Capture Every Roof Lead in 90 Seconds. Close Jobs While Competitors Sleep.
Roofing leads go cold in minutes. We build an automated estimate pipeline that texts inbound leads instantly, syncs your field estimators' schedules, and triggers storm-tracking re-engagement.
Apehx builds and deploys Roofing & Exterior Contractors CRM, automation, and marketing systems for service businesses across the United States. One-time build fee, then optional monthly maintenance. You own the system forever.
"In roofing, whoever calls back first gets the $18,000 roof replacement. Apehx's 90-second response sequence doubled our closing rate on inbound storm damage leads."
What This Costs Roofing & Exterior Contractors Before Any System Exists
In roofing, being second costs you the whole job. Every minute a lead sits unanswered is a $17,000 roof handed to the contractor who picked up first.
The roofing marketing retainer is a trap.
- Roofing SEO and ad-management agencies charge $2,000–$4,500 every month, forever — on top of your ad spend.
- Walk away and you own nothing — no CRM, no follow-up sequences, no lead data.
- Per-lead brokers sell the same ~$150 contact to 3–5 of your competitors at once.
Build it once. Own it forever.
- One-time build fee, then optional maintenance only — no agency retainer.
- Your CRM, follow-up drips, storm broadcasts, and ad accounts live in accounts you own.
- Cancel maintenance anytime; nothing is taken away.
Everything We Build Into Your Roofing & Exterior Contractors System
Designed specifically around the buyer journey in your industry — not a copied template.
Sub-90-Second Speed-to-Lead Dial & Text
The instant a homeowner requests an estimate, your estimator gets dialed and the homeowner gets a custom SMS — before competitors even see the lead. 78% of homeowners hire the first roofer who responds.
Automated Estimate Follow-Up Drip
Stop losing proposals to ghosting. A structured multi-touch follow-up cadence keeps every estimate warm for 30 days. Leads reached within 5 minutes are 21× more likely to qualify than those called after 30.
Estimator Calendar Dispatch & Round-Robin
Sync your field estimators' calendars so inbound requests route to the right rep by territory and availability. No more leads sitting in a shared inbox while the best estimator is free.
Storm & Hail Alert Broadcast Engine
After a major storm rolls through, send geo-targeted SMS and email notices to past homeowners in affected ZIP codes — turning your existing database into instant storm-repair demand.
Photo & Scope Document Vault
Homeowners text inspection photos and scope docs directly into their CRM record, giving your estimator full visibility before they ever pull into the driveway.
Post-Install Review & Referral Engine
Every completed roof triggers an SMS that routes 5-star reviews straight to Google Maps and asks for a neighbor referral — compounding your local search rank and word-of-mouth.

Common Questions from Roofing & Exterior Contractors Owners
How much does roofing marketing cost without an agency retainer?
A typical roofing marketing agency charges $2,000–$4,500 per month for SEO and ad management, indefinitely, plus your ad spend. Apehx charges a one-time build fee for the entire engine, then optional maintenance. You own the CRM, funnels, and ad accounts forever — no recurring retainer required.
How fast should we respond to roofing leads?
Within 5 minutes. Leads contacted within 5 minutes are 21× more likely to qualify than those called after 30 minutes (MIT Lead Response Management Study). After 5 minutes, lead quality drops 80%. Apehx's automated speed-to-lead texts the homeowner and dials your estimator in under 90 seconds.
Does this work with JobNimbus, AccuLynx, or Roofr?
Yes. Apehx operates as the front-end lead capture and follow-up engine. It grabs the inbound estimate request, qualifies it, and hands the confirmed appointment straight into your existing roofing CRM or pipeline.
Can our estimators use this from their phones on job sites?
Yes. Our mobile app gives your field team 1-click calling, text messaging, calendar updates, and pipeline stages on iOS and Android — no laptop required.
What happens when storm season hits and volume triples?
The system scales automatically. There are no lead caps, so whether you get 10 leads or 300 leads after a hailstorm, every lead gets an instant 90-second response.
Do you run our Google and Facebook ads?
We set up high-converting roofing ad campaigns — storm damage, full replacements, inspections — directly inside your own ad accounts. No agency markups, no shared access, and you keep the accounts forever.
Do we have to pay a monthly retainer to keep the system running?
Never. You pay a one-time setup fee to build the entire engine. After handoff, ongoing maintenance is optional or you can maintain it yourself. The system stays yours.
