The Problem
The first contractor to respond wins the job.
5 minutes is too late
Studies show lead conversion drops 80% after the first 5 minutes. Most contractors take hours. By the time you call back, your lead already booked someone else.
Nobody answers the phone anymore
Homeowners screen unknown numbers. They'll text a stranger before they'll pick up a call. If your only follow-up is voicemails, you're talking to yourself.
Follow-up is the job nobody does
Your team means to follow up. They get pulled onto a roof. The lead goes cold. Ace doesn't get pulled onto a roof.
Key features
Your fastest, most patient salesperson. On every lead.
Responds in under 2 minutes, every time
The moment a lead fills out your estimator, Meta ad, or contact form, Ace texts them. Day, night, weekend, holiday. The lead never sits in an inbox waiting for someone to clock in.

Ace texted Mike
"Hi Mike, this is Ace from Vertex Roofing. Saw you just looked at a roof replacement — want me to set up a free inspection this week?"
Follows up until they respond
One text isn't follow-up. Ace texts and emails over days and weeks in a cadence that mirrors how a real salesperson works the lead — and stops the second they respond, opt out, or book.

Books the appointment when they're ready
Ace knows your team's availability and books the job inside the conversation. No 'let me check with my office' delay. The lead picks a time, it lands on your calendar, the homeowner gets a confirmation.
