Inbound — Roofing Inquiry

Homeowner calls about a new roof

Caller
Asks about getting a new roof
A homeowner calls after noticing missing shingles and a leak in their attic. They want to know about options and pricing for a full roof replacement.
Nicecall™ AI
Gathers project details
Nicecall™ asks about the roof type (asphalt, metal, tile), approximate square footage, the age of the current roof, whether there's active damage or leaking, and if they've had any previous repairs.
Nicecall™ AI
Sells the customer on an on-site estimate
Explains that an on-site inspection is the best way to get an accurate quote, walks through what the estimator will check — decking, ventilation, flashing — and that the estimate is free with no obligation.
Nicecall™ AI
Checks the schedule and offers available times
Pulls up the estimator's calendar and offers the homeowner three available slots this week — Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon, or Friday morning.
Nicecall™ AI
Books the appointment and confirms details
The homeowner picks Wednesday at 2 PM. Nicecall™ confirms the date, time, property address, and lets them know the estimator's name and what to expect during the visit.
Post-call action
Enters lead and job details into CRM
A new lead is created in the CRM with the homeowner's name, phone, address, roof type, damage description, and the scheduled estimate appointment.
Post-call action
Assigns estimator to the appointment
The estimate appointment is assigned to the available technician with a job brief including property details, reported issues, and any photos the homeowner mentioned.
Post-call action
Sends text confirmation to the homeowner
The customer receives an SMS confirming their estimate appointment — date, time, estimator name, and a reminder to make the roof accessible if possible.
Outbound — Estimate Follow-up

Follow-up after on-site estimate is sent

Nicecall™ AI
Calls the homeowner 3 days after estimate delivery
Nicecall™ places an outbound call to the homeowner who received a $12,800 roof replacement estimate. The goal is to check if they have questions and move toward a decision.
Caller
Has questions about the estimate
The homeowner says they're comparing two quotes and asks about the warranty, the materials included, and how long the job would take.
Nicecall™ AI
Answers questions from the knowledge base
Nicecall™ explains the 25-year manufacturer warranty, the included materials (underlayment, ice & water shield, ridge vent), and that most jobs are completed in 1–2 days depending on weather.
Nicecall™ AI
Offers to schedule the job or a callback
Asks if they'd like to lock in a start date while the schedule has openings, or if they'd prefer to have the estimator call back to discuss the quote in more detail.
Post-call action
Updates CRM with call notes
The lead's CRM record is updated with the follow-up call summary — questions asked, competitor mention, homeowner's concerns, and current decision status.
Post-call action
Schedules next follow-up in 3 days
If the homeowner isn't ready to commit, Nicecall™ automatically schedules another follow-up call in 3 days and adds a task to the CRM so nothing falls through the cracks.
"We were missing half our calls during peak season. Now Nicecall™ books jobs while my guys are on the roof — we've doubled our callback-to-booking rate."
