Active leak · ceiling water
"Water is coming through the dining room ceiling and we just had hail."
Built for roofers and storm-chasers who can't pick up while on a ladder.
Phonewright takes calls during the eight hours your crew is on a roof and the four hours you spend driving between sites. Active leaks and storm tarps get triaged for same-day. Inspections, insurance jobs, and full replacement quotes get qualified and booked.
Roofing demand spikes in the 48 hours after a storm. The shop that answers the phone in those 48 hours wins the season.
Three real-shape examples of roofing emergencies the agent recognizes and routes, with what happens after the first sentence.
"Water is coming through the dining room ceiling and we just had hail."
"Big limb came down. We can see daylight in the attic."
"Half my shingles are in the front yard."
Not every call is on fire. Most calls are paying work that just needs a competent voice on the line at the right time.
Homeowner has a claim opened and needs a roofer to meet the adjuster.
20-year-old roof, owner getting bids.
"Skylight has been weeping since spring."
Every roofing agent ships with rules tuned to how the trade actually behaves. These are the defaults. Every client tunes their own from there.
Any caller reporting water inside the home gets a same-day visit. The agent doesn't tell a homeowner with water on the floor that the next opening is Thursday.
The agent captures carrier, claim number, deductible, and adjuster status when a caller mentions insurance, without giving legal or coverage advice.
When you flip storm mode on, the agent prioritizes tarp and inspection calls and quietly defers cosmetic work for a few days. Everything is logged.
A roofing voicemail is a customer who is, right now, scrolling Google for the second-listed roofer.
