We had hail last night and there are pieces of shingle in the yard. Can someone come look at the roof?

Not that I can see.

Good. Can I get your name, the address, and about how old the roof is?

What Curtis handles for roofing companies
Leaks, storm damage and estimate requests, whenever they come in.
Active leaks
Curtis asks where the water is coming in and how bad it is, takes the address, and emails emergencies to your team right away.
Storm damage
After hail or high wind, Curtis asks what the homeowner can see, takes the details your crew needs, and books the inspection.
Replacement estimates
Curtis takes the details of the home and the roof, books the estimate visit, and leaves the price to your estimator.
Questions homeowners ask first
Do you work in my area? Are inspections free? Curtis answers from the information you give it, and when it doesn't know, it says so.
Every trade gets the same Curtis, set up around your company's own information. See how Curtis works.
Roofing answering service questions
Is Curtis an answering service for roofing companies?
It does that job and more. Curtis answers 24/7, asks about the damage first and books the inspection or the estimate, rather than just taking a message.
Can Curtis handle storm-damage calls?
Yes. Curtis asks about the damage first, including whether water is coming inside, takes the address and the details your crew needs, and books the inspection. Emergencies and complaints are emailed to your team right away.
Will Curtis quote a roof replacement?
Only if you've given it a price. Otherwise Curtis books the estimate visit or offers a callback, and never guesses.
How much does an AI answering service cost?
Curtis comes as part of our monthly service, with your website and local SEO. The price depends on your business, so we go through it on a short call. Try Curtis for free.
Does Curtis work with Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Jobber, yes. Connect your Jobber account and Curtis books straight into it, as a request or a scheduled visit, only into times your schedule shows open. Housecall Pro is next: the connection is built, and we switch it on with the first shops that use it. Curtis also books into a connected Google Calendar. If your schedule lives somewhere else, tell us on a call.
Can Curtis book inspections and estimates?
Yes. Curtis books them with the details your crew needs and emails you each booking.
Do you build websites for roofing companies?
Yes. We build websites for roofing companies with the same website builder we used for this site, and Curtis can answer your customers on them. See a demo website for a made-up roofing company, or read more about our websites.
Is it really free to try?
Yes. Your first month is free. The team sets Curtis up for your business, you hear how he handles your calls, and if he's not for you, cancel in that month and you're never charged.
What works on day one?
Website chat works from day one, and Curtis books into a connected Google Calendar. Phone answering starts once your business line is forwarded to him.
