AI phone receptionist for roofers in Trois-Rivières
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
The crew is laying underlayment and the phone vibrates on the seat. No stopping a roll mid-deck.
What Avidra does
Avidra answers your phone, however you've wired it. Live with AI voice, or text-back if the call goes missed, or both running together. The caller gets a real response. You get the captured lead.
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 runs both channels
Step 1 · AI picks up live, or texts back if you miss it
Voice and SMS run on the same line. AI answers the live call. SMS fires on the misses. The caller gets one of the two.
Step 2 · Qualifies the caller on whichever channel they're on
The intake doesn't care if the caller is on voice or text. Same questions, same data captured.
Step 3 · Transfer to you on call, or summary to your phone
Voice call: transfer to a human when the caller asks. SMS intake: lead summary the moment the conversation closes.
Step 4 · The SMS thread stays open after, so they can text follow-ups
Voice call ends. SMS thread stays warm. The caller can text 'one more thing' and the AI picks up the conversation.
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.
Free tier includes both. AI voice and SMS text-back are both in the $0 floor, so neither pickup mode costs extra.
What Avidra does and doesn't
Avidra answers calls live with AI voice, or texts missed callers back if you'd rather. It runs your intake script. It captures jobs and relays messages to your customers when you ask. What it doesn't do: write your invoices, schedule your techs, replace your dispatcher, or pull customer history from your CRM.
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.
The math on your missed calls
The numbers on a roofing shop your size.
4 calls/week missed$1,200 avg job$4,800 / week$20,800 / month$249,600 / year
73% of homeowners don't leave a voicemail. They call the next roofer on Google.
Avidra catches them in 4.2 seconds.
Run the shop from the road
Text the Avidra number from a job site. 'Tell Mike I'll be there in 10' and the AI sends Mike an SMS as your shop. Same for 'how many leads today' or 'call Sarah Linton back at 4.' Avidra picks up the phone for your customers. It also picks up for you.
Calls roofers in Trois-Rivières actually take
Most of these will look familiar. Flashing repair around a chimney. Skylight that started dripping after a heavy rain. Missing shingles after a high-wind day. Tear-off quote on a 25-year-old asphalt roof. 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. Tree limb through the roof after a wind event. Tarp call after storm damage, can't wait until morning. 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.
How setup actually works
Setup is forwarding plus a script. Your existing business number forwards to Avidra so the AI picks up live calls and catches the ones that ring through to voicemail. You edit the default intake script in both directions. Voice and SMS share the same questions.
Most owners are live the same day. The test is a single call from another phone. The AI answers the call, walks the caller through the intake script, and captures the lead. After that, ring busy and watch the text-back fire.
Why speed matters more than channel
The lead is warm for about five minutes after the call. After that, the caller has scrolled to the next name and most likely already dialed. Email lands too slowly to matter for booking decisions made in that first five minutes. A text-back inside seconds keeps the caller engaged through a short intake while you finish the current job. By the time you call back, the lead is qualified and already expecting your voice.
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.
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.
Will it tell the homeowner to call insurance first?
If you set the script to mention insurance, yes. Most roofers add a 'have your insurance info ready' line for storm-damage calls.
What does it say about pricing?
Whatever you've approved. Most roofers default to a 'we'll quote on site' line because pricing depends on what's actually up there.
Will it ask for the roof age?
Yes. The intake captures approximate roof age and material so you can prep a quote ballpark.
