This is a quick look at the numbers behind that — what a call is worth in Lake Charles, when the ones you miss tend to come in, and what it takes to answer every single one.
A typical roofing job in Lake Charles runs around $1,290. Miss three or four of those calls in a month — the ones that come in while you are under a sink, on a roof or driving between Downtown and Moss Bluff — and you have given away more than most owners spend on marketing all quarter.

The 2021 flood came just months after Hurricanes Laura and Delta, and owners still call at the first heavy rain. Plant and refinery shift workers call early in the morning and late at night.
