Before AutoPilotPro
Coastal Shield had built strong brand recognition in the Tampa–St. Petersburg market, but inconsistent profitability was undermining their success. Despite their reputation for quality work, they were attracting the wrong type of customer and missing opportunities on high-value projects that matched their expertise.
Lead Quality Issues
  • Too many inquiries from pure price shoppers
  • Frequent "ballpark-only" callers wasting time
  • Slow response times on complex, high-value leads
  • Missing opportunities on premium projects
Operational Challenges
  • Inconsistent Instagram presence diluting brand
  • 12 posts looked like 12 different companies
  • Crews reshuffled last minute constantly
  • Jobs weren't properly scoped or confirmed
"We kept winning the small jobs and missing the big ones. We needed a way to filter who we were talking to and show up like the premium option."
— Coastal Shield Owner
The company's core problem wasn't capability — it was positioning and systems. They had the expertise to handle premium projects but lacked the infrastructure to attract, qualify, and efficiently serve high-value clients. The disconnect between their quality work and their operational processes was costing them profitability and growth.
The AutoPilotPro Stack Deployed
Coastal Shield implemented AutoPilotPro with a laser focus on attracting and closing higher-value work. The comprehensive solution addressed every pain point in their customer journey, from initial contact through project completion. Each component worked together to create a seamless, premium experience that matched their brand promise.
01
roofersvoice.ai – High-Intent Lead Filtering
AI asks pre-qualifying questions: roof age, damage type, insurance status, and material preferences. High-value insurance and premium re-roof leads are flagged and routed to priority calendars. The system gracefully filters out pure price shoppers and "just curious" callers, ensuring the team focuses only on qualified opportunities.
02
rooferscontent.ai – Premium Brand Positioning
Content strategy focused on insurance claim education, premium materials (metal, tile, designer shingles), and long-term warranty benefits. Consistent visual style and branding across all posts and reels transformed their social media presence from scattered to sophisticated, positioning them as the authority in premium roofing.
03
CrewScheduler.ai – Scope-Based Scheduling
Different calendar blocks for small repairs, full re-roofs, and inspection-only visits. Crews matched to job complexity and location, dramatically reducing wasted trips and re-visits. The intelligent scheduling system ensured the right team was assigned to the right job every time.
04
AutoPilotPro Premium Roof Quote Funnel
Dynamic form capturing photos, insurance info, roof age, and budget range. Automatically sends a "Pre-Inspection Checklist" so homeowners are ready when inspectors arrive, streamlining the entire quote-to-contract process and demonstrating professionalism from the first interaction.
Results – First 120 Days
The transformation was dramatic and measurable. Within just four months, Coastal Shield Roofing evolved from a volume-focused operation struggling with profitability to a premium brand commanding higher prices and attracting ideal clients. The data tells a compelling story of strategic growth and operational excellence.

Social Media Impact
+56% increase in Instagram interaction transformed their digital presence. Saves and shares on educational posts became a major source of inbound DMs and quote requests, creating a self-sustaining lead generation engine.
The consistent, professional content strategy positioned Coastal Shield as thought leaders in premium roofing, attracting homeowners who valued quality over price.
Crew Productivity Gains
+24% improvement in crew productivity meant more work completed per crew per week. Better scoping and scheduling eliminated wasted trips, reduced downtime, and increased job completion rates. Crews spent more time installing premium roofs and less time dealing with logistics confusion.
Revenue Quality Transformation
The shift from volume to value fundamentally changed the business model. Fewer low-margin, discount jobs meant more focus on insurance-driven and premium material projects. The company could invest more in each project, deliver exceptional results, and build a reputation that commanded premium pricing.
Owner's Perspective
"We didn't just get more leads — we got better leads. AutoPilotPro helped us act like the premium brand we always said we were. The right customers find us, the AI filters out the bad fits, and the crews work smoother than ever."
