One Hailstorm Can Flood Your Phone Faster Than Your Office Can Answer It
Build My Pulse installs an AI dispatcher that answers every hail damage and remodel call across the Twin Cities, day or night.
Spring and summer hail hits the Twin Cities hard, and when it does, roofing and siding calls flood in from every direction at once. The rest of the year is steadier, mostly remodels and basement finishing tied to the region's older housing stock and long winters. The trouble is your crew is usually outside or up on a roof exactly when the storm-driven calls start piling up, and homeowners racing an insurance clock go with whoever answers first. Pulse handles this either self-serve at $500 a month, or fully built and deployed for you through Build My Pulse.
We also deploy Pulse for contractor operators across Minnesota, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando.
The problem
Where Minneapolis Contractor operators lose the most time
A single storm can generate more hail and wind damage calls in a week than a small office can field.
Crews working outside in cold or wet conditions can't answer the phone, so inquiries roll to voicemail and just go cold.
Homeowners filing insurance claims need a fast estimate and consistent follow-up, and slow response hands the job to a competitor.
What Pulse does
24/7 call and text answering
Every call about storm damage, siding, or a remodel gets answered instantly, even during a peak storm-season surge.
Lead qualification and scheduling
The agent captures damage type, insurance status, and address, then books an estimate directly on your calendar.
Quote follow-up

FAQ
Do we have to have Vaylo deploy it, or can we run it ourselves?
You can go either way. Pulse runs self-serve starting at $500 a month, or we can build and launch the whole thing for you through Build My Pulse.
Can this handle a sudden spike in calls after a storm?
Yes. It answers every call and text simultaneously, so a surge of hail or wind damage inquiries after a storm gets handled without your office getting overwhelmed.
How fast can we get this running before storm season?
Build My Pulse deploys in a two-week sprint, mapping your process in week one and launching in week two, so you can be live well ahead of your busiest weeks.
Does it work with the scheduling system we already use?
Yes. It connects to your existing calendar or job management tool, so estimates booked by the AI land where your team already checks.
What about homeowners still waiting on their insurance adjuster?
The agent notes the insurance status and schedules a follow-up for later, so those leads stay warm instead of falling through the cracks during a long claims process.
