Where to Scan in Chattanooga
Before you draw a single polygon, Roofbird reads the neighborhoods you work and ranks them by housing era, roof wear, hail history, and walkability. In Chattanooga, that means you can compare the older bungalows in St. Elmo or the historic districts near downtown with the newer subdivisions in East Brainerd or Ooltewah, and see which blocks have the most weathered roofs.
Roofbird doesn't guess which areas are worth your morning. It counts actual homes from building footprints, checks whether hail has hit Hamilton County in the last 12 months, and flags scattered acreage that would kill your doors-per-hour. If a neighborhood doesn't clear the bar, it tells you plainly instead of sending you on a wasted drive.
- Ranks blocks by housing era, roof wear, hail history, and walkability
- Counts homes from building footprints, not estimates
- Flags long driveways and rural routes as poor canvassing
- Honest about neighborhoods that aren't worth the trip
Two Scores: Need and Now
Roofbird separates 'needs a roof' from 'will decide now' with two scores. The NEED score reflects roof condition and age, read from the shingles themselves. The NOW score looks for active triggers: visible damage, recent hail on that specific roof, a recent purchase, or neighbors who have re-roofed.
In Chattanooga, where wind events have hit Hamilton County multiple times in the last 18 months, the NOW score helps you prioritize homes that might have a claim window open. But Roofbird doesn't inflate urgency just because it's storm season. Most homes in a settled neighborhood have no trigger, and it says so.
- NEED score: roof condition and age only
- NOW score: active triggers that force a decision
- Neighborhood hail does not raise NOW, because it doesn't separate one door from the next
- Shows estimated claim window based on state notice deadlines, with a reminder to verify with the carrier
Homeowner Contacts, DNC-Scrubbed
Every house you open includes the property record: owner name, occupancy status, estimated equity, last sale date, and more, along with the street address, the phones and the email. Opening a house completely costs 1 credit, and every number is checked against the federal Do Not Call registry. You'll see 'clear' for safe manual calls, 'DNC' for don't call, and 'verify' for unknown.
This is the difference between Roofbird and a shared marketplace. You're not buying a lead that four other contractors already called. You're getting a homeowner's contact details that you can call or mail directly, with confidence that you're not violating regulations.
- Owner name, occupancy, equity, and property details on every lead
- DNC-scrubbed phone numbers labeled clear, DNC, or verify
- Manual dialing only, no auto-dialers
- No contact found? No credit charged.
Work the List Like a CRM
Roofbird gives you a card view or a sortable table with filters on everything it knows. Filter by owner-occupied, active damage, claim window open, minimum need score, or contact state. Add your own tags, export the list, or print door-hanger PDFs for your route.
Low-quality roofs are dropped before they reach your list, so your credits go on roofs worth working. Re-scanning an area surfaces genuinely new homes, not the same roofs again.
- Filter by need, now, occupancy, equity, and contact state
- Open a house from the list in one click, no PDF juggling
- Export or print door-hanger PDFs on every pack
- No charge for low-quality or duplicate leads
Credit Packs That Scale With Your Crew
Start with a free trial: 10 credits, no card, and it ranks up to 1,000 houses. After that you buy one-off credit packs: Starter $49 for 49 credits, Crew $99 for 125, Hunter $199 for 300, Pro $399 for 800. No subscription, nothing renews, and bought credits never expire. Opening a house completely costs 1 credit (roof read, street address, owner name, phones with Do-Not-Call flagged, email, property record). Reading roofs in bulk is 1 credit per 8 roofs, and owners in bulk are 1 credit per 2 roofs. Drawing areas and ranking every roof in them is free.
A typical list (read about 80 roofs, get the owners for the best 30) uses about 20-25 credits, and Roofbird never charges per lead. You're not bidding against other contractors for the same shared lead from Angi or Thumbtack. Roofbird ranks every roof and you choose which ones to act on, so you're building your own pipeline.
