Route roofing requests to email, Google Sheets, Slack, and Zapier.

Better roofing intake
A focused roofing form captures the details your office needs to judge urgency and schedule the right visit.
Ask whether water is entering now, when it began, and which rooms are affected.
Property type, roof material, age, stories, and previous repairs give the estimator a starting point.
Separate repair, storm, maintenance, and replacement requests for consistent internal routing.
Requests you can handle
Use an opening service-type question and conditional fields so homeowners see only the questions relevant to their roof issue.
Capture symptoms, affected rooms, recent weather, previous repair attempts, and safe ground-level photos.
Record the storm date, visible damage, emergency covering status, and whether an insurance claim has started.
Ask about roof age, current material, project timing, material interests, and the owner's main priorities.
Include building contacts, roof access, operating constraints, check-in procedures, and purchase-order context.
Build the intake flow
Shape the questions and routing around the way your office handles new work.
List your repair, inspection, maintenance, replacement, and service-area requirements.
Add roof types, availability, and conditional follow-ups for leaks or replacement projects.
Send requests to the office or estimator based on service and urgency.
Embed the form on a service page and test it on a phone.
Form vs contact box vs phone tag
A structured form creates one request your team can review, route, and reference.
Field guide
These six groups guide a request without asking homeowners to diagnose the roof.
Contact and property
Separate requester details from the service address for rentals, managed properties, and commercial sites.
Service and urgency
Use service type and active-water questions for routing without asking homeowners to diagnose the cause.
Roof profile
Ask simple profile questions and offer an “I'm not sure” option for details homeowners may not know.
Issue description
Ask about interior symptoms and visible exterior concerns so the estimator can prepare.
Photos and files
Collect safe photos of stains or visible damage, and tell requesters not to climb for them.
Access and scheduling
Ask about gates, pets, parking, occupants, and access before offering visit windows.

Practical answers for roofing companies replacing a generic website contact box.
It is an online form for describing a roof problem and requesting an inspection, repair, or estimate. It keeps contact, property, issue, photo, access, and availability details in one submission.
Include contact details, service address, service type, active leak status, issue description, roof material and age, property type, photos, access notes, project timing, and inspection windows. Use conditional fields for repairs and replacements.
Yes. Add uploads for interior stains and damage visible from a safe location. Tell people not to climb or enter unsafe areas for a photo. Images provide context but do not replace an on-site assessment.
Ask about active water entry, affected areas, start time, contact number, and safe photos. Label those submissions and show your actual emergency instructions and service hours without implying instant response.
Yes. Use a service-type choice and conditional questions. Repair paths ask about symptoms; replacement paths ask about roof age, timing, materials, and priorities. Both share contact, photo, access, and scheduling fields.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect roofing requests without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.

Turn vague roof inquiries into useful requests.
