see the hours you'd get back each week, the work you'd keep, what an office hire would cost instead, and which plan fits. Every assumption shows its source, and you can change it.

Questions roofers ask

Is this just an answering service?

No. Answering calls is one thing it does. It's a 24/7 AI Office Manager that does the office work itself: it books inspections, sends repair and replacement estimates, keeps insurance paperwork moving, invoices and chases payments, orders materials from your supplier, handles email and texts, and tells you what it did.

Can it keep up with the phone after a big storm?

It answers several calls at once, so a hailstorm doesn't end in a full voicemail box. It books inspections into the slots you've opened, groups them by area if you ask, and keeps a callback list you can see for anyone it can't fit. On Growth, you can purchase additional usage for the months when the phone won't stop.

Does it deal with insurance claims?

It handles the paperwork around them: collecting claim numbers and adjuster details, sending your estimate and photos, reminding homeowners about their deductible and chasing approvals. It doesn't negotiate with the insurer or give coverage advice. Anything like that comes to you.

Will it quote a roof without seeing it?

No, unless you want it to. It shares only the fees you give it, such as a free inspection or your tarp charge. Repair and replacement prices come from you after you've been up there, and it sends the estimate and follows up until the homeowner decides.

Is there a roofing estimate template I can use?

Yes. Start with the line items in our guide to pricing roofing jobs (squares, layers to tear off, pitch, decking per sheet, flashing, permit, dumpster and cleanup) and run the numbers in the free roofing estimate calculator. Once you've said the price, the AI Office Manager writes the estimate in that format with your good-better-best options, sends it and follows up.

How do I get roofing leads without door knocking?

Win the calls you already get first: answer every leak and storm call, book the inspection on the call, and follow up every estimate until the homeowner decides. Then ask each finished job for a review with photos, keep past customers on a yearly inspection reminder, and partner with gutter, siding and insurance contacts. Unmanually does the answering, booking, follow-ups and review requests for you.

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You connect your own Twilio or Telnyx account and your business number runs through it. We don't sell or provide numbers, so the line stays yours.

Will customers know they're talking to an AI?

If anyone asks, it says so plainly. When a caller wants you personally, it takes the details and lets you know right away, or puts them through if you've said to.

How does setup work?

Tell it how you work in plain words, out loud or typed: your inspection and tarp fees, the shingle lines you install, your hours, your service area and what needs your OK. Every plan includes a 1:1 setup call, booked right after checkout: in about 30 minutes we connect your email, calendar, invoicing and phone line with you and check it works the way you do. After that, you change anything by telling it.

Which plan should I pick?

Most owners pick Growth. You get 3 seats, so your office manager and a sales estimator each get their own login, and when a busy month pushes past your capacity you can purchase additional usage on the spot (Starter requires an upgrade). Starter is the entry plan for trying it alone at low volume. Roofers running several crews who hand over the whole office get the most from Scale: 10 seats, the highest capacity and the fastest tier. You can move up any time: your new month starts that day, and the unused part of your old plan comes off the first charge.
