Storm calls arrive together
A storm can fill the phone lines while crews are inspecting damage. An answering service for roofers covers the calls you assign, using your service area and urgency rules.
ROOFING CALL COVERAGE
After a hailstorm, the phones don't stop. Otto answers every call, books the inspections, and gets active leaks to your crew.
Answers 24/7 · Books into your calendar · Hands off to your team when you say so

A storm can fill the phone lines while crews are inspecting damage. An answering service for roofers covers the calls you assign, using your service area and urgency rules.
A homeowner needs a clear next step. Otto gathers the location and problem, then books an inspection through your approved calendar connection.
Answering starts the conversation. JobFlow adds automated follow-up so a roof estimate has a next step while your crew keeps working.
Your office is busy, closed or using Otto for the calls you choose.
The caller reaches an AI front desk configured for your business.
The questions follow your services, coverage and emergency rules.
The next action follows your calendar, routing and missed-call rules.
Your team has the caller’s details and next step to review.
Example scenarios using configured rules.
Active leaks follow the urgent route you define, with the address, issue and callback details sent to your team. Inspection requests without an active emergency use the next available slot.
Your crew decides who gets alerted and what happens if that person is unavailable. Otto does not promise an arrival time outside your rules or tell homeowners to climb onto a damaged roof.
Choose which inspections, repairs and replacement estimates Otto can schedule. Your calendar controls the available times; your rules decide which requests need staff review.

“Summer gets so busy we could barely keep up with the phones. We'd send out estimates and never have time to follow up. Shaun gave us a strategy using Otto's AI and automation, and now the follow-up just happens. We're closing jobs we used to let slip, and my guys can stay focused on the work in front of them.”
