Roofing

Sign more of the roofs you already inspect.

In 3 weeks you'll know where jobs stall between inspection and signed contract, priced in dollars, with a ranked plan to fix it.

What changes

What it looks like fixed, and what it looks like today

These are the stages I check first for roofing companies. Most lose the most money at one or two of them, and the audit tells you which.

01Storm-surge leads answered while buyers are readyToday: volume spikes after a storm and response times collapse.
02Homeowners home when the crew arrivesToday: inspections are booked without confirmations or reminders.
03Every estimate followed up until it's decidedToday: one or two calls, then the deal goes cold.
04Financing that moves the deal forwardToday: buyers who need financing stall when options aren't clear at the estimate.
05Insurance jobs that keep movingToday: claim-driven jobs stall when nobody owns the follow-up with the homeowner and adjuster.
The math

What closing a few more is worth

Illustrative example: a residential roofing company with 90 leads a month, a $16,000 average job and a 22% close rate today.

Illustrative numbers, not client results. Run your own numbers.

Same leads, same average job. Only the close rate changes.
Close rateAdded per monthAdded per year
22% → 23%+$14,400+$172,800
22% → 24%+$28,800+$345,600
22% → 25%+$43,200+$518,400

FAQ

Questions from roofing companies

Why do roofing estimates go cold?

Usually because follow-up stops after one or two attempts, financing isn't clear, or nobody schedules a next step at the estimate. A written follow-up cadence and a scheduled next step on every estimate fix most of it.

How do roofing companies handle lead spikes after storms?

Plan for them before they happen: instant automated responses, a clear overflow process for booking inspections, and confirmations on every appointment so crews aren't wasting trips.

What close rate should a roofing company track?

Track close rate at each step, not just overall: lead to inspection, inspection to estimate, and estimate to signed contract. The weakest step is where the money is.
