Why work with MAJ
The case for MAJ in Milford roofing
Your problem
Doubt during the permit wait
Milford homeowners sign, then wait while plans go through outside review. With no word from you, doubt sets in, cancelling gets easier and the review you hoped for may not come.
What we build
Messages that fill the wait
We set up an automatic update series in the CRM for signed homeowners while the permit is in review, a review request when the job closes, and ads across both counties.
We think past the lead
Follow-up after the sale is part of the system, because it protects both revenue and reviews.
Milford's permit route, mapped
Your schedule and messages account for the City Administration Building, the outside review and the separate electrical route through NIC.
One connected system
Ads, CRM, follow-up and video come from one team, so nothing falls between vendors.

Milford details that shape a roofing funnel
Permit plans go to NIC
For residential building permits, plans are submitted to the City Administration Building and forwarded to National Inspection Corporation, which reviews them, usually in 5 to 15 business days. Build that window into the schedule and the follow-up.

NIC also handles electrical permits for the city, while plumbing permits are processed by Clermont County. A roofer who adds solar or other electrical work to a job deals with NIC for that permit too.

Where Milford roofers lose signed jobs and good reviews
A first reply that comes too late
A form sent during a storm week waits until someone is off the roof, and the homeowner books elsewhere.
No review asked for
The roof looks great and the customer is happy, but nobody sends a review request, so the map listing stays quiet.
Leads that never get a second touch
Estimates that do not sign in the first week drop off the radar for good.
Ads that miss half the town
Targeting only Clermont County leaves out the Hamilton County side of Milford.

A quick first reply for Milford homeowners
Confidence starts with the first contact. This shows the minutes after a call or form: a text back when the call is missed, an instant reply and a booking link, so a homeowner near the Little Miami hears from you while your crew is on a roof.
Read the transcript
The first business to answer usually gets the job. A homeowner calls at a busy moment. Your team is on a job, and the call goes unanswered. Phone screen: Missed call, 2:14 PM. An automatic text goes back in seconds. Not a voicemail greeting. A friendly text from your business. Text sent automatically: Sorry we missed you! What can we help with? The homeowner replies and gets a booking link. They pick a time that works for them, right from the text. Homeowner: Hi, I need an estimate. Is this week possible? Business: Yes! Pick any open time here. Link: Book a time. Estimate booked: Thursday, 10:00 AM. The estimate lands on your calendar. Time, address and job details are filled in automatically. Calendar, Thursday: New estimate at 10:00 AM. Your team gets notified. The right people see the new booking, with everything they need. Notifications to the office and the estimator: New estimate booked, Thursday 10:00 AM, details attached. Without it, the call waits in voicemail. By the time someone calls back, the homeowner may have booked someone else. Voicemail: next morning callback. Text back: estimate booked the same afternoon. Book a call with us at majmarketingco.com.

Why the permit wait is a marketing problem
Most roofers treat marketing as the part that makes the phone ring. In Milford, a real share of the risk sits after the contract is signed. Plans go to the City Administration Building, then to an outside reviewer, and the homeowner waits.
That wait is quiet, and quiet reads as trouble. A short message when the plans go in, another while the review is underway and a third with a start date go a long way. They also set up the review request later, because the customer is already used to hearing from you.
We automate those messages in the CRM so your office does not have to remember them during storm weeks.
Watch
Every Milford job on one board, after the sale too
This shows each lead as a card from new to won or lost, with follow-up that runs on its own. For Milford we extend the board past the signature: permit submitted, in review, scheduled, finished, review requested.
Read the transcript
Every lead gets a card. Every card keeps moving. Every call, form and text becomes a lead card. Nothing lives on a sticky note or in someone's head. Cards move across clear stages. New, Contacted, Estimate booked, Estimate sent, then Won or Lost. Follow-ups go out on day 1, 3 and 7. Automatic texts and emails, so quotes do not go cold. Day 1, check-in text sent. Day 3, follow-up email sent. Day 7, last check-in text sent. Customer replied. Every quote ends in Won or Lost. Won jobs move to the schedule. Lost ones get a reason, so you can learn from them. Won: added to the schedule. Lost reason: went with another quote. The whole pipeline on one screen. See what is new, what is booked and what is waiting, at a glance.

Questions owners ask
How long does building permit review take in Milford?
Usually 5 to 15 business days. Plans are submitted to the City Administration Building and forwarded to National Inspection Corporation for review. Tell homeowners that window up front and send updates while they wait.
Which counties should a Milford roofing campaign cover?
Both Clermont and Hamilton, because Milford sits in both counties. Ad targets set to one county alone miss part of the city.
How should a roofing company advertise after a hail or wind storm?
Have the ads, landing page and reply system built before the storm, then raise spend the day it hits. The roofer who answers first has the strongest chance at the inspection. A roofer who starts building campaigns after the storm is paying to learn while the phones ring somewhere else.
How fast should a roofing company answer a new lead?
Within minutes, during business hours and after. After a storm a homeowner may contact several roofers at once, and the first to reply with a time has the strongest chance of getting the inspection. A missed-call text back and an instant form reply cover the gap while your team is on a roof.
What should a roofer track to know if marketing is working?
Booked inspections by source and the cost of each, with signed jobs connected wherever your sales records allow. Lead counts mislead, because a storm can flood the phone with calls that never become roofs. We tag every call and form with its source in the CRM and read the numbers monthly, so you can see where to put your budget next.
