No-Show Follow-Up Templates for Roofers

Same-Day No-Show Inspection Call
Use this script 15 minutes after a homeowner misses their scheduled roof inspection or estimate appointment.
Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Business Name]. I am currently at your property for our scheduled roof inspection, but I wasn't able to get a hold of you. I have my ladder and shingles samples ready to go. Please give me a call back or text me within the next 10 minutes so I can check for that storm damage we discussed before I head to my next job site. If I don't hear from you, I will have to head out to help another homeowner nearby.
Tips for this scenario
- -Mention you are already at the property to create a sense of urgency and respect for your time.
- -Reference the specific problem like 'storm damage' to remind them why they called you.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Sounding angry or annoyed on the voicemail when you are hot and tired from being on a roof all day.
!Failing to mention the specific financial impact, like missing an insurance claim deadline or a seasonal discount.
!Not leaving a clear 'next step' for the homeowner to take to fix the situation.
!Trying to handle follow-up calls while a nail gun or compressor is running in the background.
!Waiting more than 24 hours to follow up, allowing a faster competitor to steal the job.
