6 roofers voicemail greetings
“You've reached [Business]. We're up on a roof and can't take your call. Leave your name, address and what's going on with your roof, and we'll call you back today.”
“Thanks for calling [Business]. If water is coming into your home, tell us your address and where it's coming in, and we'll call you back as soon as we can about getting it covered.”
“Thanks for calling [Business]. We're getting a lot of calls after the storm and we'll return every one. Leave your name, address, and whether you have an active leak or an insurance claim, and we'll call you back.”
“Hi, you've reached [Business]. To schedule a free inspection, leave your name, address and a couple of times that work. We'll call you back to confirm.”
“You've reached [Business]. If you're calling about an insurance claim, leave your name, address and your claim number if you have it, and we'll call you back to walk you through next steps.”
“Thanks for calling [Business]. We're closed for the day. If you have an active leak, say so and leave your address. Everything else, we'll call you back in the morning.”
The catch with any voicemail greeting
Even a great greeting only works if the caller leaves a message, and a lot of callers hang up and try the next business instead. Riley answers those calls live in your business's name, takes the same details these greetings ask for, and emails them to you.
Tips for a roofers greeting that works
- After storms, sort callers by active leaks first.
- Ask about insurance early; it shapes the whole job.
- Return storm calls fast; homeowners call several roofers.
How to record your new greeting
- iPhone: Phone app → Voicemail → Greeting → Custom → Record.
- Android: Phone app → menu → Settings → Voicemail → Greeting (wording varies by phone), or dial your voicemail and follow the prompts.
- Office or VoIP line: look for “greeting” in your phone system's settings or voicemail menu.
