The AI handles the surge: qualifying damage extent, capturing insurance details, and scheduling inspections within your storm response window—all while you focus on the jobs already booked.

The AI knows a $500 repair from a $25,000 insurance job
Not all roofing leads are equal. The AI prioritizes high-value jobs.
When the AI hears "storm damage," "insurance claim," or "adjuster coming," it routes immediately to your storm team as a priority lead with full claim details captured.
Keywords like "25 year old roof," "selling the house," and "upgrade to metal" trigger high-value routing for replacement consultations with material recommendations.
When someone mentions "business property," "flat roof," or "commercial building," the AI knows this requires specialized commercial expertise and routes accordingly.

Roofing answering service FAQ
What is a roofing answering service?
A roofing answering service handles incoming calls for roofing companies, qualifying leads, routing storm damage emergencies, and scheduling inspections. AI-powered answering services respond instantly 24/7, ask trade-specific questions about roof type, damage extent, and insurance status, and integrate directly with your CRM or field service software.
How much does a roofing answering service cost?
Traditional live answering services for roofers cost $400-1,800/month with per-minute fees of $0.75-2.00. AI answering services like LeadTruffle start at $79/month with flat-rate pricing—no per-minute charges regardless of call volume during storm seasons when leads surge 10x.
Can an AI answering service handle storm surge calls?
Yes. Unlike traditional services that get overwhelmed after major storms, LeadTruffle handles unlimited concurrent calls instantly. When hail or wind damage hits your area, every caller gets immediate response—no busy signals, no hold times, no lost leads to competitors.
Does the AI understand roofing terminology?
LeadTruffle is trained on roofing-specific conversations. The AI asks about roof type (shingle, tile, metal, flat), age of roof, visible damage symptoms, and insurance claim status. It distinguishes between a $500 repair and a $25,000 full replacement with insurance work.
What software does the roofing answering service integrate with?
LeadTruffle integrates directly with JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Roofr, JobProgress, and ServiceTitan. Qualified leads are automatically added to your system with damage details, and inspections can be scheduled directly on your calendar without double-booking.
How does after-hours answering work for roofers?
After hours, the AI qualifies every inquiry, assesses urgency (active leak vs. inspection request), and either escalates emergencies to your on-call team or schedules inspections for the next available slot. Customers get instant responses instead of voicemail, and you wake up to qualified leads ready to book.
