Why Roofing Contractors Lose $50,000+ During Storm Season

Storm Calls Overwhelm

When severe weather hits, your phone rings non-stop. One receptionist can't handle 50 calls at once. Every missed call during a storm goes to your competitor.

Can't Answer on the Roof

When your crew is on roofs, meeting with adjusters, or driving between jobs, calls go to voicemail. 62% of homeowners call the next roofer instead.

Hiring Is Expensive

A full-time office manager costs $47,000-$62,000/year and still can't handle storm surges or provide 24/7 coverage. That's money for trucks and materials.

Sample Storm Damage Call

"Thank you for calling Elite Roofing. This is Alex, how can I help you today?"

"We just had a bad storm and there's a tree branch through our roof! Water is coming in the bedroom!"

"I understand this is urgent and I'm here to help. First, if possible, move any valuables away from the water and place buckets or towels to minimize damage. What's your address so I can dispatch our emergency crew right away?"

"We're at 123 Maple Drive. Do you need our insurance information?"

"Yes, that would be helpful. I'm dispatching our emergency tarp crew to 123 Maple Drive right now. They'll call you within 20 minutes. What's your insurance company name and policy number if you have it handy?"

Result: Emergency flagged, tarp crew dispatched, insurance info captured, job logged in JobNimbus—all handled at 11 PM during a storm when 47 other calls were coming in simultaneously.

TA
Thomas Aquilino
Owner, Breslow Roofing - Tampa, FL

"The insurance intake feature alone is worth the price. Every caller's policy info is captured and organized before my salesperson even calls them back. Our close rate on insurance jobs went up 25%."

MH
Marcus Henderson
President, Storm Guard Roofing - Dallas, TX

"We're a smaller crew and couldn't afford an office manager. AgentZap answers every call while we're on roofs. Last month we booked 15 emergency tarp jobs after hours. That's $27,000 in revenue we would have lost."

This information is organized and sent to your team for seamless follow-up with complete documentation.

Will customers know they are speaking with an AI?
