Operator starter guide

Where a roofing company should start with AI

You know you are missing storm calls and letting estimates go cold, but you cannot disrupt your dispatch flow or confuse your crew leads during peak season.

The starting point is manual work you already recognize.

Most roofing companies start with missed call recovery and estimate follow-up before adding review management and maintenance plan reminders.

Install these before anything ambitious.

Start with missed storm call recovery and open estimate follow-up. Both pay back within the first week of storm season.

Does this replace ServiceTitan or Jobber?

No. The first practices sit outside your job management system and keep it as the system of record.

What is the biggest revenue leak for roofers?

Missed storm calls after hours. A single missed estimate can be worth $8,000 to $20,000 in job value.

How much time does this take each day?

The starter practices are designed for 10 to 15 minutes per day reviewing and approving the recovery queue.
