Every lead comes with the homeowner's contact details.

A scored roof is only half the job — you still have to reach the owner. One click on any lead unlocks the owner's name, phone numbers, email, and mailing address, each phone flagged clear vs DNC so you know who's safe to call — plus the property's whole record: estimated value + confidence, year built, last sale, beds/baths, square footage, lot, tax, and lender to size the job before you knock. No skip-tracing tools, no bought lists. And if we can't find a phone or email, it never costs you a credit.

The problem

Thousands of roofs in your area. Only 200 are worth knocking.

Most roofers' lead-gen is 90% wasted effort. Door-knock blind, buy stale lists, run ads to anyone with a roof. The houses that actually convert hide in plain sight: aging materials, visible wear, neighborhoods already replacing, the right roof type for what you install. Roofbird has already read them — so finding them is a question you ask, not a job you run.

Bought lists are dead

Vendors sell the same 500 leads to 8 roofers. By the time you knock, the homeowner has been pitched seven times.

DIY doesn't scale

You could open Google Earth and check every roof in your zip, for the next three weeks. Roofbird has already read them — ask, and the answer is instant.

Generic AI doesn't know you

A residential asphalt shop and a commercial-flat specialist need different leads from the same map. Most tools can't tell them apart. Ours can.

How it works

You ask. It works. You walk.

The first two cost nothing. You only spend when you tell it to open a door — and it quotes you the number before it does.

01

Tell us your business

Drop your website. We learn what you install and how you sell.

Residential asphalt? Tile or slate specialist? Metal-only? Commercial flat? Insurance retrofit? Age-driven re-roofs? Roofbird's proprietary AI reads your site and builds a profile of materials, sales angle, and USPs that judges every roof it later scores. The same map gives different lead lists to different businesses.

02

Ask in plain words

Say what you want and it answers from ground it has already read.

‘Find me the worst roofs in 75216.’ ‘Houses where most of the neighbours have already been re-roofed.’ ‘Which of these have a tarp on them?’ Searching what has already been read is free, instant and unlimited — and for a question no database can answer, it opens the actual photographs and looks, which is also free. If you ask about ground nobody has read yet, it tells you how many houses are there and what reading them would cost before it touches anything. You can still draw the polygon yourself: a street, a neighbourhood, one side of town.

03

Take the route

It puts the doors in walking order and hands you the owners.

Every roof is placed against the roofs either side of it — replace-now, worn, midlife, or already done — because a roof only means something next to its neighbours. Roofs you would not have closed anyway are flagged as exactly that, so you stop chasing them. Ask for a morning's work and it orders the doors into a walk you can actually drive to, each with a sentence about what it saw on that roof and the date of the photograph it read. One credit opens a house completely: the roof in full, the address, the owner's name, DNC-flagged phones and email, and the whole property record.

Tell it once.

Say “I only do asphalt”, “there’s two of us so eight doors is a day”, “nothing under 2,000 square feet is worth my morning” — and it holds on to it. Every search after that is already filtered the way you work, and you never type it again. You can read everything it believes about you on one page, and change any line that’s wrong.

It keeps what lasts, not what you asked

“Show me Katy” is a request and it’s forgotten. “I work Katy on Tuesdays” is a fact and it stays. A tool that remembers everything is useful about nothing.

You can see every word of it

One page, in your words, with where each line came from — what you said outright versus what it worked out. Agree with it, edit it, switch it off, or delete it.

Correct it and it moves on

Started doing metal? Say so once. The old rule stops applying that minute, and it won’t argue with you about what you told it last month.

And it now says which roofs it has actually seen.

A contractor in Missoula drove nine of our doors and eight had already been re-roofed. His whole neighbourhood was ranked off a July 2016 photograph while a 2025 street-level shot of the same houses sat there unread. So every shortlist is now checked against the newer picture before you see it, and the ones we genuinely cannot see — behind tree canopy, set too far back — say so instead of pretending. Where the camera could see his roofs we matched what he found on the ground 4 of 4; where it could not, 0 of 5.

