It's a real phone line you and your crew can use, not just an AI. Your crew answers, or the AI does when nobody picks up. Either way the call is recorded, summarized and filed on the contact, in one inbox. Call, text and chat from the app, ring it to your cell, put it on your trucks and website, or port in the number you already have.

AI answeredStorm-damage call before you're on a roof

Inspection booked 11am

“Wind took shingles off overnight, I can see the underlayment.”

Happy to help. I can get an inspector out today between 2 and 4, or tomorrow morning. Which works?

AI answeredAfter-hours active leak

Emergency tarp dispatched · ETA texted

“Water's pouring through the ceiling, it's still raining.”

Captures the address and the damage, flags it a true emergency by your rules, and rings your on-call crew for an emergency tarp, then texts the customer an ETA. It only wakes you if your rules say a human must.

What's different from forwarding calls to an AI receptionist?

Most AI receptionists just forward the calls you miss to their AI, so they only ever see those. Fast Response is the business line itself, so every call lands in one place.

Why do roofers use an answering service?

Because a storm doesn't call during business hours, and the homeowner watching water come through the ceiling calls the first roofer who answers. Your crews are on a roof, not by the phone. Human answering services cover the overflow at $200-500 a month and still just take a message. Fast Response answers on your own business line, triages the leak, captures the storm and insurance details, books the free inspection or dispatches an emergency tarp, and texts your crew a summary. Anyone can pick up any call live from the app, and those calls are logged exactly like the AI's.

How much does a roofing answering service cost?

A call center charges $200–500 a month and bills per call, so the storm week that fills your pipeline also spikes the bill. Fast Response is a flat $29 for the line and AI answering — with unlimited concurrency for the surge — $79 with automations, $249 with outbound campaigns. No contract.

Catch every storm-damage lead, day or night

When a hailstorm or a windstorm rolls through, the phone doesn't ring once — it rings all at once, and every one of those calls is a roof that needs replacing. Fast Response answers on the first ring with unlimited concurrency, so a hundred storm calls in an hour all get picked up instead of hitting a busy signal. The AI captures the address, the damage, and whether it's an insurance claim, books a free inspection into your next open slot, and dispatches an emergency tarp when a leak is active. Every lead lands in one inbox with the recording and transcript, so nothing from the storm gets lost.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Fast Response starts at $29/mo and covers your whole crew, with no per-seat fees and no contract. Most companies are live in about 5 minutes, and you only pay more if you go past your monthly call and text allowances — far below the $200–$500/mo a traditional roofing call center runs. See full pricing →

Yes. Unlimited concurrency means every call is answered at once. A hailstorm that brings a hundred calls in an hour never hits a busy signal, so the overflow doesn't go to a competitor.

Yes. The AI answers 24/7, decides whether a call is a true emergency using rules you set — an active leak through the ceiling during a storm — and rings your on-call crew for an emergency tarp within seconds, while routine estimates get booked for the next open slot.

Yes. The AI asks whether it's an insurance claim, captures the carrier, the storm date, and the damage, and logs it on the contact so your office can start the file first thing.

It books free inspections straight onto your connected Google or Outlook calendar and texts the customer a confirmation. For field-service tools like JobNimbus, AccuLynx, or Jobber, it pushes the call details over through Zapier or a webhook — we don't claim a native two-way sync we don't have yet.

Both. The AI answers every call in 40+ languages so nothing hits voicemail, and any rep or your office can pick up live or take over a call the AI is already handling. Whoever takes it, you get one recording, transcript, and summary per call.

Yes. You can port your existing number over to Fast Response, or keep it where it is and forward missed calls to your AI assistant. In our mobile app, your personal calls and Fast Response calls are clearly labeled on the call screen, so you always know which is which.

Yes. On any plan you can place calls and send single texts from the web or mobile app, and the AI can send one-to-one follow-up texts on your behalf. Mass outbound calling and texting — importing a list and launching campaigns — is on the Scale plan and requires A2P registration (approval usually takes 2–3 weeks). You're always in control of what goes out.

The AI answers calls in 40+ languages and switches to the caller's language automatically. Call transcripts, summaries, and text replies are available in 11 languages.

All data is encrypted in transit and stored on U.S.-based servers. Your recordings, transcripts, and summaries stay private unless you choose to share them, and we never sell your data.
