Texas-first automation for roofing and storm restoration

Storm leads go cold fast.
We help you capture them before storm chasers do.

Clear Automations builds storm lead capture, inspection booking, photo/document collection, insurance follow-up, and review workflows for Texas roofers who need speed without losing control of the customer relationship.

The leak is storm response

Roofers do not lose storm jobs because nobody needs a roof.

01

Hail and wind leads arrive in waves, and homeowners often talk to the first local roofer who responds clearly.

02

Inspection scheduling, photos, claim numbers, adjuster appointments, estimates, and contracts get scattered across calls, texts, and inboxes.

03

Storm follow-up gets messy fast, which lets out-of-area storm chasers look more organized than the local contractor.

The first build focuses on speed-to-inspection, documentation, and follow-up visibility. It does not diagnose roof damage, promise insurance approval, quote pricing, or replace contractor judgment.

Three phases. One storm pipeline.

Start with storm lead capture.
Then tighten claims, estimates, and reviews.

Phase 1

Storm Lead Capture

Available now - demo workflow ready

Faster callbacks and more booked inspections

Setup

$3,500

Monthly

$450/mo

Timeline

2-3 weeks

  • -Storm damage intake form with hail, wind, leak, and urgency scoring
  • -Missed-call callback queue for storm surges and after-hours calls
  • -Inspection scheduler handoff for qualified leads
  • -CRM pipeline for new lead, inspection booked, claim active, estimate sent, contract signed, and lost
  • -Owner digest for leads, inspections, stalled claims, and workflow failures

The system routes and organizes leads. It should not promise claim outcomes, adjuster decisions, or repair pricing.

Phase 2

Claim and Document Follow-Up

Ready after CRM and claim-process review

Fewer stalled claim and documentation steps

Setup

$2,500

Monthly

$650/mo

Timeline

2 weeks

  • -Photo and document collection checklist
  • -Insurance claim status follow-up
  • -Adjuster appointment reminder workflow
  • -Missing-document task queue
  • -Claim-stage owner dashboard

This phase tracks documents and follow-up. It does not provide legal advice or interpret coverage.

Phase 3

Estimate, Contract, and Review Recovery

Add after lead and claim flows are stable

More open estimates moved to signed work

Setup

$2,000

Monthly

$500/mo

Timeline

1-2 weeks

  • -Estimate follow-up sequence
  • -Unsigned contract reminder workflow
  • -Manager review queue for delayed decisions
  • -Post-job review request workflow
  • -Monthly storm-pipeline report

Review and SMS workflows require opt-in, unsubscribe language, and realistic frequency caps before production use.

Phase 1 can launch as a demo-safe workflow using business lead data. Production launch requires real phone, CRM, calendar, photo storage, and messaging rules to be reviewed first.

No claim-outcome promises

The automation tracks claim stages and follow-up; it does not promise insurance approval or coverage.

No roof diagnosis by AI

AI can collect context and route leads; inspection and damage assessment stay with qualified humans.

Homeowner privacy boundary

Do not collect payment cards, access codes, private notes, or full claim documents through public demo forms.

Contractor-owned pipeline

Designed to sit beside HubSpot, JobNimbus, Jobber, AccuLynx, Roofr, CompanyCam, or a simple spreadsheet pipeline.

Add to any phase

Tools policy

Tools we use around the storm restoration workflow

The demo uses n8n as the automation backbone and can connect to the contractor-owned CRM, phone, calendar, photo storage, and messaging stack after access is approved.

Allowed with prerequisites

Self-hosted n8n

Coordinates storm intake, callback queues, inspection scheduling, document reminders, review requests, and owner digests.

Retell AI (or approved voice agent)

Handles scripted lead capture and callback support without diagnosing roof damage or promising claim outcomes.

HubSpot or roofing CRM

Stores lead status, damage type, inspection stage, claim status, estimate stage, and follow-up tasks in the contractor's account.

Twilio, Telnyx, Resend, or Gmail

Used for production messaging only after sender identity, opt-in, and unsubscribe rules are configured.

Not used for claims or pricing decisions

AI claim advice

The demo does not tell homeowners what insurance will cover or how an adjuster will rule.

AI roof diagnosis

The demo does not diagnose hail, wind, leak, decking, flashing, or structural damage.

Unregistered bulk SMS

Production SMS campaigns need proper registration, opt-in records, and unsubscribe handling.

Hidden lead ownership

Clear Automations should not own the roofer's phone number, CRM, workflow exports, or homeowner list.

This is a planning model, not a case study. Replace it with approved client numbers after a pilot.

You own the storm system.

Your CRM, phone number, inspection calendar, workflows, templates, and homeowner list stay in your accounts.

Inspection speed comes first.

The workflow prioritizes storm calls, routes qualified leads, and keeps photo/document collection from becoming chaos.

Built against the storm-chaser problem.

The demo leans into local credibility, documentation, follow-up, and transparent handoff instead of pressure tactics.

Common questions

Before the first storm lead is routed

Will this replace my sales reps or office manager?+

No. The system captures, prioritizes, and organizes storm leads so your team can respond faster and with better context.

Can it handle storm surges after hail?+

Yes, as an intake and routing layer. It can classify leads, flag urgency, start photo/document collection, and create inspection tasks.

Does this work with JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Roofr, or CompanyCam?+

The first build can run beside those systems. Direct integrations depend on the platform, account access, and API/export options.

Can it help with insurance follow-up?+

It can track claim status, remind homeowners about missing information, and surface stalled steps. It does not promise coverage or give legal advice.

What does the audit form collect?+

Only business workflow information: company, contact, service area, tools, lead volume, storm lead source, and the biggest revenue leak.
