When hail or wind hits, the first contractor to answer wins the job. Roofers who respond in under 2 minutes win 4× more contracts than those who call back the next day. LocalFlow answers every surge call, qualifies the insurance claim, and books the inspection — before your phone stops ringing.
A hail event drops 50+ calls in a single day. No crew, no dispatcher, no answering service can handle that volume in real time. LocalFlow handles every call simultaneously — qualifies each one, schedules inspections, and queues them for your team without a single drop.
Not every storm call is worth a site visit. LocalFlow asks the right questions upfront — carrier, claim status, deductible, damage type — so your crew only rolls to jobs that match your preferred claim profile. Tire-kickers screened out before a truck leaves the lot.
Homeowners who schedule an inspection and then go cold are a constant leak. LocalFlow books the inspection slot in real time, sends SMS confirmation with what to expect, and calls back to confirm 24 hours out — so your calendar stays full and trucks roll on time.
Most roofing leads die in the gap between estimate and signed contract. The homeowner gets distracted, gets a second quote, or simply forgets. LocalFlow follows up automatically — by call and text — at the intervals you configure, keeping warm leads warm until they sign or explicitly say no.
Real scenario: homeowner calls after a hailstorm. AI greets, qualifies the insurance claim, captures address and carrier, books a free inspection, and sends SMS confirmation with what to expect.
Not all storm calls are worth a site visit. LocalFlow can be configured to ask the questions that actually separate real claims from curiosity calls.
Capture the carrier up front. If you work State Farm and Allstate preferentially, filter accordingly before scheduling.
Know whether the homeowner has already opened a claim, is pre-claim, or doesn't plan to file — and route each scenario to a different flow.
Ask about deductible — homeowners with $500 deductibles on $8K jobs are real buyers. Those with $10K deductibles on minor damage often aren't.
Missing shingles with active leaks get same-day emergency routing. Cosmetic hail damage gets a standard inspection slot. The AI makes the call automatically.
You define your preferred claim profile during setup. LocalFlow enforces it on every call — no exceptions, no human judgment errors.
LocalFlow connects to your roofing CRM and job management platform to write leads and inspection slots directly — no manual entry, no copy-paste between apps.

One unanswered storm call is $8–15K in lost revenue. Most roofing shops miss 5–10 per surge event when volume spikes. LocalFlow pays for itself on the first hail day of the season.
No answering service. No missed calls. No lost storm seasons.
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. LocalFlow handles unlimited concurrent calls. When hail drops and your phone rings constantly for 6 hours straight, every call gets answered in real time, qualified, and slotted for inspection. No hold times, no voicemail, no dropped leads. You review the inspection queue when the surge settles.
Yes. LocalFlow is trained on roofing-specific insurance vocabulary — claim filing, adjuster visits, ACV vs. RCV policies, supplements, depreciation holds, and the difference between carriers in terms of process. It won't give homeowners insurance advice, but it speaks fluently enough to qualify claims and set accurate expectations about next steps.
Commercial is fully supported. You configure separate call flows for residential vs. commercial — different qualification questions, different routing, different priority. Property management companies calling about multi-unit buildings get routed to your commercial sales process. You can run one phone number for both or separate numbers with separate configurations.
Yes. You define your service zones and crew assignments during setup. LocalFlow checks zip code or address against your service map and routes each inspection to the right crew's calendar. If a job falls outside your service area, the AI politely declines and can refer out — no awkward conversations, no wasted windshield time.
Most roofing contractors are live in 3–5 business days. If a storm event is already active, we can expedite to 48 hours. Day 1: service area, pricing, crew schedule, and insurance qualification criteria. Days 2–3: AI configuration and call flow testing. Day 4: you review and approve. Day 5: go live. Your existing business number forwards to LocalFlow — no hardware, no new numbers, no IT required.
