AI receptionist · Roofing

An AI receptionist for roofers that answers while the rain is still coming in.

Forward your line while your crew is on a roof or the office is closed. Your agent takes down where the water is coming in, takes inspection requests, flags the leaks you mark urgent, and sends you each call with the caller's details and a recording. From $297 a month.

You will talk with an AI assistant. We record and transcribe the conversation.

Call the agent (706) 981-6655

7 day free trial. No contract. That number is Forge's own line, answered by our AI agent.

Inspection request noted for the office to confirm

A written example of a call, to show how one goes. It is not a recording, and Ochre Bluff Roofing is a made-up business.
When the calls come

The day after a storm, on a roofing line.

Roof calls follow the weather, not your hours. A ceiling stain shows up during an evening storm, and shingles turn up in the yard the next morning. The caller with water coming in wants to know someone has the call. The caller planning a replacement wants an estimate without waiting for Monday.

Example calls, by the hour they come in Calhoun, GA

    Says it cannot answer that and takes a message for your team.

Examples of the calls this trade gets, not real calls. Hours shown are an example. Lime is when Forge answers; calls in open hours reach it when you forward your line while you are busy.

Straight answers

What it does for roofing contractors, and what it will not do.

Your agent can

  • Answer leak calls during overnight rain and on holiday weekends
  • Take down what the homeowner sees: stains, missing shingles, water inside
  • Take inspection and replacement estimate requests for your team to confirm
  • Answer questions about the roofs you install, from the service list you give us
  • Send each call to your inbox as a written summary, set up on request

Your agent will not

  • Judge storm damage, or tell a caller the building is safe
  • Tell anyone to climb on a roof or patch a leak themselves
  • Say what insurance will cover, or talk about deductibles
  • Look up where a job stands or when materials arrive

Questions

Questions roofing contractors ask first.

What happens when storm calls come in after the office closes?

Your agent answers the calls you forward to it, at night, on weekends and on holidays. It takes each caller's address and what they saw, and flags active leaks under your rules. With live transfer, set up on request, it can put those through to your cell.

Will it tell homeowners their damage is covered?

No. It never talks about coverage, claims or deductibles, and it does not judge damage. It takes an inspection request and the caller's question, and your team handles the insurance conversation.

Can it tell customers when their roof will be finished?

No. It cannot see your job schedule or material deliveries. It takes the property and the message for your project lead, and a written summary can go to your inbox, set up on request.
