How a call goes

The questions worth asking on every call, whoever picks up:
- Is water coming in right now?
- What kind of roof is it, and about how old?
- Is there an insurance claim, or has anyone looked at it yet?
- What's the address, so you can check you cover it?
- What's the best number if the call drops?
A voicemail greeting that gets you what you need:
"You've reached [Your Company]. We're up on a roof right now. If water's coming in, say so and leave your address, and we'll call you first. Everything else gets a call back by [time]."
A text to send straight after a missed call:
"Hi, it's [Your Company]. Sorry we missed your call. Is this a leak or an estimate? Send your address and a photo if you can, and we'll get back to you today."
Why roofers miss so many calls
You can't answer a phone from a ladder. The calls that matter most tend to come when you're busiest, because a storm sends everyone to the phone in the same few days, and it's the same days your crews are already out.
A homeowner with water coming through the ceiling doesn't leave a message and wait. They call the next roofer on the list.
What it does on a roofing call
- Answers as your company, within a minute, whenever the call comes in
- Asks what you'd ask: is it dripping now, what kind of roof, about how old
- Checks the address is somewhere you work, and kindly turns down what isn't
- Offers the open times on your calendar and books the one they pick
- Texts back anyone who hung up before it could help
What stays yours
You decide what it can say and quote, and which jobs you want. Every call is recorded and transcribed on your account, and you can step in on any conversation. Anything it can't answer comes to you straight away with the whole conversation.
What a missed call costs you
Say a re-roof brings in $8,000. One of those a quarter that went to voicemail is $32,000 a year. Your call log will tell you how close that is to your own numbers, and our guide on what missed calls cost has the full sum.
The three calls you get
| The call | What Talalevel asks | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| Active leak | Is water coming in now, where, how old is the roof, what's the address | Talalevel offers your soonest open times and books the inspection, with the notes on your calendar |
| Estimate or re-roof | What kind of roof, how old, whether there's an insurance claim, what's the address | The estimate goes on your calendar, and the homeowner gets a confirmation and a reminder |
| Not a fit | The address and the kind of work | Addresses outside your area never land on your calendar, and the caller is told kindly |
Storm weeks
After hail or high wind, every roofer's phone rings in the same few days. That's when voicemail loses the most work, and when a second person on the phones is hardest to find. Talalevel answers every call and text as they come in, so your crews stay on the roofs and the open slots on your calendar still fill.
More than the phone
The receptionist answers the calls you already get. Talalevel is a growth firm, so it can also bring in the ones you don't: high-quality roofing leads, exclusive or shared, ads and outreach, every quote followed up and regulars brought back.

Questions owners ask
- Can it tell a leak from an estimate?
- It asks the questions you give it, so it can find out whether water is coming in now or they want a quote for later, and offer times to match.
- Will it quote a roof over the phone?
- Only the prices you tell it to. Everything else gets an honest answer and a visit or a call with you.
- What happens after a storm, when everyone calls at once?
- Every call and text gets answered, whenever it comes in, so nobody sits on hold or goes to voicemail.
- Can homeowners send photos of the damage?
- Yes. Photos they send come with the booking, along with the address, the urgency and the full transcript.
- Can it ask about insurance claims?
- It asks the questions you give it, so if you want to know whether there's a claim, it asks.
