AI Receptionist for Roofers
Frontivo is a 24/7 AI receptionist and answering service for roofing companies. It answers every call, chat and text — even during a post-storm surge — qualifies leak, replacement and insurance-claim leads, collects photos by text, and books roof inspections on your calendar. Phone answering starts at $299/month on the Growth plan, with a 5-day free trial.

We had a big hailstorm last night. I think my roof is damaged.
Sorry to hear that. Is any water coming inside the house right now?
No, but there are dents on the gutters and shingles in the yard.
Thanks. Do you own the home, and do you know roughly how old the roof is and what material it is?
What can an AI receptionist do for a roofing company?
Storm-surge answering
Answers every call at once after a storm, so no lead hears a busy signal.
Active-leak triage
Identifies active leaks and interior water, books emergency tarping if you offer it, and alerts your crew lead.
Lead qualification
Collects roof age, material (asphalt, metal, tile, flat), stories, visible damage and whether the caller owns the home.
Insurance-claim questions
Explains your process for insurance claims in your own words and asks whether a claim has been filed and who the carrier is — without giving insurance advice.
Damage details up front
Records what the homeowner can see — missing shingles, dented gutters, interior stains — so the inspector arrives prepared.
Inspection booking
Books free inspections by area to keep estimators' routes efficient.
Commercial roofing
Captures building type, roof size and property-manager contacts for commercial bids.
Why roofers lose storm leads
After a hailstorm or high winds, hundreds of homeowners call roofers in the same 48 hours. The companies that answer, qualify quickly and put an inspection on the calendar win the work — often thousands of dollars per roof. Crews are on roofs, estimators are out on inspections, and the office cannot answer every line. Leads that reach voicemail rarely call back.

| Option | Cost | Hours | Books on your calendar | Knows your urgent calls | Channels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voicemail | Free | 24/7 | Phone only | ||
| Human answering service | Per call or per minute | 24/7 | Phone only | ||

For roofers the key difference is surge capacity: after a storm Frontivo answers every call simultaneously, while a front desk or answering service queues callers — who then call someone else.
