The short answer · “ai receptionist for roofers”
What does an AI receptionist for a roofing company do?
An AI receptionist for a roofing company answers every call and message the day the phone goes crazy: the morning after hail, wind, or a fallen limb. Iris picks up on the first ring, takes the address and the damage, asks whether water is coming in right now, and books the inspection. Homeowners with a leaking ceiling call down a list; they stop at whoever answers, and out-of-town storm chasers are counting on that being them, not you.
The follow-up is the other half of roofing, and the room handles that too. Dorian works every open estimate on a cadence until it's a yes or a no, which matters in a trade where the homeowner is juggling an insurance adjuster and three bids. Eleanor confirms tomorrow's inspections and keeps the calendar straight, and Whitmore hands you one recap at the end of the day.

The room· Brief in progressLive
- OwnerHail overnight. How bad is the phone?
Iris · ReceptionistNineteen contacts since 6 AM, calls and Facebook messages. Two active leaks, both booked this morning with tarps flagged. Nine inspections booked across three days. The rest were questions; I answered them.
Eleanor · Executive AssistantI moved Thursday's gutter estimate to Friday to clear the inspection run. They didn't mind.
Dorian · Sales RepAlso: the Whitfield replacement from May finally got their adjuster's number. I nudged; they want to sign this week.
- OwnerThat one's been three months.

Persistence is cheaper than a new lead. Recap's in your inbox.
After a storm, the roofs are all damaged the same. The difference is who answered at seven in the morning.

To the roofer watching the radar,
A note from the room. The morning after weather, your phone and your inbox go from quiet to buried in an hour. Iris catches all of it, phone, website, Facebook, Instagram, sorts the active leaks to the front, and books the inspections in order.
Then Dorian does the part storm season never leaves time for: following every estimate through the insurance wait until it lands. The chasers work your zip code for a week. We work your book all year.

The honest comparison
How does it compare to an answering service?
An answering service takes messages in a storm surge. The homeowner with a wet ceiling booked with whoever offered a time.
| Capability | Whitmore | A traditional answering service |
|---|---|---|
| Catches the post-storm surge | Every call and DM at once, no queue | ~Hold times spike when you need it most |
| Covers Facebook and Instagram messages | Where storm leads actually arrive | ×Phone only |
| Books the inspection | Real openings, held on the spot | ×Takes a message for you to return |
| Sorts active leaks to the front | Your triage rules | ~Escalates from a script |
| Chases estimates through the insurance wait | On a cadence, until answered | × |
| What it costs | Plans from $49 a month | ~Per-call billing gets expensive in a surge |
Comparison reflects typical answering-service offerings. Specific providers vary.
Before the next storm
Yes. Iris answers every call and message at once; there's no queue and no operator to overwhelm. Active leaks go to the front, inspections get booked in order, and you get a clean board instead of a full voicemail box.
It stays in its lane: it books the inspection, notes that claim photos are included if that's your process, and keeps the homeowner informed while they wait on the adjuster. It never gives insurance advice or promises what a claim will pay.
Yes. Facebook and Instagram messages, website chat, and the phone all route to the same receptionist, so the 7 AM storm lead in your DMs gets answered as fast as a call.
No. Production, claims tracking, and job files stay in the software you run today. Whitmore works the front: answering, booking, and following up, then hands you the summary.
Dorian follows them on a cadence, in your voice, through the adjuster wait, until the homeowner signs or says no. In roofing, that follow-up window is weeks or months; that's exactly the work that slips when you're on a roof.
Plans start at $49 a month for the whole team, no per-call billing, which matters most during a surge. 7-day free trial, no card required.
