AI reads 300 roofs a morning. You knock the 10 that are failing.

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 assigns its own 0–100 buy-probability score — no hidden formula — 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.

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.

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.

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.'

Every roof in your polygon gets scored. Roofs Roofbird's AI rates low-likelihood (recently replaced, wrong material for your business, no visible wear) get dropped, they don't count against your monthly quota. Only high & medium-likelihood roofs land in your list. The live scan summary shows the breakdown so you see exactly what got filtered.

Yes. Inside any service area, search the address or click the map to drop a pin. Drop multiple pins and score them all in one click. Manual adds count 1:1 against your quota since you picked them on purpose, but they still get scored, tagged, and PDFs generated like any other lead.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
