AI Receptionist for Roofers in Santa Clara, California

What a missed call costs a small company in Santa Clara

A small roofing company in Santa Clara lives on the calls that come in during the day: a leak after a storm, an older roof someone wants checked before selling a house, a property owner who needs a quick estimate. If nobody picks up, the caller leaves no message. They call the next company in their search results. With a median year built of 1974 for local homes, many calls come from roofs near the end of their life, and the homeowner expects an answer the same day.

A normal day with Clara

It is a weekday at lunch. You are on a job near El Camino Real, and wind has just lifted shingles on a roof on your list. Your phone rings but you cannot answer. Clara picks up, asks which language the caller prefers, checks your calendar, offers an open slot for the afternoon inspection, and reads the date and address back to confirm. That same caller lives near Sunnyvale and owns three rental homes. Clara records everything in one lead.

What you get after every call

• An immediate phone alert with the caller's verified name and address
• A summary of the call, translated into the language you choose
• The appointment on your calendar, with an SMS confirmation sent from your own phone if the customer agrees
• An option to transfer urgent calls, such as an active leak, straight to you
