Where to Scan in Mobile: Let Roofbird Read the Neighborhoods First
Before you spend a single dollar, Roofbird tells you which Mobile neighborhoods are worth your time. Enter a ZIP code or draw a boundary around areas like Spring Hill, West Mobile, or Midtown, and Roofbird ranks every block by housing era, roof wear, hail history, and walkability. It counts homes from building footprints, not estimates, and flags scattered acreage that would kill your doors-per-hour.
For example, after the June 2025 wind event in Mobile County, Roofbird can highlight blocks where roofs show visible wear—without making you guess. It also knows which neighborhoods have seen recent re-roofing activity, because that social proof often drives faster decisions.

Two Scores: Needs a Roof vs. Will Decide Now
Most lead lists blend condition and urgency into one meaningless score. Roofbird separates them. The NEED score tells you how badly a roof is worn—based on shingle age, granule loss, algae, and curling. The NOW score tells you whether something is forcing the homeowner to act soon: visible damage, a recent hail event on that specific roof, a recent purchase, or neighbors who have already re-roofed.
In Mobile, where wind and hail are recurring, the NOW score is your edge. It doesn't inflate urgency just because a storm passed through the county—it looks at each roof individually. That's how you avoid knocking on doors that aren't ready to say yes.
Read Roofs from Two Angles: Satellite + Street View
Roofbird reads both the top-down satellite tile and a ground-level Street View of the façade. The Street View catches what a top-down can't: granule loss, patched sections, rusted flashing, and algae streaking. It also compares the roof to its neighbors—if the houses either side are new and this one isn't, that's flagged as a strong signal.
For Mobile's historic homes, this matters. A roof that looks fine from above may show wear from the street, and Roofbird captures both in one assessment. You get the material, estimated roof age, wear signs, both images, and an estimated square footage and job value range.
Homeowner Contacts, DNC-Scrubbed, Ready to Call
Every lead includes the homeowner's name, whether they live there or it's a rental, property value, equity estimate, and more. The phone and email are behind a one-click unlock, and every number is checked against the federal Do Not Call registry. 'Clear' means safe to call manually; 'DNC' means don't; 'verify' means unknown.
In Mobile, where many homes are owner-occupied, direct contact is the fastest path to a conversation. No shared marketplace can give you this—they sell the same lead to four other contractors.
Work the List Like a CRM, Not a PDF
Filter on anything Roofbird knows: owner-occupied vs. absentee, active damage visible, insurance claim window still open, minimum need score, minimum equity, or contact state. Tag leads, export data, or print door-hanger PDFs for your route.
