OffDuty Trades Take the auditFree audit

For Ontario roofing companies

Stay on the roof. We'll handle the phone.

OffDuty Trades sets up simple systems that sort your texts by urgency, let homeowners price their own roof online and see a new one on their house, and write up the day's paperwork for you. No new apps to learn.

Built and supported in Ontario.

Three systems. Where your workday leaks.

Most roofers lose hours a week to the same three things. Each system fixes one of them. You can start with one and add the others later.

The phone

Interruption filter

Your phone buzzes on the roof, and you never know if it's an emergency or a supplier.

  • Every text is read and sorted: urgent, new lead or can wait
  • Urgent ones reach you right away
  • Everyone else gets a polite reply so nobody is left hanging

The quotes

Instant estimator

You drive out to price roofs for people who were only shopping around.

  • Homeowners type their address and see a price range from your prices
  • The roof is measured from satellite imagery
  • You get a text with the lead and how the price adds up

The paperwork

Paperwork autopilot

Hours, materials and follow-ups live in your head until you're too tired to write them down.

  • Call one number and talk for a minute at the end of the day
  • It becomes a tidy job log: hours, materials, issues, follow-ups
  • Follow-ups come back to you when they're due

Roof visualizer

Homeowners snap a photo of their house, pick a roof and colour, and see it on their own home in about 20 seconds. They leave their name and number to keep trying looks, and you get the lead with the exact roof they liked.

The Interruption Audit. How many hours is your phone costing you?

Eight quick questions. You'll see roughly where your week goes and which system would give you the most time back.

What you get:

  • A rough count of hours lost each week to calls, quotes and paperwork
  • What that time is worth at your rate
  • The one system that would help most, with a demo

Free, no obligation. It takes about a minute.

How it works. From audit to off duty.

01

Take the audit

A minute online shows where your week goes.

02

15-minute call

We go over your answers and show you the system that fits, set up with your own details.

03

We set it up

Your prices, your wording, your branding. You don't install anything.

04

We keep it running

Changes and fixes are handled for you. One person to call.

Questions. The usual ones.

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. You get texts, and the estimator sits on your website. If you can read a text message, you can use it. Everything is set up and looked after for you.

Will it book jobs into my calendar?

No. Nothing touches your schedule. The systems sort and collect information, and you decide when to call people back.

How accurate are the online prices?

They come from your own prices and a satellite measurement of the roof. Homeowners see a range, clearly marked as an estimate. Roofs that are too complex, too flat or too far away aren't priced. Those go to you to measure.

How realistic is the roof visualizer?

It's an AI preview of the style and colour on the homeowner's own photo, labelled as a preview, not a rendering of the finished job. It's there to help people picture it and pick a look. Each homeowner gets two free tries, then leaves a name and number to keep going, so you get the lead and the roof they liked.

Do I keep my phone number?

Yes. The filter runs on a business text line we set up for you, and you decide which number goes on your trucks, website and Google listing.

What does it cost?

It depends on which systems you use: a one-time setup and a monthly fee. The first roofers we work with get founding-client pricing. Take the audit or ask for a quote and we'll give you a straight number.

Where does customer information go?

Leads are texted to you and kept in a private lead log. It isn't sold or shared. See the privacy policy for the details.
