Where to scan in Green Bay before you knock a single door
Most roofing lead sources in Green Bay start with a form fill or a purchased list, which means you are working someone else's idea of a good neighborhood. Roofbird starts with the map. Type in a ZIP, a suburb, or a street, and it reads the neighborhoods in view and ranks them before you commit to anything.
For each block it reports the housing era, what share of roofs read as weathered, how many homes are actually there (counted from building footprints, not estimated from lot area), whether hail has hit in the last 12 months, and how walkable the block is. Scattered acreage on long driveways gets flagged as poor canvassing even after a perfect storm, because a morning is measured in doors per hour, not in square miles driven.
That matters in Brown County specifically. The hail event on 2026-04-14 and the repeated wind events across 2025 and 2026 did not land evenly across the metro. Some blocks took the hit, some did not. Roofbird only suggests blocks that clear the bar, and when nothing in view is worth the trip it says so rather than sending you out to burn a day.
- Search a ZIP, suburb, or street and get neighborhood rankings before you draw anything
- Housing era, share of weathered roofs, home count, 12-month hail history, and walkability per block
- Click a suggestion and Roofbird draws the area for you, or draw your own polygon
- No suggestions offered when nothing clears the bar, rather than three neighborhoods you should skip
Every roof read from above and from the road
Roofbird reads the top-down overhead tile and a ground-level Street View of the façade together into one combined assessment. The overhead view gives you the roof's size, planes, and pitch. The street-level view catches what a top-down tile misses: granule loss, algae streaking, curling shingles, patched sections, rusted flashing, and side-visible wear.
It also compares the roof against its immediate neighbours from a wider centred view. If the houses on either side have visibly been re-roofed and this one has not, that gets flagged. In Green Bay's older neighborhoods, where re-roofing has happened street by street over the last decade, a block where most of the neighbours have already gone new is the strongest social proof a rep can carry to a door.
Each roof is placed against the roofs either side of it: replace-now, worn, midlife, or already done. Alongside that sits a plain-English verdict in a roofer's words, the specific reasons behind it, and the capture date of the imagery it was judged from. You also get roof material, estimated roof age read off the shingles rather than the building's year built, wear signs, both images, an estimated squares and job-value range, and a ready-to-say door pitch.
- Overhead tile plus ground-level Street View combined into one read
- Neighbour comparison flags roofs that have fallen behind the street
- Plain-English verdict, imagery capture date, material, roof age, wear signs, squares, and job-value range
- A ready-to-say door pitch on every lead
Need and Now: two scores, because they answer different questions
Every Green Bay lead carries two numbers. NEED measures how badly the roof needs replacing, based on condition and roof age alone. NOW measures whether anything is forcing a decision on this specific house right now: visible active damage like a tarp, missing shingles, or exposed decking; hail damage on this roof specifically; a purchase in the last 18 months; patching already attempted; or neighbours who have already re-roofed.
Neighbourhood hail deliberately does not raise the NOW score. Every home in a scan shares the same hail history, so it cannot separate one door from the next. It belongs in the pitch, not in the ranking. That is the opposite of how storm-chasing lists are built, and it is why the ranking is worth trusting. Most homes in a settled Green Bay neighborhood honestly have no trigger, and Roofbird says so rather than inventing urgency to look busy.
Where a hail event is on record, Roofbird shows roughly how long the homeowner has left to file an insurance claim, based on the typical notice deadline in Wisconsin. Treat that as an estimate and verify with the carrier. It is a countdown to start a conversation, not a legal deadline and not a guarantee that a claim will be approved.
- NEED: condition and roof age only
- NOW: active damage, roof-specific hail damage, recent purchase, prior patching, or re-roofed neighbours
- Neighbourhood-wide hail stays out of the ranking and goes into the pitch
- Claim-window estimates are based on typical Wisconsin notice deadlines, verify with the carrier
The homeowner, not just the house
The full property record shows on every lead for free as soon as it is scanned: owner name, whether they live there or it is an absentee or rental owner, estimated market value and confidence, year built, last sale date and price, beds and baths, living square footage, lot size, stories, garage, annual property tax, and mortgage lender. Roofbird also estimates the owner's equity, because equity is what decides whether someone can actually say yes. When the deed record cannot support an estimate, it says so instead of guessing.
Only the phone and email sit behind a one-click unlock. Every number is DNC-scrubbed and labelled. Clear means it was checked against the federal Do Not Call registry and is safe for a manual sales call. DNC means do not call it. Verify means the scrub could not confirm either way, so treat it as unknown. Manual dialling only, no texts and no auto-dialler. A lookup that finds no contact never costs a credit.
For Green Bay reps working older neighborhoods with absentee owners, the mailing address on the record is often the more useful contact path than the phone, especially on rentals and inherited properties.
- Owner name, occupancy status, market value, year built, last sale, beds and baths, lot, taxes, and lender
- Owner equity estimate, with an honest no-estimate flag when the deed record cannot support one
- DNC-scrubbed phone and email behind a one-click unlock, labelled clear, DNC, or verify
- Manual dialling only, no texts or auto-dialler
Work the list like a CRM, not a PDF
Green Bay lists stay usable after the first pass. Card view or a side-by-side table with sticky headers, frozen actions, zoomable imagery, and inline unlock. Filter on owner-occupied versus absentee, has a live trigger, active damage visible, insurance claim window still open, property record present, minimum need score, minimum roof age, minimum owner equity, and contact state including callable, meaning at least one number confirmed off the DNC registry. Add your own tags, export, or print door-hanger PDFs for the route.
There is no quota and no per-lead fee. Roofs already replaced, the wrong material for the shop, or not homes at all are read, labelled as exactly that, and kept out of the way. Knowing which quarter of a Green Bay street is dead is worth as much as knowing which quarter is hot. A building anyone has already assessed is never re-assessed from scratch and never re-charged, so re-scanning an area surfaces genuinely new homes instead of the same roofs again.
- Card view or table view with zoomable imagery and inline unlock
- Filter on occupancy, live trigger, active damage, open claim window, need score, roof age, equity, and callable status
- Custom tags, export, and printable door-hanger PDFs for the route
- No quota, no per-lead fee, and no re-charging for roofs already assessed
Pricing: one meter, and looking is free
Roofbird runs on credits. Asking, searching, sorting, and saving lists is free and unlimited on every plan including the trial. Opening the photographs to answer a question about them is also free. Service areas are unlimited, as many and as large as you like. Credits are only spent when you ask Roofbird to do work: reading ground nobody has read yet at 1 credit per 150 roofs, looking at the photographs from above and from the road at 1 credit per 20 roofs, property data in bulk before you open anything at 1 credit per 4 roofs, and opening a house completely at 1 credit.
Opening a house completely means the roof read in full with the imagery date, the street address, the owner's name and mailing address, whether they live there, DNC-flagged phone numbers, an email where one exists, and the whole property record. A lookup that finds no contact never costs a credit. Nothing is gated by plan. The only difference between the tiers is how many doors a month you can open.
The free trial is 10 credits, no credit card, no expiry. Hunter is $199 a month for 350 credits, with top-ups at $25 for 37. Hunter Pro is $499 a month for 1,000 credits, with top-ups at $25 for 50. Never per lead.
