The problem

When the phone rings on a job, you've got three bad options.

Answer every call yourself

  • Climbing down a ladder to grab the phone
  • Losing your place on the job
  • Spam and sales calls eat your day

Let it go to voicemail

  • Most people don't leave a message
  • They call the next roofer on Google
  • You play phone tag at night

Pay an answering service

  • Billed by the minute, every minute
  • Busy weeks double the bill
  • They take a message, not a booking

Jayhop is the fourth option: a receptionist who answers in your company's name, sorts the emergencies, and books the inspection while you keep working.

Sample call 2

Hail and an insurance claim

Recording soon

CallerWe had hail last week and I think it got the roof.

Grace (AI receptionist)That's been a common one lately. Are you planning to file an insurance claim, or have you already?

CallerI called them yesterday. Will they cover it?

Grace (AI receptionist)That's between you and your insurance, so I can't say. What I can do is get a free inspection on the schedule. Mike can meet the adjuster too. Does Friday morning work?

CallerFriday at ten.

"How much for a new roof?"

Caller88 Ridgeway Drive, Collinsville.

Straight with your customers

Honest up front. Careful with what she says.

How every call starts

“Thanks for calling Sampler Roofing. Just so you know, calls are recorded and I'm an AI receptionist. This is Grace. How can I help?”
The recording notice comes first, every time. Telling callers she's an AI receptionist is the default, because your customers deserve a straight answer.

What she won't do

  • Quote prices or price ranges. The roofer prices the job after seeing the roof.
  • Say what insurance will cover, or give claim advice.
  • Promise an arrival time or a start date.
  • Pretend to be a person. She says up front that she's an AI receptionist and that calls are recorded.

Built by a contractor

"I've missed the call on a roof too."

I'm Del. My construction work in Martinsville ran on referrals and word of mouth, and I know what it costs when the phone rings while you're on a ladder. That customer doesn't leave a voicemail. They call the next name on Google.

I built Jayhop so the phone gets answered the way a good office manager would: polite, quick, honest that she's an AI receptionist, and focused on getting the job on your calendar.

Questions

What contractors ask us.

All questions
Will it sound like a robot?

Call the demo line and decide for yourself: (276) 622-6391. Grace answers as Sampler Roofing, a sample roofing company, exactly the way she'd answer for you.

Won't my customers hang up on a machine?

She tells callers up front that she's an AI receptionist, then gets straight to helping. Most callers just want someone to answer and get them on the schedule. That beats a voicemail box they won't leave a message in.

What if she tells someone the wrong price?

She never quotes prices, ranges, or what insurance will pay. She books the inspection, and you price the job after you see the roof.

What happens with a real emergency at 2 a.m.?

Active leaks and fresh storm damage come first. If anyone's hurt, she tells them to call 911. She marks the call urgent, and you choose what happens after hours: ring your cell, or an urgent message waiting for you in the morning. During office hours she can transfer the call straight to you.

$249 a month is a lot. Is it worth it?

One roof job pays for years of Jayhop. A live answering service starts around $250 a month for just 50 minutes. Jayhop's Booking plan includes 400 minutes, books the inspection, and never puts a caller on hold.

I'm not a computer guy. Do I have to set it up?

No. We set it up for you. You fill out a short form or go through it with us on one call, and we build your receptionist, test her, and send you simple forwarding steps. Most setups are live in about 2 business days.

Hear her answer. Then decide.
