For roofing companies
After a storm, the phone rings for two days and then it stops
Roofing demand comes in bursts measured in hours. A hail line moves through, every phone in three counties rings at once, and by the weekend the homeowners have all picked somebody. RingTender answers all of it, collects what your estimator needs, and books the inspections while you are still on a roof.
$69 a month, flat. No setup fee, no per-call fees, cancel anytime.
Where roofers lose calls
- A storm produces more calls in a day than you can answer in a week.
- You are on a roof when the phone rings, which is most of the day.
- Insurance questions dominate the calls and most of them are the same five questions.
- The out-of-town storm chasers answer their phones, and speed is most of what wins the job.
When the phone actually rings
- The 48 hours after hail or high wind, when the whole market calls at once
- During tear-off, when nobody on the crew can stop to answer
- Evenings, when homeowners get home and see shingles in the yard
- Weeks later, when the adjuster has come and gone and they need a real bid
What a call sounds like
An example built from the notes a roofer would write. Your receptionist answers from your services, your prices, and your policies, and nothing else.
Caller
We had hail Sunday and I've got shingles in the driveway.
Your receptionist
I am sorry, that was a rough one. We are scheduling free inspections this week. Have you filed a claim with your insurance yet, or are you still deciding?
Caller
Haven't filed. Should I?
Your receptionist
That is a good question for the estimator when he is on site and can tell you what he sees. I can get him out Thursday morning. What is the best address and number to reach you?
Prefer to hear it? Call (270) 900-6086. That is a live line answered by the same receptionist.
What it handles for you
- Absorbing a storm surge without a busy signal, every caller answered at once
- Collecting damage details, storm date, and insurance status on your question list
- Booking free inspections into your estimator's real availability
- Answering your standard insurance questions from your notes, and declining to go past them
- Texting you and your estimator every booking as it lands
Questions roofers ask
- Can it handle a storm's worth of calls at once?
- Yes, and this is the clearest case for it. There is no hold queue and no busy signal. Every caller in the surge is answered at the same time, which is not something a single office phone can do.
- Will it talk about insurance claims?
- Only from what you write. Most roofers give it the basics, like whether they do free inspections and whether they work with adjusters, and route anything more specific to the estimator. Kentucky law also limits what a contractor may do on a homeowner's claim, so keeping this narrow is the right instinct.
- Can it book the inspection without me?
- Yes. It books into slots you have actually marked open, so the inspection lands on the calendar without a callback.
