Know Where to Knock Before You Leave the Shop
Most lead services sell you whoever filled out a form—they don't know your territory. Roofbird starts by letting you search any Waco neighborhood, ZIP code, or street. It reads the rooftops in view and ranks each block by housing era, roof wear, hail history, and walkability. A block of 1970s ranch homes in Lake Air with recent hail hits will rank higher than scattered acreage in China Spring where doors are 200 yards apart.
Roofbird has already scanned thousands of Texas homes, including areas near Waco. See examples of what the AI finds in Parker and Randall counties. The same technology works for your city.
- Search any Waco address or ZIP (e.g., 76706, 76712).
- See which blocks have weathered roofs and recent hail.
- Avoid low-value canvassing areas before you drive there.
Two Scores: Need vs. Now
Every lead gets two separate scores. The NEED score is based on roof condition and estimated age—how badly does this roof need replacement? The NOW score measures active triggers: visible damage (missing shingles, tarps, exposed decking), recent hail hits on that specific roof, a recent home purchase, or neighbors who have already re-roofed. Most Waco homes hit by the April 2026 hail will show a high NEED but only some will have a high NOW. Roofbird makes that distinction clear so you prioritize doors that are ready to decide.
Neighborhood hail does not inflate the NOW score. Every home in the same storm shares that data point, so it would not separate one door from the next. Instead, Roofbird shows a countdown of how long the homeowner likely has to file an insurance claim, based on Texas's typical notice deadlines. Always verify with the carrier, but the countdown gives you a real reason to knock today.
Every Roof Read from Two Angles
Roofbird combines a top-down satellite view with ground-level Street View imagery. The overhead tile catches roof shape, size, and overall wear. The Street View read finds side-visible damage: granule loss, algae streaking, curling shingles, patched sections, rusted flashing. It also compares the roof against its neighbors—if the houses on either side have been re-roofed and this one hasn't, that's flagged as social proof.
Each lead shows the roof material, condition, estimated roof age (from the shingles, not the building year), wear signs, both images, estimated squares and job value range, and a ready-to-use door pitch. The AI writes a plain-English verdict explaining why the score is what it is.
Homeowner Contact Details, DNC-Scrubbed
Opening a house costs 1 credit and gives you the full property record: owner name, occupancy status, estimated market value, year built, last sale date, beds/baths, square footage, lot size, equity estimate, and mortgage lender, plus the street address, phones and email. Every number is checked against the federal Do Not Call registry and labeled: "clear" for safe manual calls, "DNC" for don't call, "verify" for unknown. A failed lookup is refunded; a nobody-listed answer is charged.
Equity matters in Waco, where home values have risen sharply. Roofbird estimates how much of the home the owner actually owns, because equity is what determines whether a homeowner can say yes to a major expense. When the deed record can't support an estimate, Roofbird says so instead of guessing.
Work Leads Like a CRM, Not a PDF
View leads as cards or a side-by-side table with sticky headers, frozen actions, zoomable imagery, and one-click opening of a house. Filter on everything Roofbird knows: owner-occupied vs. absentee, active trigger, active damage visible, insurance claim window still open, minimum need score, minimum roof age, minimum equity, and contact state (e.g., "callable" meaning at least one number off the DNC list). Add your own tags. Export or print door-hanger PDFs for your route.
Low-quality roofs are dropped before they reach your list, so your credits go to leads worth working, not to everything the scan looked at. And if you re-scan an area, only genuinely new homes appear: Roofbird never re-assesses a building it has already scored.
