Automation for roofers that keeps every estimate moving

Inspections booked in a minute, every job tracked from inspection to signed contract, and follow-ups that run until the homeowner decides.

Tell me the task that eats your week. A written first plan in 2 business days.

The Monday after a storm

  1. 1Sixty inspection requests arrive over the weekend
  2. 2Each one got a reply in a minute with a link to pick a time
  3. 3Inspections are grouped by neighborhood on the calendar
  4. 4Estimates go out from the field, with photos attached
  5. 5Follow-ups run on day 3, 7 and 14 until each homeowner decides
Sample workflow

Where roofing companies lose time and customers

A flood of leads after a storm

After a storm, a week’s worth of requests arrives overnight. The office answers what it can, and the rest wait until the homeowner has already booked someone else.

A long sale nobody can see

Inspection, estimate, adjuster meeting, financing and contract. When each step lives in a different notebook or app, nobody knows which jobs are stuck or who owes the next call.

Follow-up that depends on the salesperson

Some reps follow up well and some don’t, and when a rep leaves, their open estimates leave with them. The process belongs to the company, not to one person’s memory.

Photos and documents everywhere

Inspection photos on one phone, the estimate in an email, the signed contract in a drawer. Pulling it together for an adjuster or a dispute takes hours.

What missed calls cost roofing companies

An example with round numbers, not a client. The missed call rate comes from CallRail’s 2025 benchmark for home services. Put in your own numbers in the missed call calculator.

What I set up

Fixed price, agreed before work starts. You own the accounts, the setup and the data.

  • Instant replies with a link to book the inspection, even during a storm surge
  • A pipeline from inspection to signed contract, with the adjuster meeting as its own step
  • Follow-ups at every stage that run on their own and stop when the homeowner replies
  • Photos, estimates and documents kept with each job
  • Contract templates with the notices your state requires, approved by your attorney
  • Signed contracts sent back to Google Ads, so the ads learn which leads became roofs

The workflows, step by step

Sample messages with made-up names. Yours are written in your voice, and your team approves every one before it goes live.

Inspection booking, even in a storm surge

Starts when: a form, call or ad lead arrives

  1. Within 1 minute

    A reply with a link to pick an inspection time

    Sample text message: Hi, this is Summit Roofing. Thanks for reaching out. Pick a time for your free inspection here: [link]. How old is the roof, roughly?

  2. On booking

    The inspection lands on the calendar grouped by neighborhood, and the inspector gets the address and roof age

  3. No booking after 1 day

    One reminder, then a call task for the office

Estimate to signed contract

Starts when: an estimate is sent after the inspection

  1. Same day

    The estimate with photos from the roof, warranty details and financing

  2. Day 3

    A check-in from the salesperson’s name

    Sample text message: Hi Carol, did you have a chance to look at the estimate and the photos? Happy to go over materials or timing whenever works for you.

  3. Day 7 and day 14

    A call task, then a final note

  4. When the adjuster meeting is set

    The job moves to its own stage, with a reminder the day before

Job documents in one place

Starts when: any photo, document or signature is added

  1. During the inspection

    Photos from the field app attached to the job automatically

  2. At signing

    Contract templates with the notices your state requires, signed electronically

  3. After the job

    Completion photos, the warranty and a review request sent together

What I measure

Time to first reply during a surge
The week after a storm is when reply speed decides who books the inspections.
Inspection to estimate rate
Shows whether the form and the inspection are filtering the right homeowners.
Estimate to contract rate by salesperson
Follow-up quality becomes visible, and fixable.
Days from inspection to contract
Long cycles show where homeowners get stuck: adjuster, financing or decision.

How the first month goes

  1. Week 1I look at how leads arrive and get answered today, what your software already does and where the gaps are.
  2. Week 2The first workflow goes live, usually the instant reply to missed calls and new leads, because it pays back fastest.
  3. Week 3Follow-ups and reminders, written with your team and tested on real leads before they run on their own.
  4. Week 4Reporting: reply times, show rates and close rates you can check any day, plus a review of what to change.

Rules for texting customers

  • Business texting in the US requires carrier registration, called A2P 10DLC. Unregistered numbers get filtered or blocked.
  • Forms ask for consent to receive texts, in plain words, and keep a record of it.
  • Every sequence honors STOP immediately and stops the moment a customer replies.
  • Automated messages go out between 8 AM and 8 PM local time. Florida limits sales calls to those hours, and I use the same window for texts as a safe default.
  • No sensitive details in texts: no health information, no case facts, no payment data.

Mistakes I see most

Every request answered by hand during a storm

The office answers the first fifty and the rest wait a day. An automatic reply with a booking link answers all of them at once.

Follow-up living in the salesperson’s phone

When a rep leaves, so does every open estimate. Follow-up should run from the company system, under the rep’s name.

Contracts without the required notices

Florida requires specific notices in roofing contracts tied to insurance claims and emergencies. Templates make sure none are forgotten.

Built on the tools you already use

  • AccuLynx
  • JobNimbus
  • Roofr
  • CompanyCam
  • QuickBooks Online
  • CallRail

If your software already does part of this, I set that up first and build only what is missing. What can be connected depends on the tool and your plan with it, so the free review checks it before any price. Names are trademarks of their owners, listed only as tools owners commonly use.

Want more inspections from homeowners who need a roof? I also run Google, Local Services and Meta ads for roofers.

Result from a real client: Remodeling company

Same $3,000 in ads. Seven signed contracts instead of four.

The ads were working. The leads were waiting five hours for a reply. Fixing that nearly doubled the contracts.

Questions owners ask

Doesn’t AccuLynx or JobNimbus already do this?

Partly. Roofing CRMs have pipelines, templates and some automation, and they are often set up halfway. I start with what you have and build only what is missing, like instant replies to ad leads or sending signed contracts back to the ads.

Can it handle the surge after a storm?

That is when it matters most. Every request gets an answer and a booking link in a minute, whether there are five or five hundred, and the calendar fills by area so your inspectors don’t cross town twice.

Can contracts include Florida’s required notices?

Yes, as templates your attorney approves. Florida requires specific notices in roofing contracts tied to insurance claims and to declared emergencies, and the templates make sure they are in every contract, in the format the law asks for.

How long does setup take?

One workflow, like missed call replies and estimate follow-up, usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. A complete path from new lead to paid invoice usually takes 2 to 6 weeks. You see working pieces along the way.

What does it cost?

Each project gets a fixed price in a written proposal, agreed before work starts. The free automation review gives you a written first plan and a price range within 2 business days. An optional monthly plan covers hosting, monitoring and changes.
