AI Receptionist for Roofers in Richmond, California

What a missed call costs a small roofing company in Richmond

You are on a roof, driving to a job, or at dinner, and the phone rings with nobody to answer. A homeowner with a leak does not wait. They call the next roofer on the list, and that roofer gets the job. Richmond has 40,806 households, and when water gets into a house people look for a roofer right away. A small company cannot afford to lose those calls just because no one was free to pick up. Each missed call is an inspection that never gets booked and an estimate that never gets written.

A normal day with Clara

It is 7:40 on a Tuesday evening. A neighbor in Richmond saw water coming through the garage ceiling after the rain and wants someone out tomorrow. He calls your company. Clara answers in English, asks which language he prefers, and he replies in Spanish. Clara checks your calendar, finds an open slot Thursday morning, reads back the date and address, and asks him to confirm. If the caller lives near El Cerrito or San Pablo, Clara still logs the job. You get a phone alert with a summary of the call, translated into your language, before the night is over. A young couple who just bought their first house in Richmond can call on Saturday too. Clara offers the free inspection and books it without you needing to be free.

What you get after each call

• A customer record with name, address and the problem they described, saved in AquiVoz's simple built-in CRM.
• A call summary in your own language, so you do not have to listen to the whole recording.
• An immediate phone alert, and the option to transfer an urgent call, such as an active leak, straight to you.
• A one-tap SMS confirmation sent from your own phone, only when the customer has agreed to it.
