After the storm, the phone rings once.
When the wind takes shingles, every roofer in town gets the same calls — and the homeowner books whoever answers. We catch the surge, capture the storm and insurance details, and book the inspection. You just show up to the work.

What's leaking, in Roofing numbers
In storm season the first responsive roofer usually wins the (often insurance-paid) job — and within 5 minutes you're 100x more likely to reach the lead (MIT/InsideSales, 2007).

A typical Roofing service call is worth about $950 (an after-hours call, closer to $1,200; a replacement, $9,500). Recover just one missed job a week and that's about $3,800/month back in your pocket — the kind of number the free audit estimates for your actual phone.
Illustration using industry-benchmark averages, not a promise. Tickets: Angi/Forbes (2025–2026) — repair ~$950, replacement ~$9,500. Emergency figure is a derived storm/urgent-leak premium, not a cited benchmark. Leakage uses conservative cross-trade floors (roofing skews more after-hours in a storm; we hold the floor).
We triage Roofing calls the way you would
The front office knows the difference between an emergency and a routine job — because it's tuned to your trade, not a generic script.
- emergencyactive leak / water coming in
Water actively coming in is urgent — every hour risks interior + mold damage. Offer an emergency tarp today, get the address, and note where it's leaking so the crew comes prepared.
- emergencystorm damage / missing shingles / tree impact
After a storm, get them on the schedule fast (and mention we document damage for insurance). Confirm whether the roof is compromised/open to weather.
- urgentvisible wear / a few missing shingles, no leak yet
Book an inspection within a few days before it becomes a leak; note the age of the roof.
- standardreplacement quote / inspection
Schedule the estimate into the next standard window; ask if it's insurance-related.
Ready for your busy season
Storm season — hail/wind drive a surge of damage + insurance jobs; lead with 24/7 emergency tarping and same-week inspections.
Winter ice-dam season — leaks from ice buildup at the eaves; promote ice-dam inspections and emergency leak response.
Fall pre-winter push — replacements and repairs before snow; book the inspection backlog.
A hailstorm hits Grand Rapids and phones light up all afternoon — Pocket Funnel answers every call, books inspections, and captures the insurance details while your competitors' voicemails fill up.
