Where to Scan in Garland: Let the AI Pick the Blocks
Garland covers 57 square miles with housing from the 1950s through the 2000s. The older sections near downtown and the areas around Lake Ray Hubbard have a higher concentration of 20+ year old roofs. Roofbird's 'where to scan' feature analyzes every block in your service area — a ZIP, a street, or a custom polygon — and ranks them by roof wear, housing era, hail history, and walkability. It tells you, for example, that the blocks around Garland High School have dense, walkable streets with mostly 1990s composition roofs showing moderate wear, while the acreage lots near the golf course spread doors too far apart for a productive morning. You don't guess; you scan the blocks Roofbird says are worth the trip.
Roofbird has already scanned homes in Texas, including in Parker County and Randall County, proving the system works in the region. The same AI that read those roofs is ready for Garland.
- Enter a Garland ZIP (75040, 75043, 75044) or street name
- Roofbird ranks every visible block by roof condition, housing era, hail history, and walkability
- Blocks below the bar are skipped — you only scan where the data says it's worth your time
- Draw your own polygon or accept Roofbird's suggested scan area
Two Scores: Need vs. Now — Separate the Worn Roofs From the Urgent Ones
In Garland, many roofs look worn but the homeowner isn't ready to buy. Roofbird gives every lead two numbers. The NEED score reflects roof condition and estimated age — how badly the roof needs replacement. The NOW score flags active triggers: visible damage (missing shingles, tarp, exposed decking), a recent hail event on that specific roof, a home purchase in the last 18 months, or neighbours who have already re-roofed. The April 2026 hailstorms in Dallas County produced stones up to 2 inches — large enough to cause damage that insurers will cover. Roofbird shows which Garland homes have hail debris visible in the imagery, and it estimates how long the homeowner has left to file a claim based on Texas's typical notice deadline (roughly one year from the storm date). Always verify with the carrier.
A lead with a high NEED but low NOW is a roof that will need replacement eventually — good for a follow-up list. A lead with high NOW means the homeowner has a reason to decide now. Roofbird never blends them into one meaningless score.
- NEED: roof condition + age (0-100)
- NOW: active damage, recent hail, recent sale, neighbour re-roofs (0-100)
- Claim countdown shown for hail-affected homes (always verify with carrier)
- Neighbourhood hail does not raise NOW — only roof-specific triggers do
Every Roof Read From Two Angles: Satellite + Street View
A satellite tile alone misses side-visible wear. Roofbird combines the top-down view with a ground-level Street View image of the facade. That second angle catches granule loss, algae streaking, curling shingles, patched sections, and rusted flashing. It also compares the roof against its immediate neighbours — if the houses on either side have been re-roofed and this one hasn't, that social proof is flagged. For a Garland home on a street where three neighbours have new roofs, the homeowner is already primed. Roofbird shows the material, condition, estimated roof age (read from shingles, not the building year), wear signs, both images, estimated squares and job value range, and a ready-to-say door pitch.
Low-quality roofs are dropped before they reach your list — you're only charged for leads worth working.

The Homeowner's Contact Details — DNC-Scrubbed and Ready to Call
Opening a house in Garland costs 1 credit and brings the owner's name, occupancy status (owner-occupied or absentee/rental), estimated market value, year built, last sale date and price, beds/baths, square footage, lot size, stories, garage, annual property tax, mortgage lender, and estimated equity. Equity tells you whether the homeowner can say yes. The same credit brings the phone and email, and every number is checked against the federal Do Not Call registry. 'Clear' means safe to call manually; 'DNC' means don't call; 'verify' means treat as unknown. A failed lookup is refunded, though a nobody-listed answer is charged.
You can filter your list by owner-occupied, active trigger, minimum equity, and contact state. Export the list or print door-hanger PDFs for a route.

One-Off Credit Packs: No Subscription, No Shared Marketplace
Roofbird replaces pay-per-lead marketplaces like Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack. Those sell the same lead to four or more contractors. Roofbird does not sell leads one by one or resell them through a marketplace: it ranks every roof and you choose which ones to act on. There's no shared marketplace and no sales call to sign up. The free trial is 10 credits with no credit card, and it ranks up to 1,000 houses. Then there are one-off credit packs from $49: Starter $49 for 49 credits, Crew $99 for 125, Hunter $199 for 300, and Pro $399 for 800. No subscription, nothing renews, and bought credits never expire. Opening a house completely costs 1 credit: the roof read, the street address, the owner's name, phone numbers with Do-Not-Call flagged, an email where one exists, and the 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, at any size, as many areas as you like. A typical list (read about 80 roofs, get the owners for the best 30) uses about 20-25 credits.
