Phone rings first4.2s response30-day guarantee
Your crew's finishing a tear-off and you're up top checking the deck rot. The phone rings in the cab below. By the time you climb down, the message has rolled to voicemail and the homeowner has hung up.
When the phone rings and you can't
You're on a ridge cap thirty feet up. The call rolls to voicemail before you reach the ladder.
What Avidra does
Avidra is a text-back system that runs the second you miss a call. The caller gets a real reply, not a voicemail loop. You get a structured lead with the basics filled in.
The text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the homeowners are in your inbox before you do.
How Avidra answers your missed calls
Step 1 · Missed call detected
A missed call to your business number lights up Avidra automatically. The first SMS fires before the caller has put their phone down.
Step 2 · SMS qualifier
The caller gets a friendly text from your business line asking what's needed to dispatch.
Step 3 · Job summary to your phone
When the caller finishes the intake, Avidra hands you the summary. The format is intentionally boring: who, where, what, when.
Step 4 · You decide when to call back
Follow-up reminders fire if you miss the lead in your inbox. You set the timing per business hours.
Two ways to set it up
Two setup paths. Path one is forwarding: your existing business number stays the front door, calls ring to your phone, and Avidra only catches the unanswered ones. Path two is direct: the Avidra number is the front door, AI picks up every call live, and it transfers to your cell when the caller asks for a human. Most one-truck shops use path one. Larger shops with reception coverage usually move to path two.
The Free tier includes both AI voice answering and SMS text-back, so the pickup-mode choice doesn't cost extra.
Where Avidra stops
Avidra handles the intake call, the back-and-forth qualifying, and the relay messages you ask it to send to your customers. The phone is the part it owns. The work past it stays with you and your existing tools.
The text won't quote a tear-off. It won't estimate a roof age over the phone. It won't promise an insurance-approved scope. The intake captures enough to triage. The actual roof and the actual quote stay yours, after you've been on the ladder.

73% of homeowners don't leave a voicemail. They call the next roofer on Google.
Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.
Calls roofers in Prince George actually take
Here's what your line catches on a normal week. Skylight that started dripping after a heavy rain. Flashing repair around a chimney. Ice dam damage showing on a top-floor ceiling after a thaw. Ceiling stain that appeared after last week's storm. Each one is a job you'd close if you could pick up the phone.
After-hours patterns are tighter. The urgency is higher and the timeline is shorter. Active leak during a rainstorm, water coming through the ceiling. Tree limb through the roof after a wind event. Whoever answers first books it. Everyone else gets the voicemail tone.
What the year looks like
Peak roughly April through October. Storm-driven spikes outside that window. Winter work is mostly emergency repair and tarp jobs.
Most roofers can predict the peaks. The trick is keeping pickup steady through them. Avidra doesn't surge-price during your busy weeks and doesn't go quiet during the slow ones.
Setup is short
Setup is a 10-digit phone number and a short script. You forward your missed calls to the Avidra number that gets assigned at signup. You edit the default intake script to match how you talk to a new lead. That's the whole setup.
Most owners run their first real test inside an hour of signing up. The honest test is to miss a call on purpose from a friend's phone and watch what happens. The text fires. The follow-up questions land. You see the lead summary on your phone.
The five-second window
Speed is the whole game. A caller who got voicemail and then got a confirmation email twenty minutes later has already booked the next number on the list. A text-back inside five seconds reads as a real reply. The caller responds while they're still mentally on the call. The human callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.
After-hours and on-the-ground in Prince George
WorkSafeBC requires a written fall-protection plan for any roofing work over three metres above grade.
Common questions
Will it work for storm-chase calls?
Yes. The intake can branch on hail or wind events and capture the storm date for insurance correlation.
Can it pause during off-season?
Yes. By month, by week, or any time you want.
What about active-leak calls in the middle of a rain storm?
Active-leak calls trigger a 'we'll be in touch within the hour' script and route to your dispatch immediately.
What if a caller wants to schedule a free inspection?
The intake captures the request and gathers address, roof age, and any visible damage. Booking is on you.
Can it handle insurance-adjuster calls differently?
Yes. Adjuster-identified calls route to a separate intake that captures claim number and inspection window.