Already done? It says so

A roof the street photo shows has just been replaced is moved down your list and told to you plainly. Knowing which quarter of a street is dead is worth as much as knowing which quarter is hot.

One read, both cameras

Looking at a roof properly buys the view from above, the view from the road and the property record together. Nobody should pay twice for the same house.

The owner is a separate step

Names and phone numbers cost real money, so you buy them for the doors you picked — not for forty houses you haven't looked at yet.

Ask it about your own streets. Knock the answers.

Drop your website so Roofbird learns what you install, then ask it anything:which of these have a tarp on them, who has the worst roof on Maple,six doors for Tuesday morning, in walking order. Asking, searching and saving cost nothing — a credit is only spent when you tell it to open a door, and it quotes you the number first.

Works with your CRM

Your best leads are already in your CRM.

The estimate that went cold in 2023. The storm canvass nobody worked. Those roofs have aged since, and some of them are ready now. Connect your CRM and Roofbird reads every roof on your existing list, then hands back the ones worth a call — from records you already trust, with phone numbers you already own.

Which roofs are actually failing

Every address read from satellite and street imagery and ranked against the others, so a list you were ignoring becomes a call sheet ordered by who is closest to needing a roof.

A reason to call this one today

Each record comes back with a plain sentence about what the AI saw — granule loss on the south slope, a patch somebody already paid for, newer roofs either side. Specific and checkable beats “we’re doing roofs in the area.”

The ones to stop chasing

Roofs that have already been replaced are flagged as exactly that. Knowing which quarter of your follow-up list is dead is worth as much as knowing which quarter is hot.

And it works the other way too

New leads from a scan can go straight into the same CRM — as a contact in JobNimbus, a contact and a job in AccuLynx, or a pin on the map in SalesRabbit — each carrying the assessment, the reason to knock, the imagery date and the DNC status of every number. Nobody on your crew has to log in here to get the work.

FAQ

Honest answers.

What does Roofbird's AI actually read?

Two things. Imagery — from two angles, read together into ONE assessment (not two conflicting opinions): top-down public satellite (roof material, complexity, footprint, solar, tree overhang, neighboring roof patterns) AND ground-level Street View, where the AI reads the façade for side-visible wear a top-down tile can't see — granule loss, algae streaking, curling shingles, patched sections, rusted flashing. Plus property records and your business profile (auto-pulled when you drop your website): materials you install, sales angle, logo, brand color, contact phone. From all of it the AI places the roof against the ones around it — worst on the street, worse than neighbours, about the same, newer — with a plain-English verdict in a roofer's words and the exact reasons that raised and lowered the number. You also see the estimated roof age (read off the shingles, not the building's year), the specific wear signs, both images, an estimated job-value range, and a ready-to-say door-pitch line for that roof.

What's in an unlock?

One click on any lead unlocks the owner and the property in one shot. Owner side: name(s), mailing address, DNC-scrubbed phone numbers and emails (each phone flagged clear vs on the DNC list), and whether it's owner-occupied or an absentee/out-of-area owner. Property side: estimated (AVM) market value plus a confidence score, year built, last sale date and price, beds/baths, living square footage, lot size, stories, garage, annual property tax, and mortgage lender. An unlock only counts against your allowance if we actually find a phone or email — a miss is free. Calls are manual and DNC-scrubbed only (TCPA): no texts, no robocalls.

Is this just a storm-chasing tool?

No, storms are one signal among many. Plenty of replacements happen with no storm at all: aging asphalt past 20 years, heavy moss damage, neighborhood ripple effects (5 houses on a street recently re-roofed), insurance pre-claim assessments, pre-sale refreshes. Roofbird's AI weighs whatever signals apply to each specific roof. Retrofit-focused shops in non-storm markets get just as much value as storm chasers.

So you're not detecting damage from satellite?

We score baseline roof condition + age + business fit from imagery + records + your profile. The ground-level Street View read catches wear a top-down tile misses (granule loss, streaking, curling), but both the satellite tile and the Street View pano are periodic captures — months or years old, not post-storm. We're not selling 'we found yesterday's hail damage', we're selling 'we found the 10 houses in your polygon that look most worth your time, given what you install and what their roofs look like today.'

