Looking for someone that can optimize my to fit my company

I'll take the AI receptionist piece first since that's the piece most folks in this community get stuck on.

What actually moves the needle for roofing jobs is getting three things right in the order you hear them on the call:

- The reason for the call (storm damage, leak, insurance, full reroof, quote request)

- The address and a quick sense of the roof (size, material, single vs multi-story, flat sections)

- A time window that works for them

Everything else — pulling old jobs, building the estimate, the follow-up — is downstream of those three.

A couple of practical things that keep a phone-based intake from falling apart:

- Keep the greeting short and name the company. "Thanks for calling [company], this is your office line. I'd be happy to help — can you walk me through what's going on with the roof?" Long promos kill conversion; people calling about a leak want to be taken seriously in the first 10 seconds.

- Ask one thing at a time. Let them describe the problem, then confirm the address, then ask about timeline. If you stack three questions at once, you get a confused answer and a re-dial.

- Mirror the words the customer uses when you summarize. If they say "a shingle blew off," don't reframe it as "minor damage" — repeat "shingle blew off, you'd like us to take a look." It makes people trust the next step.

- Confirm next steps out loud before you hang up. "So here's what I'm going to do: I'm sending you a text with the details of what we talked about and the best number to reach us, and a team member will call you back to set the inspection." That one sentence prevents most "you never got back to me" situations.

- Set a rule for after-hours and busy times. If the office line is going straight to voicemail because you're on roofs all day, every missed call has a cost. Whatever you set up to take the call needs to collect the same three things above and hand you a clean handoff — not a long rambling voicemail you have to decode.

On the scheduling and quoting side in Jobber, the usual leak is that the intake and the calendar aren't speaking to each other. The pattern that tends to hold together is: intake captures the request, a draft estimate sits in Jobber with a status like awaiting inspection, the inspection converts to a real quote, and the signed quote books the job. The moment that status flow breaks, you end up with jobs living in texts or paper instead of Jobber, and that's what makes the whole system feel unoptimized.

If the AI receptionist you end up with can't hold the conversation to those three pieces of information or hands off a messy summary, it's costing you more than it's saving.
