LYCORE
Answering service for roofers: an AI receptionist that answers storm-season calls, captures the damage and address, and logs inspection requests for you.
After a storm the phone does not stop, and you are up on a roof. Homeowners call several roofers and talk to whoever answers. An AI receptionist answers every call, captures the address and the damage and logs an inspection request, so the work is waiting for you when you climb down.
These example workflows show what LYCORE can scope for your business. Software connections, permissions and exception rules are checked before the build is agreed.
Follow-up uses approved channels, contact permissions, quiet hours and opt-out rules. A reply, cancellation or opt-out stops or changes the sequence. Sensitive details stay out of routine texts and emails.
These are proposed measures, not achieved results. Agree the reporting period and data source before launch. Missing records stay unknown, not zero; small samples and incomplete tracking are reported.
LYCORE checks connection options and agrees the build, software costs, testing and support scope before work starts.

LYCORE's AI receptionist answers in your company name, captures the address and the damage, and logs an inspection request, so the list is waiting when you come down. This page covers what it asks, how it treats an active leak, and what it never does.
Roofing calls are a mix. A homeowner with water coming through the ceiling needs someone now. A homeowner with missing shingles wants an inspection this week. Others are checking a quote you sent, an adjuster wants to schedule a visit, a supplier confirms a delivery, or a crew member is running late.
Invoca, a call analytics company, reports that 27% of calls to home-services businesses go unanswered, and that fewer than 3% of callers sent to voicemail leave a message. After a storm, homeowners call several roofers and often talk to whoever picks up. Your competitors have the same weather.
The phone problem is timing. A storm hits, calls arrive in a burst, and the roofers who answer first tend to book the inspections. You are the one who has to be on the roof, so the call has to be answered without you.
The receptionist answers with your company name and says it is an AI assistant. It captures the caller's name, number and property address, then asks the questions you approve about the roof and what happened. If the caller asks for a person, it says so and hands over.
The receptionist does not diagnose damage from a description or say what a repair will cost. It records what the caller reports and logs an inspection or estimate request. Where your calendar can be connected, it can offer inspection windows and record the booking. Otherwise it captures the request and your team confirms a time.
You receive a summary for each call with the address, the reported damage, the urgency under your rules and what the caller was told to expect. That gives you something to act on instead of a voicemail to decode.
You set what counts as urgent. An active leak or a tree on the roof may go straight to your on-call phone by live transfer where your phone setup supports it. A cracked shingle can go into the inspection queue in order of arrival or by your own priorities.
You approve what happens if nobody answers the transfer: a second number, then a full message marked urgent and a notification to you. Those paths are tested with real call scenarios before launch. Storm weeks are when they matter most, so it is worth testing them before the season, not during it.
The receptionist answers at night and on weekends in the same way. During a busy week it answers each call, captures the details and lets you work down a sorted list. Whether you can get to every inspection is still a question of crews and daylight, and no tool changes that.
Inspections, prices, insurance guidance and roof safety stay with people. The receptionist does not tell a homeowner what their policy covers or how a claim will go, and it does not promise an inspection date you have not confirmed. It captures the facts and tells the caller who will follow up.
If a caller is upset or asks a question outside your approved answers, it hands over to a person instead of guessing. For a roofing company with a good reputation to protect, that matters more than a smooth-sounding answer.
Sales calls and wrong numbers arrive during storm season too, including calls from people selling leads or materials. The receptionist can take a short message or decline them the way you set, so they do not take up the line.
Roofing companies use a range of tools: Jobber, ServiceTitan, HubSpot, roofing-specific CRMs, or a calendar and a spreadsheet. LYCORE does not claim a native integration with any of them. What can be connected depends on your tools and is checked before a build is agreed.
If no connection is available, the summary goes to the person or inbox you name and your team enters the lead. The receptionist can also send an approved missed call text back to callers whose calls go unanswered, with STOP handling, and replies route to you or your team.
Agree the measures before launch, then review them after a storm week and a quiet week. They are measures to agree, not promised results. Outcomes are never guaranteed.

Otherwise it logs an inspection request and tells the caller your team will confirm the time. It does not invent availability.
No. It can record that a claim is open and the carrier name if the caller volunteers it, but it does not advise on coverage or claims. Those questions go to your team.
It answers every call at any hour, captures the address and damage, and ranks the calls by your rules, so you see a sorted list rather than a voicemail pile. It does not add crew capacity, so you still have to work the list.
No. It does not give safety or repair advice of its own. You can approve wording for specific situations, and anything else goes to a person.
It can. If a call goes unanswered, an approved text goes to the caller with STOP handling, and replies route to you or your team. Consent requirements are reviewed during setup, and you should confirm the rules with your own advisor.
No long-term contract is required. The cost depends on your call volume and what you want it to do. Pricing is quoted on a call after a free review, with no pressure and no obligation.
Storm enquiry to inspection queue: Capture the property address, contact details and reported damage, then group the request by service area for estimator assignment. Inspection-to-estimate follow-up: Create the next task, send an approved reminder and record whether the owner wants a callback. These are configurable examples, subject to a review of your software and business rules.
