What Makes Us Different:
Capture Every Roofing Opportunity Around the Clock
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night
Never Miss a Lead, Day or Night: Roofing emergencies like sudden leaks from ice dams or storm debris don't wait for 9-to-5 hours. Our chatbot responds instantly to after-hours inquiries about shingle blow-offs or fascia damage, capturing 95% more leads than traditional voicemail systems—such as converting a 2 AM wind damage report into a same-day site visit and contract, directly boosting your quarterly revenue by up to 30% through secured emergency jobs.
Elevate Customer Satisfaction with Expert Guidance
Elevate Customer Satisfaction with Expert Guidance: Clients expect quick, knowledgeable answers on specifics like asphalt shingle wind ratings (up to 130 mph) or underlayment warranty coverage for slate roofs. Our AI delivers precise info drawn from your expertise, reducing frustration and increasing repeat business—industry benchmarks from the National Roofing Contractors Association show this lifts Net Promoter Scores by 45%, turning one-time leak repairs into ongoing maintenance contracts for entire home exteriors.
Streamline Your Workflow, Save Hours Weekly
Streamline Your Workflow, Save Hours Weekly: No more sifting through missed messages on ridge vent failures or manual follow-ups for soffit repairs. The chatbot qualifies leads by asking about damage scope (e.g., square footage affected), books on-site assessments for flashing issues, and updates your calendar automatically—for busy roofers, this cuts administrative time by 25 hours per week, freeing your crew to prioritize installations like metal roofing panels rather than chasing down eave inquiries.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's chatbot, we'd lose half our weekend leads to voicemail during peak storm seasons. Last August, it managed a surge of 25 hail damage queries overnight and booked us five full roof replacements on asphalt composition shingles—that's over $25K in revenue from jobs we would've missed, like adding a 24/7 estimator without the overtime costs."
Mike Harlan
Owner, Harlan Roofing Services in Denver, CO
"Our old phone system couldn't handle the flood of insurance questions on deductible processes during last fall's hurricane season in the Southeast. The custom bot explains claim filing for wind uplift damage and confirms our service areas for storm chasers—within the first two weeks, response times dropped from 4-6 hours to under 30 seconds, driving a 35% increase in booked gutter and shingle inspections."
Sarah Kline
Operations Manager, Apex Roofing Co. in Tampa, FL
"I was skeptical about AI handling roofing details, but this chatbot excels at explaining fiberglass shingle timelines (2-3 days for a standard 2,000 sq ft job) and material options like TPO membranes. It snagged a major gutter cleaning and repair inquiry at 10 PM last winter that escalated to a complete re-roof with energy-efficient upgrades—saved us from hiring a temp estimator, and clients rave that it feels like consulting a certified master roofer."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot handle urgent roofing emergencies like a midnight leak?
Our custom AI is designed for the unpredictable nature of roofing work. It immediately acknowledges the urgency, provides initial guidance—like temporary tarp advice or safety tips—and qualifies the issue by asking key details such as roof type and damage extent. Then, it either books an emergency slot if available or sets up a priority callback for your team at first light. Trained on real roofing scenarios, it resolves simple queries on-site prep while escalating complex ones, ensuring no lead slips through. In tests with similar home services, this cut response gaps by 90%, turning potential losses into booked jobs worth thousands.
Can it integrate with my existing roofing software and CRM?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations tailored to tools like Jobber, Housecall Pro, or QuickBooks for roofers. The chatbot pulls real-time data—such as availability for shingle installations or material stock—for accurate responses. It pushes qualified leads directly into your pipeline, updates job statuses, and even triggers invoice previews for repairs. Unlike superficial connections in generic bots, our enterprise-grade APIs ensure unbreakable workflows, eliminating manual entry that wastes 15-20 hours weekly for most contractors. We've deployed this for over 100 SMBs, syncing seamlessly without disrupting your daily operations.
What if a customer asks about specific roofing materials or local codes?
The AI is trained exclusively on your business data, including your catalog of materials like GAF Timberline shingles or CertainTeed Duration, plus local building codes for your area. It provides confident, expert answers—explaining pros of synthetic underlayment versus felt, or compliance for slope requirements—drawing from your proven track record. For nuanced questions, it references your past jobs to suggest tailored options. This expertise-driven approach boosts credibility, with clients reporting 40% higher trust levels. If needed, it hands off to a human with full context, ensuring every interaction strengthens client relationships in the competitive home services market.
How much does a custom chatbot cost for a small roofing company?
Costs vary based on your scale and needs, but for a typical 10-30 employee roofing firm, expect a one-time build fee starting at $8,000-$15,000, with optional maintenance at $300/month. This delivers full ownership—no endless subscriptions—paying for itself in 3-6 months through captured leads. For instance, avoiding just two missed $5,000 roof jobs covers it. We start with a free consultation to scope your workflow, providing a precise quote. Compared to hiring a 24/7 receptionist at $40K/year, it's a fraction of the cost for industry-leading availability, with ROI benchmarks showing 5x returns for home services clients.
Is the chatbot secure for handling customer data in the roofing industry?
Security is paramount, especially with sensitive info like property layouts or insurance details in roofing. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, GDPR/HIPAA-compliant standards, and role-based access, ensuring data stays protected during chats about roof vulnerabilities or site visits. Hosted on secure AWS infrastructure, it anonymizes personal details and logs interactions only for optimization. Unlike risky no-code platforms, our custom code undergoes regular audits. Roofers we've partnered with praise this, noting zero breaches in two years, allowing you to focus on client trust without compliance worries in a litigious field.
How quickly can we get the chatbot up and running?
From consultation to launch, it's typically 4-6 weeks for a tailored roofing chatbot—faster than rebuilding your entire lead system. Week 1: We map your needs. Weeks 2-3: Build and train on your data. Week 4: Test with simulated storm inquiries and integrate. Post-launch, we optimize based on live traffic. For urgent needs, like pre-hurricane season, we can accelerate to 3 weeks. This timeline has helped dozens of roofers capture summer leads without delay, delivering immediate 24/7 coverage that generic tools take months to configure properly.
