Roofing Leads from New Building Permits
Roofing is a high-ticket, high-competition game. Waiting for a homeowner to search Google for 'roofers near me' puts you in a race to the bottom on price. By tracking building permits for re-roofs, tear-offs, and major additions, you can bypass the search engine entirely. You get the address, the scope, and the valuation—everything you need to drop a targeted mailer or make a perfectly timed call.
The Signals That Matter
Not every permit is a goldmine. We extract the critical descriptions and project valuations that indicate real money is being spent on your trade.
Full Tear-Offs & Re-Roofs
Permits explicitly filed for removing the old roof and installing new materials.
Major Additions
When they add square footage, they need a roof. We flag major home expansions.
Commercial Roofing
Flat roof replacements and commercial building upgrades.
A Permit Means Real Money is Being Spent
A homeowner asking for a roofing quote online might just be curious. A homeowner who has filed a re-roofing permit with the city is doing the job. Period. Getting there first means you get to set the standard for the project before other roofers start aggressively underbidding.
How We Detect Them
Our system parses the daily permit feed for keywords like "reroof", "tear-off", "shingle", and "TPO". We also score major structural additions highly, knowing that a new roof is a mandatory part of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are these leads exclusive?
Building permits are public record, so they aren't "exclusive" in the traditional sense. However, only a fraction of contractors know how to properly mine this data daily. You are competing with far fewer people than on a standard lead gen site.
Q. Does the data include the roof size?
When provided in the permit description or valuation, yes. You can usually gauge the job size based on the estimated project cost and the specific wording of the filing.
Q. Can I use this for commercial roofing?
Absolutely. We track commercial property permits alongside residential, making it easy to spot massive flat-roof projects.
