Storm restoration appointments, qualified before your crew drives out.
VA Horizon books exclusive, double-confirmed roofing estimate appointments for storm and restoration crews working a 1 to 3 day sales cycle. Every VA is trained on insurance-funded sales vocabulary, contingency agreements, Assignment of Benefits (AOB), and supplements, so the qualification call sounds like it came from inside your industry, not a generic script. Setup is a one-time $300 fee, then $199 per booked appointment, and a no-show gets replaced free instead of billed. The biggest cost in storm season is not a slow lead. It is a crew driving to a house with no real damage, or one already signed with the roofer down the street. That is the trip we are built to prevent.
$300 setup + $199 per booked appointment.
Storm season gives you one shot at each address.
A storm sales cycle runs 1 to 3 days from event to signed contract. Every hour a crew spends driving to the wrong house is an hour it is not spending at the right one.
A window that closes fast
Homeowners hit by hail or wind decide who gets the job inside a few days, not a few weeks. A callback scheduled for next Tuesday is often a lost job by then.
The trip nobody wants
Getting sent to a home with no real damage, or one that already signed with a competitor, is the single biggest fear storm crews report about buying appointments. We qualify against your criteria before the slot is booked, not after.
The deductible line we will not cross
Waiving or covering the deductible on a homeowner claim to close faster is illegal in at least 28 states, including Texas and Colorado. VAs are trained never to raise it as a sales tool, so your storm-market outreach stays on the right side of state insurance law.
AOB rules keep shifting
Florida banned Assignment of Benefits on residential and commercial policies issued or renewed after January 1, 2023 (Fla. Stat. Section 627.7152). A caller who does not know current AOB status sounds unprepared on a claims-funded sale, and homeowners notice.
Built to move at storm speed.
Four steps, run inside the same 1 to 3 day window your homeowners are already deciding in.
Storm-zone list build
We source and verify homeowners in your active service area ourselves, not from a shared marketplace database three other contractors already dialed.
Live storm qualification
The call checks for visible storm or hail damage, an open claim if one exists, and whether the homeowner is still deciding or already locked up elsewhere.
Insurance-fluent conversation
Contingency agreement, AOB, and supplement come up correctly when they come up, because the VA on the call understands what each term actually means to a homeowner mid-claim.
Double-confirmed, fast
The homeowner confirms once when the slot is set and again as your crew approaches, so nobody drives out to an empty driveway.
Same published rate, whether the storm just hit or hit last month.
$300 one-time setup, then $199 per booked appointment.
The $300 setup fee covers your storm-zone list build and calendar integration. After that, every booked appointment is $199, published, and fixed. No retainer, no per-lead fee, and no charge for a no-show, because it gets replaced free instead.
Exclusive
Every appointment is booked for you and only you. It is never resold to another contractor.

What counts as a qualified storm appointment.
Written down at kickoff, not decided after the fact.
Storm or hail damage present
Visible damage, or an active claim already opened, before the appointment counts as qualified.
Homeowner is the decision-maker
Not a renter, not someone already committed to an exclusive deal with another contractor.
Inside your service area
The exact ZIP codes and storm swath you are working, nothing outside it.
Available in your inspection window
A time your crew can actually make, not a someday appointment that slips a week.
Why storm crews stop wasting the trip.
None of the fifteen roofing lead and appointment vendors covered in our market research publish insurance-specific qualification criteria. Here is ours.
Insurance vocabulary, used correctly
Contingency agreement, AOB, supplement, ACV versus RCV. The VA on the call knows the difference and uses the right term with the right homeowner.
Deductible-safe, always
No appointment is ever booked by offering to cover or waive a deductible. That protects your license and the claim the homeowner already has open.
Double-confirmed before the truck rolls
Two checkpoints, not one, so a cold-footed homeowner gets caught before your crew burns the drive.
Exclusive, never resold mid-storm
An appointment booked for your crew is not sold to the roofer working the same hail swath a mile away.
