Storm-damage inspection request

The request arrives with everything you need, any hour, while you keep working.

The roof

Tell us what the storm did and we'll set a time to look. If water is coming in now, call (641) 555-0142 and we'll send someone to tarp; tarp requests also get flagged to the owner's phone right away.

Instant roof ballpark

Customers get a ballpark price on the spot, with the math shown, and send the request when it fits their budget.

Enter the footprint in square feet, the pitch (such as 6/12) and the layers to tear off: footprint × pitch factor + overhang + waste, divided by 100, gives roof squares, priced at [your price] per square for tear-off and reshingle.

Ballpark
$0

    Example rates only, not real prices. Type your own rate and the math updates. The real version uses your prices and says "ballpark" until you've seen the job.

    Bid follow-ups

    Each quote that goes quiet gets a polite follow-up on schedule until someone answers. Nobody has to remember.

    Today this usually comes with: Roofr · $249/mo compare

    Every estimate gets polite check-ins on day 3, 10 and 21 until the homeowner signs or says no, and insurance bids start after the adjuster visit.

    The money part

    What a roofing & exteriors business often pays every month, and what it could keep

    These are the tools roofing & exteriors owners most often pay a monthly bill for, at their published or reported prices. Tick the ones you pay for, pick your plan, or type your real bill. The math is yours to check.

    Who builds it

    One person you can call

    I'm Chris, and I run Praxis AI Solutions out of Mason City, Iowa. When something needs changing, you call or text me, not a support line. In the real version, storm requests land on your phone with the address and photos, tarp emergencies get flagged right away, and quiet bids get polite check-ins on their own. Insurance bids wait for the adjuster visit and then get their own check-ins, so nobody gets pushed before they've heard from their carrier. You approve every form, rate and text before anything goes live.
