The Company

Smith Roofing & Restoration

• Location: Fort Worth, Texas
• Founded: 2018
• Team size: 8 employees
• Annual revenue (2023): $1.2M
• Specialization: Residential re-roofs and storm damage restoration

The Problem (January 2024)

Owner Dave Smith was overwhelmed:

"We had more leads than we could handle, but we weren't closing enough of them. I was spending 40+ hours a week on estimates and admin work. We were turning away jobs because we were too busy to quote them. My estimator quit in December, and I couldn't find a replacement. I was seriously considering shutting down."

Specific pain points:

• Estimates taking 3-4 hours each
• 5-7 day response time on new leads
• No systematic follow-up process
• Lost 60% of estimates to competitors
• Missed calls = missed revenue
• No visibility into pipeline
• Manual QuickBooks data entry: 12 hours/week
• Customer communication chaos

The Numbers (January 2024):

• Monthly revenue: $98,000
• Estimates sent: 18/month
• Close rate: 22% (4 jobs)
• Average response time: 6.2 days
• Hours spent on admin: 52/week
• Customer satisfaction: 3.2/5 stars

The Solution (February 2024)

Dave implemented CompanySync with focus on:

1. AI-powered estimating
2. 24/7 AI call answering
3. Automated follow-up sequences
4. QuickBooks integration
5. Mobile field tools for crews

What Dave Says Now

"I almost gave up on the business in January. I was burned out, losing money on missed opportunities, and couldn't find help. CompanySync didn't just solve my software problem—it changed how I run my entire business.

Now I have time to think strategically instead of reactively. I can actually grow instead of just survive. My team is happier. My customers are happier. And I'm making more money while working fewer hours.

If I had known what a difference this would make, I would have done it two years ago. I probably left $500,000 on the table by waiting."
