A human when it matters
True emergencies ring the on-call phone you set.
A roofing answering service answers leak and estimate calls when you're on a roof. Elody is an AI receptionist for roofers. It flags active leaks, books inspections on your calendar, texts you the property details, and covers storm nights without a night surcharge. Plans start at $49/mo.
Storms don't wait, and neither do the other roofers
After wind or hail, the businesses that answer get the inspections. The ones on voicemail get the leftovers, if anything is left.
Bad option 01
Crew on the roof, phone in the truck
You hear it ring. You can't get it. By the time you're down, they've called someone else.
Bad option 02
Voicemail
An active leak does not leave a message. An estimate shopper often won't either.
Bad option 03
A night answering service
They take a name. You still have to call back and find a time.
What it does on those calls.
Answers leak and estimate calls
After hours and on weekends, when homeowners actually look up.
Flags active leaks
Water in the house pages you. A 'come look at my shingles' request gets captured.
Books estimates and inspections
While they're on the line. The visit lands on your calendar.
Captures the property
Address, what they saw, and the best number for the estimator.
Coverage that matches how the work actually shows up.
Storms hit at night
That's when people search 'roofer near me.' If you don't answer, someone else does.
Leaks are time-sensitive
You want those calls, not a voicemail from 11 PM you see at 8.
Estimates fill the week
Elody takes them instead of making you play phone tag.
Why roofing businesses run Elody.
Catch the leak while you're on a different roof
Active water in the house pages you. A shingle look-over books as an estimate.
The estimator has the property
Address, what they saw, best number. On the calendar, not a sticky note in the truck.
Storm nights, no surcharge
Wind does not keep business hours. The plan does not add a night premium.
Keep the number on the yard sign
Forward the line already on the lawn. Nothing to reprint.
Set up your roofing answering service in four steps.
Tell Elody about your business
Add your hours, services, service area, and the questions callers actually ask. No scripts to write from scratch.

Every call ends with a text and an email. Summary, transcript, and the appointment on your calendar. Urgent ones also page you.
