What a missed call costs a small roofer in Hayward

A small roofing company in Hayward lives on the calls that come in during the day: a leak, wind damage after a storm, an older house someone wants checked before a sale. If the call goes unanswered, the caller usually leaves no message. They just dial the next company. A missed call is not just a bad moment; it is a job that went to someone else.

A normal day with Clara

Picture a Tuesday in Hayward. You are on a roof near Hayward Hills and the phone rings. It is an older woman from Cherryland calling for her daughter. She says water is coming in through the bedroom ceiling and she does not know what to do. Clara answers, asks which language she prefers, and takes her name, address and the problem. Because the leak is active, Clara can transfer the call to you if you set it up that way. If you cannot take it, the call is saved with a summary in your language. Later that night, someone calls at 11 p.m. asking about an inspection. Clara checks your calendar, confirms the date and address, and leaves you the summary. None of those calls gets lost.

What you get after each call

• A case summary, translated into your language
• The caller's name and address, verified
• The appointment booked on your calendar, with date and address confirmed
• An immediate phone alert so you can decide the next step
