Turn Richmond's Storm Season Into Booked Jobs
An AI receptionist built for Richmond roofers that answers calls, books estimates, and keeps quotes from going cold.
Richmond roofing jobs are rarely one-size-fits-all. A tear-off in Chesterfield is a different animal from a slate repair on a century-old Fan District home, and homeowners in either camp want a callback fast once a nor'easter or a summer storm does its damage. The problem is straightforward: two Richmond roofers competing for the same storm-damage lead, and the one whose phone actually gets answered wins the job. That's what Build My Pulse fixes, built for your business in two weeks. If you'd rather manage it yourself, Pulse also comes as a self-serve product at $500 a month.
We also deploy Pulse for roofing operators across Virginia, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando.
The problem
Where Richmond Roofing operators lose the most time
A homeowner in Church Hill calling about slate or clay tile damage will often just hang up if nobody picks up within a few rings.
Estimates go out, nobody follows up, and the homeowner quietly hires whichever roofer called back first.
Weekend storm calls pile up until Monday, by which point several of those homeowners have already hired someone else.

FAQ
How quickly can Build My Pulse launch for my Richmond roofing business?
The full system is built and deployed in a two-week sprint, tuned to your specific call scripts, service area, and booking process before it takes its first live call.
Does it integrate with the scheduling software we already use?
Yes. It connects with your existing calendar and CRM tools rather than forcing you onto new software.
Can it handle historic home jobs differently from standard asphalt shingle jobs?
Yes. It can be configured to ask different qualifying questions for slate, tile, or historic roofing versus standard shingle jobs.
What happens to calls that come in overnight during a storm?
They're answered immediately, not left for voicemail, and the homeowner gets qualified and, when appropriate, booked into the next available estimate slot automatically.
Does this have to be a done-for-you build, or can our team run it directly?
You've got both options. Build My Pulse is the fully managed build, and Pulse is also available self-serve starting at $500 a month if your team wants to run it directly.
