Pay Per Call Marketing in Kings County, NY for Roofers

A Brooklyn roofing call that ends with a booked job is not a finished job yet. New York gives a homeowner three days to cancel after signing a home improvement contract, and the cancellation has to be in writing. The Department of State also tells consumers to insist on a written contract with start and finish dates, a scope of work and an itemized price, and not to pay the full amount upfront (Source: dos.ny.gov.). Callers who know that advice tend to ask on the phone how you write up a job, and the answer they hear decides whether you get the visit.

The second question after the leak

Once a Kings County caller has asked whether you can come today, the next question is usually about the licence. New York City requires anyone doing construction, repair or remodeling on a residential building to hold the Home Improvement Contractor licence issued by DCWP. To get it, a contractor posts a $20,000 surety bond or joins the Trust Fund, passes a 30-question exam, and renews after a two-year licence period (Source: nyc.gov.). Have the number ready and say it early. It settles the question in a sentence.

When the phones light up

Nor'easters and tropical storms bring the bursts: wind-driven rain through the night, then a morning of calls from top-floor apartments, parlour floors and the back rooms of row houses, from Bay Ridge to Downtown Brooklyn and out to Coney Island. They all want a live answer while the water is still coming in. Heat brings a slower kind of call. The city links extreme heat to over 500 deaths a year (Source: nyc.gov.), and in the hottest weeks Brooklyn calls turn to blistered membranes and dark roofs cooking the floor beneath.

Who you are actually talking to

Kings County has 1,009,927 occupied homes, and 297,916 of them are owner-occupied (Source: data.census.gov.). Many callers are tenants reporting a leak in somebody else's building; some are managing agents ringing for a co-op board. We route on the building address and establish early whether the caller can authorise roof work, because the person holding the bucket is often not the person who signs the contract.

The connected call

What reaches you is a live caller in Brooklyn about a building they can act for, put through to you and to no other roofer. Exclusive means the same caller is not sold on to a competitor an hour later. A caller from Queens or Staten Island, a wrong number or a sales pitch is not a connected roofing call.
