After the storm, the phones explode. Grace answers every one.
One storm can bring more calls than your office sees in a month. Grace answers as your company, sorts active leaks from estimate requests, books inspections on your calendar, and sends you a list of leads ranked by urgency.
Caller“The storm just ripped shingles off and water’s dripping into the bedroom.”
Grace“I’m flagging this as an active leak for the crew. Can you put a bucket under the drip and move valuables away? What’s the address? I’ll get you on the emergency tarp list.”
$9,609The average roof replacement costs $9,609.1 If just one missed call a month was a replacement, that’s about $115,000 a year in jobs going to another roofer.
27%Home services companies miss 27% of inbound calls.2 After a storm, a missed call is often a homeowner dialing the next roofer.
Examples, not guarantees: the math ($9,609 × 12 months) assumes each missed call would have become a paying job. Your numbers depend on your call mix and close rate.
Where roofing companies lose business on the phone
Storm surges overwhelm your office
After hail or a monsoon, the phone rings all day. Whoever answers first books the inspection.
Estimates are your pipeline
A missed estimate call can mean a lost roof replacement, and many homeowners hang up without leaving a voicemail.
Crews are on roofs, not phones
Your best people shouldn’t be climbing down a ladder to answer a call.
How Grace handles your calls
Three typical calls, set up with your rules. These are illustrative scenarios. Your Grace uses your wording, your prices, and your schedule.
Caller“Water’s coming through the light fixture in my hallway.”
Grace“Please turn off that light at the breaker if you can, and keep away from the water. I’m flagging this as urgent for our crew. What’s the address?”
Caller“I think the hail damaged my roof. Can someone look at it?”
Grace“Absolutely. I can book a free roof inspection Thursday at 9 or Friday at 2. Is anyone home to meet the inspector?”
Caller“I need a quote for a full tile roof replacement.”
Grace“I’ll set up an estimate with our project manager. Roughly how big is the home, and is it tile, shingle, or flat?”
She takes the calls. You keep control.

Compliance notes for roofing companies
- No insurance-claim advice: Grace doesn’t discuss coverage or offer to deal with insurers. Many jurisdictions, including many U.S. states, restrict contractors from acting as public adjusters.
- Safety first: For water near electrical or structural danger, Grace tells callers to stay clear and call emergency services if needed.
- Recording and AI disclosure: Calls can open with a recording notice and an AI disclosure. Some countries and states require every party’s consent to record, so we set this up for where you operate.
- Texting: Customer texts follow your country’s carrier registration (A2P 10DLC in the U.S.) and opt-out rules, confirmed during setup.
General information, not legal advice. Requirements vary by country, state or province, and industry. Have your own counsel review your setup and scripts before launch.

Common questions from roofing companies
Can Grace handle 50 calls in one evening after a storm?
That’s what she’s for. Every caller gets answered and logged instead of hitting a busy signal. Tell us your peak volumes and we’ll set up and test for them.
Does she book into my CRM?
Tell us what you use (JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Jobber, or a calendar). We’ll confirm direct booking or a structured handoff before you pay.
Can she quote roof prices?
Only numbers you approve, like inspection fees. Roof pricing almost always becomes a booked estimate, and that’s usually the better sale.
Will callers know Grace is an AI?
Grace can introduce herself as your AI assistant on every call, and she always answers honestly if asked. Callers who want a person are routed by your rules.
