AI receptionist for roofers. Always answered.
Quote pipeline + fast replies from every directory.
"Hi, you've reached Eastside Roofing. Is this about a leak, or a quote?"
Why it matters
Why roofers use an AI receptionist.
Roofing work arrives in waves: a storm rolls through and every roofer in the area gets the same calls at once. An AI receptionist for roofers answers every forwarded call, captures the scope of the job and books the inspection, so you are not the one who rang back last.
It also replies to quote enquiries from your website and directories within minutes, and follows them up until they answer. You get a written summary of every call, with photos and measurements left for the site visit, where they belong.
Your AI employee for Roofing
Everything they handle for you.
The calls you get
What callers ring roofers about.
Storm damage and leaks
It takes the address, where the water is getting in and whether tiles or sheets have lifted, marks the job urgent and books the first free inspection time.
Re-roofs and restorations
Larger jobs are scoped on the call (roof type, rough size, what the customer wants) and booked for a measure-up, with the details in your call summary.
Gutters and downpipes
Replacement and cleaning enquiries are captured and booked. Prices are quoted only from your own price list.
Insurance and builder enquiries
Callers mentioning an insurance claim or a builder's job are captured with the reference details they give, so you have them when you call back.
After hours
What happens when you're closed.
Storms hit in the evening and over weekends. It answers those calls, marks leaks and storm damage as urgent and books inspections into the first free time inside your booking hours, with at least an hour's notice. You'll find every urgent job at the top of your lead list with an email summary the moment each call ends.
What usually marks a call as urgent
- Water coming through the ceiling
- Tiles or sheets blown off after a storm
- A tree or branch on the roof
- Ceiling sagging or stained

Good to know
What it will and won't do.
- It will not give advice about getting on a roof. It captures the problem and books someone who knows what they're doing.
- It answers "are you in my area?" from the service area you set, and only books jobs inside it.
- Quotes go out only when you send them. When one goes quiet, it drafts a follow-up for you to check and send.

Questions
Common questions from roofers.
Can an AI receptionist handle a flood of storm calls?
It answers the calls you forward to it while you are on a roof, captures each job and books inspections into real free time inside your booking hours, so the busy days after a storm do not slip past you.
Will it quote for a re-roof over the phone?
No. It captures the scope and books a measure-up. It only gives prices that are in your own price list and never invents a number.
Does it follow up roofing quote enquiries?
It replies to new enquiries in minutes and follows them up by text or email over the next week. For quotes you have sent, it drafts follow-ups for you to approve.
What about leads from directories?
Point directory lead emails at your Velobiz lead address. They are picked up automatically, replied to and followed up like any other enquiry.
Do I need a website for it to work?
No. Its knowledge can be built from your service list, pricing and any documents you upload. If you have a site, it reads that too.
