AI receptionist for roofing companies in San Francisco, California

A normal Monday after a storm

Picture a Monday after a strong rain in the Sunset District. Your phone rings fifteen times before lunch. You are on a ladder in Bernal Heights or on a flat roof near Potrero Hill, and you cannot pick up. Some callers hang up. Others leave a voicemail you will not hear until the afternoon, by then they have already called someone else. With Clara, every call gets answered. She asks the caller what language they prefer, takes their name and address, and leaves you a summary you can read when you come down the ladder. You decide who to visit first.

What San Francisco's older homes mean for these calls

Most houses in San Francisco are old. The median year built is 1946, so many roofs have years of wear, with leaks at the edges, around vents, or at skylights. Many homes are in multi-unit buildings, where the person calling is not always the owner. Flat roofs on older buildings downtown can also pond water. So the call is often about a leak or a roof that looks worn, not always after a big storm. Clara takes those calls the same way, and you decide when to go out.
