Missed call text back for roofers.

You can't take calls from a pitched roof, and after a hailstorm half the neighborhood is calling at once. JobCatcher texts every missed caller back within seconds, asks about the leak or storm damage, and lets them book an inspection. You climb down to a list of real jobs instead of a voicemail box.

What calls look like for roofers

Roofing calls spike right after weather. A hail or wind storm can bring more calls in two days than you'd normally get in a month, and homeowners are calling several roofers at once because they know everyone is busy. The roofer who gets back first usually gets the inspection.

The rest of the year is a mix of active leaks (urgent, and often the start of a bigger job), missing shingles, inspections for home sales, and quotes for full replacements. Those quote calls are high value, so letting one go to voicemail is expensive.

One missed call, start to finish

Example with a made-up business. The texts below are what the customer and you would see.

9:20 AM. Linda calls Ironwood Roofing. You're on a tear-off with no free hand for the phone. Nobody answers.

Text to Linda, seconds laterHi, this is Ironwood Roofing. Sorry we missed your call! Tell us what you need and book a time: jobcatcherapp.com/b/… Reply STOP to opt out.

Linda taps the link, picks Storm or hail damage, answers two quick questions, adds the address and picks an open time.

Emergencies jump the line

You pick the words that mean drop everything. For roofers that's usually things like active leak, tree on roof or storm damage. When a customer uses one, the job alert says URGENT and the job is pinned to the top of JobStation, the app where you run your jobs.

Set it up the way roofers work

Flag active leaks. Add words like active leak, tree on roof and water coming in. Those jump to the top of JobStation marked URGENT.
Get more reviews after each roof. On Pro, tap once when a job is done to text the customer a Google review request. Reviews matter a lot when people pick a roofer.

Questions from roofers

Can it handle a flood of calls after a storm?

Yes. Every missed caller gets a text, at most one every 12 hours per number, and can book an inspection time on their own. There's no per-call or per-minute charge.

What does a storm-damage caller get asked?

If they pick Storm or hail damage, the form asks whether a tree is on the roof or power lines are down (and tells them to stay clear), and whether they're filing an insurance claim. You can edit or add questions anytime.

Can I use it for full replacement quotes?

Yes. Quote for a new roof is one of the built-in options, so those leads come through clearly labeled.

Will it book me on days it's raining?

Customers only see open times inside the hours you set. If weather shuts you down, tap those times in JobStation to block them.
