For roofers
Every leak call answered. Your phone stays in your pocket.
When a southerly strips iron at 10pm, the homeowner rings roofers until one answers. An AI receptionist for roofers picks up 24/7 in a natural Kiwi voice, flags the genuine emergencies, and texts you the job sheet — while you keep both hands on the job.

Storm nights are your busiest phone hours
Leaks don't book appointments. After a big blow the calls stack up at night and on weekends, exactly when no one's near a phone. Every one gets answered and sorted by urgency.
On the roof, the phone stays put
You don't take calls on a pitched roof at height. The AI catches everything while you're clipped on, and on Pro it can put a genuine emergency straight through when you can take it.
Insurance jobs live or die on details
Storm-damage callers need quotes and reports for the claim. The job sheet captures the damage, the address and the situation, and the recording is there if anyone asks what was said.
A 10pm storm-damage call, handled properly
The call every roofer knows: wind's lifted the iron and water's coming in. The AI treats it as the emergency it is — no invented prices, no promises you didn't make.
Within a minute of hangup: name, number, address, the job and urgency — texted and emailed to you. See how it works →
Why after-hours matters more for roofers than any other trade
Most trades get the occasional late call. Roofers get them in batches, because roof emergencies are made by weather and weather keeps its own hours. A front rolls through at night, iron lifts, ridge caps go, and suddenly half a suburb is ringing every roofer they can find — at 10pm, in the rain. The one who answers gets the make-safe that night and, more often than not, the repair or re-roof that follows.
TradieCall answers those calls in seconds, in your business name. It asks whether water is actually coming in, flags the real emergencies, and tells callers the sensible things: bucket under the leak, stay off the roof in the dark, you’ll ring them straight back. On the Pro plan a genuine emergency can be transferred to you live; everything else lands as a flagged job sheet you can triage from bed. There’s more on how the overnight side works on the after-hours answering service page.
Repairs in winter, re-roofs in summer, insurance all year
Winter storms drive the repair work; the re-roofs and long-run replacements get quoted from spring and booked through summer. Insurance enquiries run all year, and those callers come with questions — can you do a report for the claim, how soon can someone look at it. The AI captures the lot: name, number, address, what’s damaged and how urgent, texted and emailed to you within a minute, with the transcript and recording in your dashboard when you need to check exactly what was said.
It never invents prices — roof work gets priced off a roof, not a phone call — and it only offers the services you’ve set up, so if you don’t touch membrane or internal gutters, it won’t claim you do. If your work crosses into roof plumbing, the plumbers page covers that side of the fence. Plans start at $129 a month on Starter, NZD including GST, no lock-in.
