The job values make everything else look like rounding
One recovered re-roof pays for years of this. You don't need the system to work often — you need it to work once. Most roofers I talk to can name a specific job they lost to a voicemail.
For Roofers
Most trades lose a few hundred dollars when a call goes unanswered. In roofing you can lose twenty thousand. Here's the maths nobody in this business likes doing.

Sorry we missed you — Cedar Peak Roofing here. What’s the issue?

Roof leak inspection — 8:30am Friday
You were up a ladder with the phone in the truck. A $14k re-roof that nearly went elsewhere.
The gap
There's no version of roofing where you comfortably answer the phone. You're two storeys up, wearing a harness, in the wind, usually with a nail gun. The one place a call absolutely cannot be taken is the place you spend your entire day.
Meanwhile the person calling has a leak and a ceiling stain that's getting bigger. They're not patient, and they're ringing everyone on the first page.
Why it matters here
One recovered re-roof pays for years of this. You don't need the system to work often — you need it to work once. Most roofers I talk to can name a specific job they lost to a voicemail.
After bad weather, everyone calls at once and nobody waits. Being reachable in the forty-eight hours after a storm is worth more than everything else you do to market yourself all year.
Nobody spends fifteen thousand dollars on the strength of a van sign. They read reviews, and they read them carefully. Volume and recency both matter, and both are things you'd never get round to asking for.
What you get
The same system whatever your trade — a website that brings the calls in, and everything behind it that stops them going to waste.
No setup fee · Month to month · Cancel anytime
Straight answer
Some companies selling this will offer to screen your reviews — catch the unhappy ones before they reach Google. I don't, because Google prohibits it and it's your listing that gets suspended, not the vendor's.
The system asks every customer instead, right after the job. Most of your customers are happy, so that still lands most businesses in the high fours — the problem was never bad reviews, it was that nobody was asking. More on that here.
Questions
Then the inquiries you're missing are the retail ones — the homeowner paying out of pocket, who's often the better margin. Those come by phone and web form, they're time-sensitive, and they go to whoever gets back first.
Usually one to two weeks from approval. Text messaging carriers require a registration step for business numbers that takes several business days, and I start it the day you sign. Your website goes live regardless — only the texting waits.
No. Month to month, cancel whenever with an email. The website is licensed to you while you're a subscriber rather than sold to you — that's what makes $397 with no setup fee possible — but your domain and your customer data are yours and come with you either way.
Fifteen minutes on the phone, then I build it. You decide once it's in front of you — nothing to pay before that.
