I built a permit and storm intelligence tool for roofing contractors got my first paying enterprise customer last week
Background: I used to work in roofing sales. After Hurricane Ian I watched contractors waste hours driving neighborhoods looking for old roofs or searching addresses one by one on county property appraiser websites trying to figure out which homes got hit and never filed a claim.
So I built RoofHound.
You draw a box on a map over any neighborhood. It pulls permit records directly from county databases and NWS storm data and color codes every roof by age on an interactive map. Old roofs + storm history + no permit filed afterward = your door knock list for the day. It also generates a PDF report per address that contractors can hand to homeowners at the door.
Roofing contractors waste hours driving
neighborhoods or searching addresses one by one
trying to find old roofs to target.
RoofHound fixes that. Draw a box on any
neighborhood and instantly see every roof color
coded by age, storm history, and permit records
on an interactive map.
Old roofs + storm hits + no permit filed = your
door knock list before you leave the driveway.
Free trial — no card needed.
