After the storm, the first written quote wins.
When a storm comes through, every roofer in the county is on a ladder. Measure, photograph, send from the driveway, and let follow-up run while you're on the next roof.
Where quotes go missing.
After a storm, measurements and photos pile up faster than the office can turn them into written estimates. A customer may have three visits booked before the first total reaches them.
Send the measured scope from the driveway. The short storm-week cadence puts a call on the board while the customer is still comparing the tear-off, material and flashing lines.

When it gets busy.
Insurance jobs: add the adjuster as a second contact with view-only access, so they open the same copy the homeowner does.
A storm can put fifty estimates into one week. Send each one from the driveway with its photos, and switch back to the slower cadence once the calls stop.
Questions from roofing shops.
Can an adjuster read the quote?
Add the adjuster as a second contact with view-only access. They open the same copy as the homeowner.
Which reminder comes first during storm week?
The starting point uses a text on day 1, a call on day 3 and an email on day 7. Change the cadence when the rush is over.
Should the tear-off be a separate line?
Keep the scope readable. This sample separates tear-off, shingles, underlayment, flashing and the dumpster so a customer can compare what is included.
