An AI that knows roofer calls.
Trained on the calls a roofer actually gets — emergencies, common asks, the urgency cues that matter. Never quotes prices. Never books on its own. Captures every real call so a member of your team can follow up.
Start your VettedCalls AI receptionistWhy Roofers pick VettedCalls
If you run a roofer business, you already know the pattern: an unknown number rings, you decline because most are spam, and the one in ten that was a real customer goes to your competitor instead. Carrier spam filters make it worse — they silently auto-reject calls before your phone even rings. VettedCalls puts a 10-second AI screen between the unknown caller and your phone. The AI captures the caller's name and what they need, recognizes roofers-specific urgency cues, and only forwards real calls to you.
The AI is trained on the calls roofers actually get. It treats "roof leak", "water through ceiling", "tarp", "storm damage", "wind damage" and similar phrases as emergencies that escalate to your cell immediately, bypassing any schedule or routing. If a caller mentions "active leak with water coming through ceiling", you ring within seconds — no AI hold, no voicemail.
For non-emergency calls — hail damage inspection (insurance claim), wind damage assessment, suspected leak (stains on ceiling, no active drip), full roof replacement quote — the AI captures the caller's name, what they need, and (for service calls) the address. It works through 7 fields naturally in conversation, never as a checklist, so when you call back you have full context instead of "someone called, no message." Real roofers report 30–50% fewer missed real-customer calls in the first month.
One firm rule: the AI never quotes prices over the phone — not hourly rates, not minimums, not a "ballpark." Pricing always depends on the specifics, and that conversation belongs with you (or someone on your team), not with a screening AI. The AI politely deflects pricing questions and gathers enough info that your callback is fast and on-target.
Setup takes about 5 minutes. You keep your existing phone number — VettedCalls uses carrier-level conditional forwarding, so contacts ring you directly and unknown callers route to the AI screener first. After signup, you tap an activation file on your phone, grant permissions, dial one short forwarding code, and you're live. Cancel anytime; no contracts; 14-day money-back if it isn't a fit for your roofer business.

Sample exchanges
Real example responses your AI is trained on for roofer calls.
What your AI captures on every call
- Their name (don't ask for callback number -- caller ID handles it; do the last-four confirm)
- Service address
- Roof type if known -- shingle / tile / metal / flat / TPO
- Approximate age of the roof
- What happened -- storm date if applicable
- Whether they've filed an insurance claim (claim number if yes)
- For active leaks: where in the house water is coming in
Trust signals it weaves in naturally

What your AI never does

- Never asks for your caller's email
- Never claims to be human (deflects with humor)
- Confirms the callback by last-four digits — doesn't ask for a number it already has
