Storm surges bury your phone for 72 hours. The three days after a hailstorm decide your quarter — and most roofers miss half those calls because no office can staff for a 20x spike.
Estimates die without follow-up. You inspect, you quote… then the homeowner gets busy fighting their insurance and your quote gets buried. Most roofers never follow up more than once; most jobs close after the fourth touch.
Storm chasers poison homeowner trust. After every event, door-knockers with out-of-state plates make homeowners suspicious of everyone — and without visible local proof, you pay for their sins.
Insurance questions eat your day. 'Will insurance cover this?' 'How do claims work?' — the same conversation fifty times a week, mostly with people who haven't booked an inspection yet.
'Roofing company Dallas' is winner-take-most. The map pack takes the calls; page two takes nothing. Between storms, the ranked roofers eat while everyone else waits for weather.
Door-knocking doesn't scale and leads leak. Canvassing data lives in notebooks and group chats; appointments get forgotten; whole neighborhoods get worked once and never touched again.
