Quick answer
You cannot take a call from a ridge. The homeowner with a ceiling stain calls the next roofer on the list. Missed-call text-back sends a text from the business number within seconds. Contractor Systems includes it on Advanced at $297 a month, with the website, the lead inbox, follow-up, and review requests. Monthly billing has a one-time $297 setup fee. Quarterly and annual billing waive it.
Does this work for contractors outside Florida?
The office is at 6901 Professional Pkwy E, Ste 232, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34240. The phone is (775) 297-0297. We work with contractors outside the 941. Most of our clients are on the Suncoast between Tampa and Fort Myers, and everything we build runs remotely, so distance isn't a limit. The service-area pages name Florida cities. Advanced is $297 a month and includes missed-call text-back. Pro is $597 a month. US carriers require registration before a business texts from a regular local number. Contractor Systems files the brand and campaign registration. On the pricing page, SMS 10DLC registration is included with the AI receptionist and with Pro and Master.

What does the homeowner see after a missed roofing call?
A text from the business number, within seconds of the missed call. They can reply on that thread. The reply lands in the lead inbox, with the calls, forms, and Google messages that need a response.
The roofing example in the product says the crew is on a roof, asks how to help, and then offers an inspection time. You approve the messages. A leak after last night's storm and a reroof that can wait a week should not get the same urgency. The business name in the phone, Suncoast Roofing, is fictional and labeled Example. The thread is the published sample for this trade.

Does the text come from the number already on the truck?
From a business number. Advanced includes a tracked number for the website and ads, with two-way texting from one app. You can forward the number on the trucks and on Google, or port it. Porting a cell phone number moves it off that phone. Most roofers forward instead and keep the personal line separate.
The number already on the yard signs can stay. HVAC companies and plumbers use the same setup. Read the Roofing page, the missed-call text-back guide (including the 10DLC fee table), and missed-call text templates.
Should you buy a standalone texting app?
A standalone texting app is another login and another bill, and you still need a website, a place for the storm lead, and follow-up until the inspection is booked. Contractor Systems puts missed-call text-back in Advanced with the website, the lead inbox, automatic follow-up, and review requests. Estimate follow-up is on Pro.

Questions
Will text-back book the inspection or only apologize?
The first text goes out within seconds. The next texts, which you approve, ask what's going on and offer a time. If you want the phone answered instead of texted, Pro adds the AI receptionist on top of text-back. Roofing · AI receptionist · Missed-call guide.
Is missed-call text-back included on Advanced?
Yes. Advanced is $297 a month and includes missed-call text-back, a tracked business number, the lead inbox, automatic follow-up, the website, and review requests. The one-time setup fee is $297 on monthly billing and is waived on quarterly and annual billing.
Does Contractor Systems charge extra for 10DLC registration?
US carriers require registration before a business texts from a regular local number, and unregistered texts get filtered or blocked. Contractor Systems files the brand and campaign registration. On the pricing page, SMS 10DLC registration is included with the AI Receptionist (After Hours and All Hours) and with Pro and Master. The Campaign Registry's own fees are listed on the missed-call text-back guide. Those fees are not a Contractor Systems price. See the fee table.
Does every customer get the Google review link?
Yes. Every customer gets asked after the job, and every customer gets the Google review link. If a customer is unhappy, they can also tell you privately so you can follow up. The Google link stays available either way.
