AI receptionist for roofers in Beaumont, Texas

What a missed call costs a small roofing company in Beaumont

A call you don't answer rarely calls back. Beaumont has a lot of older homes, and an owner with a leak wants someone to pick up now. If you are on a roof or driving to a job, that caller moves to the next roofer. One lost inspection a month can be a job you never knew existed.

A normal day with Clara

It's 6:40 in the morning. Your crew is about to leave for Port Neches and you are still in the office. A woman from Groves calls to say water is coming through the ceiling after last night's rain. Clara asks for her name, confirms the address, and offers a free inspection for tomorrow at 9. You get the summary on your phone before you reach the first house. Later, an insurance adjuster is visiting a house in Lumberton and the owner calls to book a roof check. Clara books that too. Then a customer who already called two other roofers asks for an earlier slot. Clara checks your calendar, offers an open time, and reads back the date and address to confirm.

What you get after every call

• A summary of the customer in the language you choose.
• An immediate alert on your phone, or a transfer if it is an active leak.
• Name and address checked against the US Census address service.
• A one-tap SMS confirmation from your own phone, only with the customer's consent.
