Most shop owners spend 5+ hours a week on phone tag, handwritten receipts, and scheduling. At $99/mo, it pays for itself if it saves you just 2 hours of admin work.
SMB Forge works as a virtual receptionist for roofing companies — answering calls 24/7, booking estimates, and sending invoices so you never miss a lead. Unlike a traditional answering service, our AI assistant handles the full conversation: qualifies the caller, captures insurance details, books the estimate, and follows up. Roofing-specific storm surge handling, insurance claim intake, and emergency tarping dispatch — all without hiring a receptionist.
SMB Forge works for any service business. See how we help yours:
Every storm call answered. Every estimate booked. Every invoice sent. One platform, $49/mo.
