A normal day with Clara in Des Moines
It is a hot July afternoon. You are on a job near Pleasant Hill and cannot pick up. A homeowner calls from Altoona because her real estate agent wants the roof checked before listing the house. Clara answers, asks which language she prefers, takes her name and address, and offers the free inspection. Before hanging up, Clara reads back the date and the address and asks her to confirm. You get the summary on your phone, and when you come down the ladder the visit is already on your calendar.
What the age of local homes means for these calls
Many homes in Des Moines are decades old, so calls often come after a heavy rain, when a bedroom ceiling stains, or before a sale. These calls tend to come in during work hours, and owners want an answer the same day. If nobody picks up, they call the next roofer. Clara takes the call, checks the address, and books the inspection so the customer feels heard.
