BotsDontSleep is a 24/7 answering service for Calgary roofers. It answers calls in the hours after a hailstorm, captures damage and insurance details, books inspections into your live calendar, and takes unlimited calls at once — $0.60 per minute.
Why do Calgary roofing lose calls?
Calgary is the hail capital of Canada, and hail decides the roofing year. One severe storm can generate more inspection requests in 48 hours than the previous three months combined, and homeowners call four or five roofers while the insurance adjuster is still being scheduled. Roofing crews are on roofs during exactly those hours. The contractors who capture that surge are the ones whose phone was answered at 7pm on the night of the storm.
Which calls does it answer for you in Calgary?
- Post-hail inspection requests arriving in a 48-hour surge
- Insurance claim questions from homeowners who have never claimed before
- Wind-damage and active-leak calls needing emergency tarping
- Estimate requests for full replacement with long qualifying conversations
- Follow-up calls from homeowners chasing a scheduled inspection date
The receptionist captures address, roof age, visible damage, and whether a claim has been opened, then books an inspection into your live calendar with all of it attached. Active leaks are separated out and escalated for emergency tarping under your rules.
What does it cost in Calgary?
$0 setup and $0.60 per answered minute, with no monthly minimum and no contract. A single-location roofing business in Calgary typically spends $150 to $500 a month.

Calgary roofing answering service FAQs
- What does a Calgary roofer pay in the 48 hours after a major hailstorm?
- Still $0.60 CAD per answered minute with no surge pricing. A 48-hour post-hail surge generating 300 call minutes costs about $180, compared with $450 to $900 at a typical live-answering rate for the same volume.
- Can it capture the entire hail surge the same night as the storm?
- Yes, there's no queue and no limit on simultaneous calls, so every homeowner who calls in the hours after a Calgary hailstorm is answered, qualified, and booked into an inspection slot while your crews are still on other roofs.
- Does it separate an active leak from a routine hail-damage assessment?
- Yes, by your triage rules. A homeowner with water entering the house is flagged as an emergency and escalated for tarping, while damage assessments are booked into the normal inspection calendar.
- Can it capture insurance claim details without giving insurance advice?
- Yes, it captures whether a claim is open, the insurer, and adjuster details, and answers process questions you've trained it on, but routes claim-specific decisions to your estimator rather than guessing.
- Does it connect to the scheduling calendar our estimators use?
- Yes, we integrate it with your live calendar during onboarding so inspection bookings land where your estimators already look, with the damage details attached.
- Will an Arabic-speaking homeowner be able to describe hail damage and book an inspection?
- Yes, the damage-description and booking conversation runs in Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi, or 90+ other languages, using the same intake questions as the English version.
- How quickly can a roofing company be set up before hail season?
- About one week, including scripting your damage and insurance-intake questions and running test calls your estimator reviews before the line goes live.
- Can it keep the same phone number printed on our yard signs and trucks?
- Yes, your existing number is forwarded as-is, so nothing on your signage or vehicles needs reprinting.
- How does the cost compare with a live roofing call centre during storm season?
- Live call centres serving storm-chasing roofers typically bill $1.50 to $3.00 a minute and still queue callers during a genuine surge; this runs at $0.60 a minute with unlimited simultaneous answering built in.
- Can it capture a hail surge the same night as the storm?
- Yes. There is no queue and no limit on simultaneous calls, so every homeowner who calls in the hours after a Calgary hailstorm is answered, qualified, and booked into an inspection slot while your crews are still working.
- Does it handle insurance claim questions?
- It captures whether a claim is open, the insurer, and the adjuster details, and answers the process questions you train it on. It does not give insurance advice — claim specifics are routed to your estimator.
- How are active leaks separated from hail inspections?
- By your triage rules. A homeowner with water entering the house is flagged as an emergency and escalated for tarping, while damage assessments are booked into the normal inspection calendar.
