TendLead / Roofing chatbot

AI chatbot for roofing websites

Turn storm-night website visitors into booked roof inspections.

After hail or high winds, homeowners hit roofing websites in waves, often late at night. TendLead answers their questions from your own information, qualifies the job, and books the inspection before they fill out three other contractors’ forms.

  • Inspection booking in the chat
  • Estimate requests with job details
  • Works on WordPress or any site

The problem

Roofing leads go to whoever answers first

Homeowners rarely call just one roofer. When your crew is on a roof and nobody answers the website, that lead is already talking to someone else.

⛈️

Storm surges swamp your office

The day after a storm, calls and form fills spike. TendLead handles the first conversation for every visitor at once and captures each one’s details and ZIP code.

🧗

Your crew can’t answer from the roof

Owners and project managers are on job sites all day. The chatbot keeps your website working while you’re working.

📝

Vague forms mean wasted trips

“Need a roof quote” doesn’t tell you much. A guided estimate flow asks the right questions up front, like repair or replacement, the issue, and the address area.

What it does

What TendLead does for roofing contractors

Answer, qualify, book and alert, all from the information you already share with customers.

🧠

Answers from your roofing info

Materials you install, warranties, service area, financing options and how insurance claims work with you: add it once and the chatbot answers from it.

🏠

Free inspection booking

Customers pick an open inspection slot on your calendar, with buffers so your estimators aren’t double-booked.

🧾

Qualified estimate requests

A guided quote flow collects the project type, the problem and contact details, then sends it straight to your inbox.

🔔

Instant lead alerts

Each new lead or booking triggers an email alert, plus an optional webhook to your CRM.

🎨

Matches your brand

Your colors, logo avatar and greeting message. A proactive bubble can invite storm-damage questions on key pages.

💬

Transcripts for every chat

Read what homeowners asked before your estimator shows up, so the first visit starts on the right foot.

FAQ

Roofing chatbot questions

Can the chatbot give roof replacement prices?

It answers with whatever pricing you choose to share, such as a typical price range or “inspections are free.” For anything specific, it collects the details through the estimate form so you can quote properly.

Can homeowners send photos of roof damage?

Not through the chat today. The chatbot collects the description, address area and contact details, and you can follow up for photos when you call.

What if several homeowners want the same inspection time?

You set how many appointments each time slot can hold. Once a slot is full it disappears, and every booking is re-checked when it’s confirmed, so slots can’t be double-booked.

Will it work on my roofing website?

Yes. Use the WordPress plugin if your site is on WordPress, or paste one line of embed code into any other HTML site.

Does it answer insurance claim questions?

It can answer general questions you add, such as whether you help document damage for claims. It doesn’t give insurance or legal advice.