What's the difference between a 'kept' lead and a 'skipped' one?

Every roof in your polygon is read and placed against its neighbours. Roofs that have already been replaced, are the wrong material for your shop, or show no visible wear are labelled as exactly that and kept out of your way — knowing which quarter of a street is dead is worth as much as knowing which quarter is hot. There is no quota to burn and no per-lead fee. The live scan summary shows what was read, what was kept and what was ruled out, and why.

Can I add a specific roof I already know about?

Yes. Inside any service area, search the address or click the map to drop a pin. Drop multiple pins and read them all in one go. They are ranked, tagged and get PDFs like any other roof, and they cost the same as any other roof you read.

What's the door-hanger PDF?

A one-page printable for each lead. Your business logo (auto-pulled from your website), the roof grade, the door-pitch one-liner Roofbird's AI generated from that specific roof, a satellite shot, condition signs, and your contact info. Print, leave on the door after the knock, win the followup call.

What if my business is commercial flat, not residential?

Roofbird's AI scores fit-for-YOU. If your profile says you install TPO/EPDM/PVC commercial membranes, the AI promotes commercial flat roofs and demotes residential asphalt as 'wrong material.' Same engine, your profile inverts what counts as a good lead. Works the same for tile specialists, metal-only shops, slate restorers, etc.

How do I know which neighbourhood to pick?

Roofbird picks for you. Search the area you work — a town, a suburb, a ZIP, or a street — and it reads the blocks in view and ranks them by housing era, what share of roofs read as weathered, the real home count from building footprints, hail in the last 12 months, and whether the block is walkable or scattered acreage on long driveways. Click a suggestion and it draws the area; drag the corners or draw your own if you already know the street. It only suggests blocks worth the trip — if nothing in view clears the bar it says so rather than sending you somewhere you should skip. This gets better over time: block quality is the same fact for every roofer, so every scan anyone runs sharpens the map.

What's the difference between the Need score and the Now score?

Need is how badly the roof needs replacing — condition and roof age, read off the shingles. Now is whether anything is forcing a decision on that specific house: visible damage like a tarp or missing shingles, hail damage on that roof, a purchase in the last 18 months, patching already attempted, or neighbours who have visibly re-roofed. Most homes in a settled neighbourhood honestly have no trigger, and Roofbird says 'no trigger yet' instead of inventing urgency. Crucially, neighbourhood-wide hail does NOT raise the Now score — every home in the scan got the same storm, so it can't tell one door from the next. It belongs in your pitch, not the ranking.

Do you tell me if the neighbours have already re-roofed?

Yes. Roofbird compares the roof against the houses immediately either side from a wider satellite view centred on the target, and flags it when they've visibly gone new and this one hasn't. It raises the Now score, because a street where everyone else has already replaced is the strongest close in the trade. It only counts when the contrast is obvious — similar-looking roofs either side is not treated as a trigger.

How long does a homeowner have to file a hail claim?

Where a hail event is on record for the property, Roofbird shows roughly how many months are left based on the typical notice deadline in that state — 24 months in most of the plains states, 12 in Florida and Colorado. Treat it as a prompt for the conversation, not a legal deadline: always verify with the carrier. Roofbird does not predict whether a claim will be approved.

How often should I re-scan?

Whenever you've worked through the current batch. Every scan picks up roofs the engine hasn't shown you yet from the polygon, typically 5,000+ homes deep before a serious shop runs out of fresh candidates. Most one-truck Hunters re-scan once or twice a week.

Can I export to my CRM?

CSV export is included on Hunter and Hunter Pro.

Cancellation, refunds?

Cancel any time from your account's billing page, one click, no phone calls. You keep full access through the period you've already paid for. Unused leads in the current month aren't refunded, but a downgrade to a smaller plan takes effect on the next billing cycle if you'd rather scale down than cancel.
