Speed to lead: the first minutes after a missed call
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.

Why work with MAJ

Where MAJ fits for a Montgomery roofer

Your problem

Nothing official to verify

With no state roofing license and no city contractor license, homeowners decide from reviews, photos and how quickly you respond. A thin profile or a next-day callback hands the job to a roofer who looks more solid.

What we build

Proof and speed, set up together

We film your crew on real jobs, request a review after every finished roof, write pages that explain permits and landmark review, and set up a text back and booking link for new leads.

  • City rules in plain words

    Your pages explain structural roof permits, NIC inspections and the 32 landmarks, so you sound like the roofer who knows Montgomery.

  • Video made in house

    Our own team films and edits your crews, so the proof is yours, not a template.

  • A founder on every account

    Manny reviews strategy and numbers on every account, with editors, ad account managers and automation running the daily work.

How Montgomery roofing leads slip

  1. 01

    Thin proof online

    A logo and a phone number give a Montgomery homeowner nothing to go on, so they keep scrolling.

  2. 02

    Slow replies

    A homeowner who fills out a form at lunch may have booked someone else by dinner.

  3. 03

    Permit confusion

    Montgomery requires permits for structural roof repair or replacement on homes, but not for siding with no structural change. Roofers who mix those up sound unsure on the phone.

  4. 04

    Landmarks treated like any house

    Exterior changes to a listed landmark need a certificate of approval from the Landmarks Commission. Missing that costs time and credibility.

Montgomery facts that change a roofer's pitch

  • No city contractor licensing

    The City of Montgomery does not have its own licensing requirement for contractors working in the city, and roofing is not one of the trades the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses. Reviews, proof of insurance and video of your work carry the trust.

  • Structural roof work needs a permit

    Montgomery requires permits for structural roof repair or replacement on homes; siding or window work with no structural change does not. National Inspection Corporation does the plan review and on-site inspections.

  • Thirty-two landmarks with their own review

    The Landmarks Commission has named 32 landmarks tied to the city's early history, and exterior changes to a listed landmark need a certificate of approval. Ask for the address before you quote.

  • Old Montgomery has its own zoning

    The Old Montgomery zoning district is meant to preserve the historic fabric of downtown along Montgomery Road, in and around the Heritage District. Check what the district requires before you quote exterior work there.

Getting the right estimator to a Montgomery roof

Some calls are a quick leak repair. Some are structural replacements that need a permit. A few involve a listed landmark. This shows each request tagged by job type and area and sent to the right estimator with a link to book, so whoever shows up can answer the homeowner's questions.

Estimate routing: every request to the right estimator
Read the transcript

Every request, to the right person, the first time. A new request comes in. A call, form or text, with the job type and ZIP code attached. Request form: Job type, Replacement. ZIP code, 45230. Best time, weekday mornings. It gets sorted by job type and service area. Automatically, in seconds, before anyone has to touch it. Tags added: Replacement, East area, Estimate. Assigned to the right estimator or crew. No forwarding, no guessing, no sticky notes on the office desk. Assigned to Estimator 1, replacements, East area. With a time booked and the details attached. The homeowner picks an opening that fits that estimator's day. Booked: Wednesday, 1:30 PM. Job details attached. The homeowner gets a confirmation. Then a reminder before the visit. Nobody plays phone tag. Text: You're booked! Your estimate is Wednesday at 1:30 PM. Reminder text the day before: Your estimator arrives tomorrow at 1:30 PM. The office stops being the bottleneck. Requests keep moving, even on your busiest days. Book a call with us at majmarketingco.com.

Questions owners ask

Does Montgomery require a contractor license to roof a house?

No. The City of Montgomery does not have its own licensing requirement for contractors working in the city, and roofing is not one of the trades the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses. Structural roof repair or replacement on homes still needs a city permit.

Do roof jobs on Montgomery landmarks need extra approval?

Yes. Exterior changes to a listed Montgomery landmark need a certificate of approval from the Landmarks Commission, which has named 32 landmarks. Check the address before you quote.

Are Google Local Services Ads worth it for roofers?

They are worth testing for most roofers. Google lists Roofers as a US Local Services Ads category. Businesses that pass Google's screening carry a Google Verified badge, and providers without it can run pre-badge ads that show below badged providers. We judge LSA like any channel: cost per booked inspection, not cost per lead.

How does a roofer stand apart from storm chasers?

Show that you are local and will still be here next year. That means a Google Business Profile with real reviews, video of your crews on local roofs, a written explanation of how you handle inspections and claims, and a phone a person answers. Homeowners weigh those signals in minutes.

Do online reviews matter for a roofing company?

Yes, a great deal, because a roof is a large purchase made on trust. BrightLocal's 2026 consumer survey reports that 97% of consumers read reviews for local businesses (a national figure, not specific to roofing). We set up a review request after every finished job and help you reply to each one.
