Roofing has one of the lowest close rates in home services - typically 25-35%. For every job you close, there are 2-3 unsold estimates sitting in your pipeline. A CRM that follows up automatically recovers 15-20% of those lost deals.

Follow-Up Timing for Roofers
The most effective follow-up schedule for unsold roofing estimates:
- 48 hours: First text follow-up
- 7 days: Second follow-up with a time-sensitive offer
- 14 days: Final follow-up
- 90 days: Re-engagement for customers who didn't buy
One roofer on r/sweatystartup found $180,000 in unsold estimates through CRM reporting and recovered 18% with automated follow-up texts.
Worked Example: Roofing CRM ROI
$180,000 in unsold estimates × 18% recovery = $32,400 recovered from one follow-up round. Monthly: 20 estimates/month at $8,000 average. At 30% close rate: 6 jobs. With follow-up recovering 15% of 14 unsold: 2.1 additional jobs × $8,000 = $16,800/month. CRM cost: $250/month (JobNimbus). ROI: 67x. Roofing has high average ticket values, so even a small recovery percentage generates massive ROI.
What Not to Do
- Don't use a generic CRM for roofing. AccuLynx and JobNimbus integrate with EagleView, HOVER, and material suppliers. A generic CRM can't match these roofing-specific workflows.
- Don't skip the 48-hour follow-up. The first 48 hours after an estimate is the highest-conversion window. After 7 days, close rates drop significantly.
- Don't forget insurance claim tracking. If you do storm damage work, your CRM needs to track insurance claims, adjuster meetings, and approval status. Missing this data costs you jobs.
- Don't ignore lead source tracking. With roofing's high cost-per-lead, knowing which channels (Google Ads, door knocking, referrals) produce the best ROI is critical for budget allocation.
