Built for Houston roofing contractors

After the storm, Houston homeowners
call 3 roofers.
The one who answers wins.

Houston's hurricane and tropical storm season creates a 72-hour window where the roofer who answers first wins jobs worth $8,500 on average. Your crew is already deployed on rooftops. Calling Matrix answers the phones — in English and Spanish — handles insurance claim intake, dispatches emergency tarps, and books inspections while every competitor is sending callers to voicemail.

Call surge after a Houston hurricane
The problem

Houston roofers are on rooftops
when the storm leads call.

74%

of roofing calls go unanswered

During storm season, your entire crew is deployed. Every call that goes unanswered is a homeowner moving to the next roofer on Google. After a hurricane, that's an $8,500 job gone in 60 seconds.

72 hrs

to win or lose a storm job in Houston

Houston homeowners contact 2–3 roofers after storm damage. They hire the first one who gets back to them with a real answer — not a voicemail, not a callback in 2 days. The window is narrow and it closes fast.

85%

of callers who get voicemail never call back

85% of storm-damaged Houston homeowners who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message. They don't call back. They find a competitor who answered — and your storm lead is gone for good.

Features

Houston roofing features — built for
hurricane season and the jobs after it.

Storm surge call handling, insurance claim intake, emergency tarp dispatch, bilingual answering, and custom integration with your field software. Calling Matrix does the entire setup — live in 48 hours.

Storm surge call handling

Handles 10x normal call volume after a Houston hurricane or tropical storm. Every caller gets a real answer within 2 seconds — no voicemail, no hold queue. Captures damage details and books inspection slots while your crews are in the field.

Insurance claim call intake

Trained to gather insurance information — policy number, carrier, date of damage, loss description — and route the call to your insurance specialist or estimator. Turns insurance calls from administrative burden into booked revenue.

Emergency tarp dispatch

Active leak calls are identified immediately and routed to your on-call crew via text. The caller is kept informed. Emergency tarp requests never sit in a voicemail queue during a Houston rainstorm.

Bilingual English/Spanish answering

Auto-detects each caller's preferred language and responds natively. In Houston, bilingual answering is the difference between winning and losing a large percentage of storm leads. No "press 2 for Spanish" menus.

FAQ

Questions Houston roofing owners
ask us every day.

Can it handle the massive call surge after a Houston hurricane or tropical storm?

Can it intake insurance claim calls and capture the right information?
Yes. Calling Matrix is trained to gather the information needed for insurance claim jobs — policy number, insurance company, date of damage, description of loss — and routes these calls to your estimator or insurance specialist with a complete intake form.
Does it dispatch emergency tarp requests after storms?
Yes. Calls requesting emergency tarps or reporting active leaks are identified immediately and routed to your on-call crew via text or call forwarding. The caller stays informed until dispatch is confirmed.
