Running a roofing company isn’t easy. Between missed calls, no-shows, slow estimates, and hiring headaches, it’s hard to keep up… let alone grow.
That’s where smart tools and AI come in. This guide will walk you through how AI (in plain English) can help you save time, book more jobs, and stay competitive in 2025 without needing to be tech-savvy.
What Is AI, Really? (In Plain English)
Think of AI like a really smart assistant that never takes a day off. If you’ve used Siri on your phone or seen Netflix recommend shows you like, that’s AI at work.
Now, similar tools are being built specifically for roofing and exterior companies to help with things like quoting jobs, answering phones, following up with leads, and more.
