Storm surges that bury you in calls for a week, then go quiet
For roofing businesses
After the storm, the roofer who answers first gets the inspection.
Storm weeks bring a flood of calls in a few days. Homeowners call down a list until someone answers, and the inspection usually goes to whoever books it first.
Day after a hailstorm, 8:30 am
“We have shingles in the yard and a stain on the bedroom ceiling.”
What happens: The caller is asked about active leaks and insurance, offered the next inspection slot, and given a tarp-up option if water is coming in.

Questions we can ask every caller
You choose and edit these. They tell you what’s urgent and what’s worth the drive.
- Is water coming inside right now?
- Was there a recent storm or event?
- Are you filing an insurance claim?
- How old is the roof, roughly?
- Shingle, tile, metal or flat?
Booking example
A storm-damage caller is booked into an inspection route with other calls from the same neighborhood that day.
Follow-up example
Estimates get a check-in after a week and again after three, so quotes don’t just fade away.
