Your phone books the roof inspection while you're on a roof
Your phone books the job while you're on a job. The call gets answered. The job gets booked for real. A confirmation email goes out. A bird's-eye map shows where the jobs and customers are. The built-in CRM takes the same job from estimate to invoice to paid through Stripe. This roofing answering service picks up when you cannot, so missed calls in a roofing business become booked inspections instead of voicemail.
What a missed call costs a roofer
Use your numbers. Missed calls per week times your close rate times average job value. The result is work that never hits the calendar. These starter figures are an example you can change, not a VoiceJelly statistic.
Formula: Calls missed per week × Close rate (%) × Average job value ($).
Example you can change: 8 × 40% × $450 = $1440. Work that never gets booked (weekly).
Why roofing calls come in when you can't answer
Storm days fill the phone. Crews are on a tear-off. A homeowner with a leak calls at 7pm. If they hit voicemail, they call the next roofer. The AI answers every call, day or night, so that homeowner stays on your line.
How the AI answers and books
It answers day or night and asks the intake questions you configured: address, leak vs replacement, insurance claim or not, and anything else you want noted. It books the inspection on your calendar and sends a confirmation email. Deposit-required can hold the booking and email a Stripe payment link. Transfer to you or your crew is an optional forwarding setting. The AI books the job on its own if you leave that setting off.
Every lead lands on your map and in your CRM
A bird's-eye map shows where the jobs and customers are. Route inspections from that map. The same record holds the estimate, the invoice, and the payment. You are not copying a voicemail into a spreadsheet after dark.
AI answering vs a part-time receptionist
A part-time receptionist covers the hours they are paid to sit. Storm-day overflow and 7pm leak calls sit outside those hours. Training a new person on your intake takes time every season. VoiceJelly is an AI on the line around the clock, using the questions you set, with a published plan instead of hourly receptionist coverage. Sending some calls to you or your crew is a forwarding setting you can turn on if you want. VoiceJelly does not supply its own receptionist staff. Transfers go to your people.
FAQ
Does it sound robotic?
It is an AI voice. You set the greeting and the intake questions it asks. Call the demo line and try to book a roof inspection yourself.
Can it handle insurance-claim questions?
It collects whether the call is an insurance claim and the details you configured, such as address and leak vs replacement. It does not give insurance advice. You review the notes and decide.
What happens on a storm day with lots of calls?
The AI answers every call, day or night. Each caller can get your questions, a booked inspection, and a confirmation email. If you want some of those calls on your phone, turn on the optional forwarding setting.
Can I take the call myself when I want?
Yes. Transfer to your phone or your crew is an optional forwarding setting in agent setup. If you keep your existing business number and only forward when you cannot pick up, you still take the ones you answer.
