Local nuance, federal posture.
Pentagon location and major defense contracting hub. For roofing contractors working this market, that means storm-chase leads pile up faster than the sales team can call them; 45–60% of canvassed leads go untouched within the first 72 hours.
We engage roofing contractors from Arlington on a remote-first basis with on-site availability for integration days, training, and major workflow rollouts. Engagements ship in two-week sprints with written acceptance criteria — the same discipline we run on DoD prime engagements, applied to a roofing contractor P&L.
Four workflows we deploy first.
Insurance supplement processing
Project manager reviews carrier scope vs. Xactimate-fair scope and writes a supplement justification per line item.
AI compares carrier scope against state-specific code requirements and historical approved supplements, drafting line-item justifications for PM review.
Proposal and signature
Rep presents tiered proposals (3-tab, architectural, premium) and collects e-signature; bottleneck is proposal prep time, not selling.
AI generates tiered proposals with shingle options, warranty tiers, and financing pre-qualification, ready in under 5 minutes from inspection close-out.
Production scheduling
Production manager schedules signed jobs against crew calendars, material delivery, dump logistics, and weather forecast.
AI optimizes the production board across crew, materials, and 10-day weather forecast, surfacing the highest-confidence install dates per job.
Review and referral generation
Post-install satisfaction is high but referral and review capture is inconsistent and rep-dependent.
AI triggers post-install review requests at moment-of-delight, drafts personalized referral asks, and routes 5-star customers to a structured referral cadence.
Lifts we measure on a typical engagement.
Driven by sub-5-minute AI lead response and auto-booked inspections.
AI-drafted inspection reports and proposals.
Driven by AI-drafted line-item justifications tied to state code.
From improved proposal speed, polish, and tier presentation.
