Find Homeowner Contact Info for Roofing Prospecting

The Problem: You Need a Name, a Number, and a Reason to Knock

Every roofing sales conversation starts the same way: you need to know who lives at the house, whether they're the owner, and how to reach them. Without that, you're knocking blind or buying a lead that four other contractors already called.

Pay-per-lead marketplaces like Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack sell you a form fill from a homeowner who may or may not be the decision-maker. They give you a name, a phone number they typed in, and a vague "interested in roofing" checkbox. You pay $25–$75 per lead, and the same lead gets sold to 3–4 other contractors. By the time you call, the homeowner has already heard the same pitch twice.

Roofbird does the opposite. It finds the homeowner's name, phone, and email from public property records and scrubs every number against the federal Do Not Call (DNC) registry — before you ever pay a cent. Here's exactly how it works and why it changes your prospecting.

Step 1: Roofbird Finds the Owner, Not Just the Address

When you scan a neighbourhood with Roofbird, the AI reads satellite and street-level imagery to identify every roof that shows signs of wear or damage. But a roof isn't a lead until you know who owns it.

For every roof that passes the quality filter, Roofbird pulls the full property record from county assessor data. That record includes:

• Owner name (first and last)
• Owner occupancy status (live-in owner vs. absentee/rental)
• Estimated market value and confidence level
• Year built, beds/baths, square footage, lot size, stories, garage
• Last sale date and price
• Annual property tax
• Mortgage lender
• Estimated owner equity (how much of the home they own free and clear)

All of this shows up on the lead card for free, as soon as the scan completes. You don't pay a credit or a fee to see who lives there. You only pay when you want the contact details.

Step 2: The Phone and Email Are Gated — and DNC-Scrubbed

Every lead card shows a small lock icon next to the phone and email fields. One click unlocks them, and that click costs one credit. But here's the part that matters: every number has already been checked against the federal Do Not Call registry. Roofbird labels each number with one of three statuses:

• Clear – The number is not on the DNC list. You can legally call it for sales (manual dialling only, no auto-dialler).
• DNC – The number is on the registry. Do not call it. Roofbird will not let you unlock it (the button is greyed out).
• Verify – The number could not be confirmed either way. Treat it as unknown; you may need to check state-specific rules.

If a lookup finds no contact number at all, the unlock never costs a credit. You get the property record for free, and you know you need to find another way to reach that homeowner (direct mail, door knock, skip tracing).

Step 3: You Decide Who to Call Based on More Than a Number

Unlocking a phone number is pointless if the homeowner isn't ready to buy. That's why Roofbird gives you two scores on every lead before you ever spend a credit:

• NEED score (0–100) – How badly the roof needs replacement, based on roof material, condition, estimated roof age (read off the shingles, not the building year), and visible wear signs.
• NOW score (0–100) – Whether anything is forcing a decision right now: visible active damage (tarp, missing shingles, exposed decking), hail damage on this specific roof, a recent home purchase (within 18 months), patching already attempted, or neighbours who have re-roofed.

Neighbourhood hail data is deliberately excluded from the NOW score because every home in the scan shares it — it can't separate one door from the next. The NOW score is about what's unique to THIS house.

So before you unlock a single phone number, you can filter your list to only show leads where the owner lives there, has a NOW score above 50, and has at least one "Clear" number. That filter alone saves you hours of cold calling dead ends.

Step 4: Unlock in Batches, Not One by One

You don't have to unlock every lead individually. Roofbird's list view shows all your leads in a sortable table with sticky headers and inline unlock buttons. You can:

• Sort by NEED score, NOW score, owner equity, or distance from your home base
• Filter by owner occupancy, trigger presence, DNC status, or minimum equity
• Select multiple leads and unlock their contacts in one batch (credits deducted per unique number)
• Export the list (on Hunter Pro plan) to your own CRM or spreadshee

For a typical morning route, you might scan a neighbourhood, filter to owner-occupied homes with a NOW score above 60 and a "Clear" phone, unlock 10–15 contacts for $10–$15 in credits, and head out the door with a printed door-hanger PDF for each stop.

What You Don't Get (and Why That's Good)

Roofbird doesn't sell you shared leads. It doesn't give you a phone number that four other contractors already called. It doesn't charge you for roofs that don't meet your criteria. And it never re-assesses a roof that someone else in your company already scanned — so re-scanning a neighbourhood only surfaces genuinely new homes.

Rejected roofs (low quality, no contact found, already assessed) never touch your monthly quota. You're charged for leads worth working, not for every roof the satellite saw.

Pricing That Matches the Workflow

Roofbird's pricing is built around the unlock model, not per-lead fees:

• Free trial: 25 leads + 10 homeowner-contact unlocks, no credit card required.
• Hunter ($199/mo): 500 leads per month + 50 unlocks per month.
• Hunter Pro ($499/mo): 2,000 leads per month + 150 unlocks per month, plus data export.
• Extra unlocks: $1 per additional contact unlock.
• Unlimited service areas on paid plans.

Flat monthly price. No surprises.

FAQ

Q: Are the phone numbers on Roofbird checked against the Do Not Call registry? A: Yes. Every number is DNC-scrubbed before it appears on a lead card. Numbers are labelled "Clear" (safe to call manually), "DNC" (do not call), or "Verify" (unconfirmed). You can filter your list to only show leads with at least one "Clear" number.

Q: Can I use Roofbird to send automated texts or robocalls? A: No. Roofbird's terms of service require manual dialling only. The contact data is intended for personal sales calls or direct mail, not for any form of automated communication.

Q: What if a lead has no phone number or email? A: The unlock never costs a credit. You still see the full property record and roof scores for free, so you can decide whether to door-knock or send direct mail based on the NEED and NOW scores.

Q: How does Roofbird find the homeowner's email? A: Email addresses are sourced from public records and data aggregators where available. Not every lead will have an email. If one exists, it appears alongside the phone number behind the same unlock.

Q: Is the homeowner contact info exclusive to me? A: Yes. Roofbird does not sell the same lead to multiple contractors. Each lead is generated from your scan of a specific area, and no other Roofbird user sees that home unless they scan the same area independently. Because scans are tied to your account, you're the only one who gets that lead.
