Roofing Contractors

Roofing automation that replies while the leak is fresh.

Storm season buries you in estimate requests, and the ones you get to a week later are already someone else's job. Avelle replies the moment they come in.

Roofing lead automation replies to an estimate request within seconds through storm season, qualifies the property before you drive out, and follows up on every quote until the homeowner decides.

The problem

Where roofing jobs get lost.

In the days between an urgent enquiry and the reply that came too late.

The week-old enquiry

A homeowner with an active leak contacts four roofers. By the time you reply on Friday, the job was signed on Tuesday.

Storm-season overflow

One weather event generates a month of enquiries in three days. The ones at the bottom of the pile never get called.

Driving out to nothing

An hour each way to quote a roof that turns out to be a rental the caller does not own, or a repair below your minimum.

Quotes that go cold

A re-roof is a considered purchase. Most contractors follow up once, then stop — right before the customer was ready.

What we build

Four systems for a business that spikes with the weather.

Fast enough for an urgent leak, patient enough for a $30,000 re-roof.

Instant reply to forms, calls and ad enquiries

  • Responds within seconds across web, phone and ad platforms
  • Handles a storm-season spike without a queue
  • Establishes urgency — active leak versus planned replacement
  • Books the urgent ones before a competitor replies

Scope and property details qualified up front

  • Requests photos of the roof and the problem area
  • Establishes property type, ownership, age and storeys
  • Confirms the caller can actually authorise the work
  • Screens out repairs below your minimum job size

Automated estimate follow-up

  • Chases every quote on a cadence built for a considered purchase
  • Keeps going well past the single follow-up most contractors manage
  • Answers the common objections about price and timing
  • Flags genuine interest for your personal call

Review collection after every completed roof

  • Requests the review when the job is finished and the customer is happy
  • Drafts replies to every review for your approval
  • Routes complaints privately before they land publicly
  • Builds the review count that wins the next local search
The comparison that matters

What are you comparing this against?

How it works

How long does it take to go live?

We build around how you already run — you do not change your systems to suit ours.

  1. 01

    Map your job criteria

    We define your minimum job size, service area, and the property details that decide whether a visit is worth the drive.

  2. 02

    Connect your intake channels

    We wire up web forms, phone, and ad enquiries so every source gets the same instant response.

  3. 03

    Build the follow-up cadence

    We set the schedule and wording for chasing re-roof quotes through a weeks-long decision.

  4. 04

    Launch and tune

    We go live, review the first weeks of enquiries, and tighten qualification against the jobs you actually take.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does roofing lead automation cost?

Builds start at $2,500 setup plus $650/mo on Launch, covering instant enquiry response, qualification and estimate booking. Contractors running heavy quote follow-up and review collection typically move to Growth at $4,500 setup plus $1,500/mo.

Can it handle storm-season volume?

Yes. The system answers concurrent enquiries without queueing, so a weather event that generates a month of leads in three days gets the same instant response throughout rather than a backlog.

Will it integrate with AccuLynx or JobNimbus?

Yes. Avelle connects to AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Jobber and similar roofing and field service platforms so qualified leads and job details land where your team already works.

How does it qualify a job before I drive out?

It asks what you would ask on the phone — property type, ownership, roof age, storeys, whether there is an active leak — and requests photos. Jobs below your minimum or outside your area are screened out before anyone gets in a truck.

How long until it is live?

Most roofing builds go live in two to four weeks. We recommend launching ahead of your busy season so the qualification logic is tuned before volume arrives.
