AI employees for roofers

After a storm, every roofer's phone rings for three days and half the calls become somebody else's job. Maxxus.ai hires you a receptionist that captures every one in your name, a speed-to-lead agent that calls back the web forms within the minute your brief allows, and a setter that fills the inspection calendar, all disclosing that they are AI and none quoting a roof by phone.

The moment

The storm brings three days of calls and one week of voicemail.

You are on a roof when the leads come in, and a leak call left on voicemail is a leak call the next company gets. An AI receptionist asks whether water is coming in, takes the address and the callback number, and texts it to you. No inspection committed, no price quoted, just the job, captured while you finish the one you are on.

The roster

Who to hire first.

Three jobs from the roster, each briefed on your roofing company. Hire one to start; the others share the brief.

Every job description

Speed-to-lead

AI employee · Sales · Phone

Calls a new web or ad lead back as soon as your brief allows, where consent was given on the form, and books the inspection.

Only where consent is on file.

A shift in this trade

What a call sounds like.

A sample call in one roofing company's brief. Every business gets its own brief, so your employees know your hours, your calendar and your prices, not a generic script.

Incoming call · 7:30 am, the morning after

[SAMPLE CALL]
  1. Caller: Shingles are all over the yard and there is a wet spot on the bedroom ceiling.
  2. Employee: This is the AI assistant for [YOUR BUSINESS NAME]. Is water actively dripping inside right now?
  3. Caller: Not dripping, just a stain that was not there yesterday.
  4. Employee: Understood. I have your address and number. The owner will call you to set an inspection; if it starts dripping before then, call back and I will flag it as urgent.

Texted to the owner with the storm tag; no arrival time or price given.

The first-day brief

What your brief needs.

Ten minutes on the phone with us, and the three things only your roofing company can tell us.

  • Your storm mode: what changes in the greeting, the questions and the priority when a storm has passed through.
  • Whether the receptionist may book inspections directly or only capture them for you to schedule.
  • The consent language on your web forms, so the speed-to-lead agent knows who it may call.

Your first hire, by hours worked

A flat wage. Compare it with the hire you could not find.

Your first hire takes the tier you pick, whatever the role. Every hire after it is the additional wage on the same brief and adds to the pool. The wages page prints every figure.

Questions

Questions in this trade.

Can it quote a roof?
No. It quotes nothing and says an inspection comes first, in the words you give it.
Will it call web leads back?
The speed-to-lead role does, within the window you set, and only where the form captured consent to be called.
What if an insurance adjuster calls?
It takes the message and the claim reference exactly as given and texts you; it does not discuss the claim.
