Storm Mode + Heat Wave
Modo Tormenta
The one machine that fires on weather, not calendars.
“After that last big blow, crews from Orlando had yard signs up in my neighborhoods before I'd finished checking my own house. Those were MY roofs.”
What it is
One weather machine with two modes, both riding the same free government weather feed. Roofers get storm mode, where a real warning means your past customers hear from you within the hour and get in your line. AC shops get heat mode, which reaches your best customers with a booking link the week before the first scorcher and in any week your board looks empty.
What you get
Armed within two weeks. Texting switches on in week 3, because carrier registration runs on the carriers' clock rather than ours.
How it lands
Pick your mode
Storm for roofers, heat for AC. On the setup call we calibrate your triggers against 2 to 3 years of local weather history, so the activation count is known before you pay for a season.
We build the page and load the book
Your storm or heat page goes up and your opted-in customer list gets loaded. Texts stay a hard rule, going only to customers with logged written consent.
Weather hits, you say GO
The feed trips a real threshold and you get one message asking you to reply GO. If you don't reply, no blast goes out, and if you do, your site flips and your book gets the booking link within the hour.
Work the list worst-first
Urgency gets triaged, with tarp-now ahead of leak ahead of tune-up, and clustered by street on your dispatch sheet. After 72 hours it switches itself off and sweeps once to ask who still needs help.
One mode is included per trade, and a second mode adds $500 setup at the same monthly rate. Seasonal billing is available at the same annual total.
The honest math
The roofer math runs like this. Two warned wind events a year with six inspections booked each, closing half, is three $1,200 repairs at 45% margin, or $1,620 per storm, plus one storm-driven $12,000 replacement at 30%. That comes to $6,840 against $5,640 all-in year one, which is 1.2x in year one and 1.65x after, and the AC heat math lands about the same. Heat mode wants 400+ reachable customers.
Year-one math includes the setup fee. Check any figure on this page with a calculator and it will hold.
The questions owners actually ask
No. Bare severe-thunderstorm warnings never activate, because your list would be ash by August. Storm mode fires only on hurricane and tropical-storm warnings, or on severe storms the weather service itself flags as destructive or carrying gusts of 70+ mph, and no blast goes out until you reply GO.
