Storm season doubles your calls. Your front desk didn't.
A hailstorm doubles your call volume overnight, and hiring a second receptionist for three weeks a year has never made sense.

Features
What Marc handles for Roofing & Exteriors.
Marc is trained specifically for your industry's terminology, caller scenarios, and scheduling needs. Not generic. Not approximate. Built for what your phone actually sounds like.
Storm Surge Handling
When a hailstorm doubles your call volume overnight, Marc absorbs every call. Every homeowner gets a professional response and a scheduled estimate — not a voicemail.
Free Estimate Scheduling
Marc books estimate appointments directly into your crew's schedule. The homeowner hangs up with a confirmed date and time instead of waiting on a callback that may come days too late.
Insurance Claim Call Handling
Homeowners calling about storm damage get claim process guidance, property address collection, and follow-up scheduling — so your crew arrives prepared and the claim process starts moving.
After-Storm Night Coverage
Storm calls don't wait for business hours. Marc covers your line at 10 PM the night of the hail event — capturing every lead before your competition opens in the morning.
Materials & Warranty FAQ
Questions about shingle types, material warranties, and what the estimate includes get answered professionally — so homeowners are educated buyers when the crew shows up.
Job Status Updates
Homeowners calling to check on their project timeline get a helpful update without burning your crew's time. Marc handles the 'when are you coming?' calls so your team can stay on the roof.
Roofing & Exteriors results
Storm season is your busiest week. Marc makes sure it's also your best.
The window between a storm event and homeowners signing contracts is measured in days. The contractor who answers the phone in the 48 hours after a hailstorm captures the market. Marc keeps your line covered through the entire surge — every call answered, every estimate scheduled, every lead captured before your competition can call them back.
For the 50-week slow season, Marc keeps the pipeline moving with routine estimate requests, warranty calls, and referral inquiries. No second receptionist to hire in November, no scramble to answer calls in July.

Customer results
Real businesses. Real calls. Real results.
Not from a focus group. From owners who were losing calls before last month.
I was missing 4 to 6 calls a day. In the first week Marc answered 47 calls while I was on jobs. I landed 11 of them. The setup was done before lunch.

My front desk used to dread Mondays. Now they come in to a full schedule that booked itself over the weekend. We stopped missing after-hours calls completely.

Clients call at 11 PM after accidents. Marc gets their info, tells them someone will call back, and they stay. Before this, they just went to the next firm on Google.

Fair questions. Plain answers.
Can it handle the surge in calls after a storm?
Yes — and that's where it pays for itself fastest. Marc answers 50 calls or 500 calls the same way: every one gets a professional response, damage assessment questions, and a scheduled estimate. You capture the whole surge instead of whoever was fastest to pick up.
Does it schedule free estimate appointments?
Absolutely. Marc books estimates directly into your calendar. The homeowner hangs up with a date and time instead of waiting for a callback that may never come.
What about insurance claim calls from adjusters or homeowners?
Marc collects the claim information, property address, and contact details, and routes anything time-sensitive straight to you. It keeps the process moving so you don't lose a job while paperwork stalls.
Will callers know it's AI?
It doesn't pretend to be a person. It answers professionally in your business's name and gets straight to helping. What callers actually hate is ringing, hold music, and voicemail — an instant, useful answer is what they remember.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your number stays yours, with your carrier. You forward calls to us — everything, or only what you miss. Turn the forwarding off and you're back to normal in minutes.
How fast can it go live?
Usually within one business day. We build and test your receptionist before it answers a real caller, so day one sounds like week ten.
What happens to my calls?
Answered, handled, and summarized. You get a text after every one: who called, what they wanted, what happened. Urgent calls route straight to your cell. Spam never reaches you.
Can it actually book appointments?
Yes — into your real calendar, against your real availability. It handles reschedules and answers common questions about your services, hours, and pricing.
What if I cancel?
You stop paying, we stop answering, you turn off the forwarding. No contract, no cancellation fee, no retention specialist.
What's included at each price?
Essential ($97 setup + $97/mo) covers everything most businesses need: every call answered, appointments booked, spam filtered, a text summary after each call. Pro ($297 setup + $297/mo) adds a custom cloned voice, automated callbacks, priority same-day setup, and support for multiple locations. Both are flat monthly pricing — no per-call fees, no usage surprises.
Do you sell my data?
No. We don't sell, share, or monetize your information or your callers' information. Your call logs exist to serve your business and nobody else.
Your next customer is about to call. Who’s answering?
Call the demo line and hear it work. Or start now and have it live by tomorrow.
