75.6% of Georgia's roofing contractors with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 65.3% nationally. 86.2% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

Phone system pricing for a 6-person roofing contractor

Roofing contractors in Georgia average 5.8 employees, so the comparison uses a 6-person team.
