What roofing contractors use HomeIsSecure for
Start with home age
Year built, when the county has it on file, hints at how many roofs a house has already worn. Pair it with sale dates to find owners who may be facing a replacement decision soon.
Recent buyers and inspection reports
New owners often move in with an inspection report that flags worn shingles, loose flashing or soft decking. A timely, low-pressure offer to take a closer look can be welcome.
Storm work done responsibly
After hail or high wind, map the affected streets and plan respectful outreach. Follow local solicitation and permit rules and consent, do-not-call and telemarketing laws, and never pressure a shaken homeowner.
Build inspection lists that make sense
A roof inspection is an easy yes for many homeowners, and it is where plenty of repair and replacement work begins. HomeIsSecure helps you decide which houses to approach by combining year built, property type, ownership and sale history where county records include them.
Filter by year built
Houses built long ago may carry an aging roof or layers of old shingles. Year built is only a clue, so treat it as a reason to inspect rather than a diagnosis.
Focus on owner-occupied homes
Owners who live in the house see the ceiling stains and feel the drafts. Focusing on owner-occupied homes keeps your inspection offer in front of the people who notice problems.
Sort by property type
Separate detached houses from townhomes and condos, where an association may control the roof. That keeps your list from filling up with owners who cannot approve the work.
Stack for sharper targets
Stack a home-age list with a recent-sale list and you get newer owners in older houses, a group that often has fresh inspection findings they want addressed.
Storm response without the storm chasing
Severe weather brings out the worst in some operators, and homeowners remember who treated them fairly. HomeIsSecure lets you map the streets you believe were hit and build a list there, but how you show up matters more than how fast. Patience and plain honesty build a reputation that lasts well beyond cleanup.
- Know the local rulesMany cities and counties require solicitation permits or limit canvassing hours after disasters, and rules differ by state and city. Check them before your crew hits the sidewalk, and keep calls within consent, do-not-call and telemarketing rules.
- Consent before calls and textsSkip-traced numbers are not permission. Before anyone on your team calls or texts, verify consent, scrub the list for do-not-call entries and respect telemarketing limits, even when a neighborhood clearly needs help.
- Never pressure homeownersDo not rush people into signing, frighten them about hidden damage or push them to hand over claim rights. Leave information, offer an inspection and let them decide in their own time.
- The claim belongs to themHomeIsSecure is not an insurer. Rules on how contractors may discuss or assist with insurance claims vary by state, so document roof conditions accurately and let homeowners work with their carrier.
Plan inspection routes and responsible storm response with HomeIsSecure, starting with your own service area.
Join UsKeep crews busy between storms
Storms are unpredictable, and a roofing business built only on them rides a rough cycle. Steady inspection and repair work fills the gaps. Use HomeIsSecure lists to plan flashing and ventilation repair offers, gutter-line checks and seasonal inspection pushes for the quieter months.
Before and after winter
Offer pre-winter and post-winter inspections to owners of older homes. Small fixes to flashing, vents and sealant are easier for homeowners to approve than a full tear-off, and they build trust.
Route your estimators
Group inspection appointments by neighborhood and plan routes, so an estimator can see several roofs in a morning instead of zigzagging across the county.
Mailers and careful follow-up
Mail a short inspection offer, then follow up only through channels you are allowed to use. Consent, do-not-call and telemarketing rules apply to every call and text your office makes.
Keep safety and permits in the plan
Roof work is dangerous, and homeowners should never be encouraged to climb up and look for themselves. Licensing, permit and code requirements for roofing differ by state and city, and some places set their own rules on tear-offs, underlayment and final inspections. Your lists help you plan, but local rules decide how the job gets done.
Licensed crews on the roof
Make it clear that inspections and repairs are handled by your licensed, insured crew, and discourage homeowners from walking the roof to check storm damage themselves.
Check permits before quoting
Replacements often need a permit, and requirements vary widely. Look up the property, then confirm local permit and code rules before you commit to a scope or a timeline.
Document honestly
Photos and clear notes protect you and the homeowner alike. Describe what you actually saw on the roof, and never overstate damage to win a contract.
Why roofing contractors pick HomeIsSecure
Built around how your trade finds and serves homeowners, with the rules kept in view.
Made for roofing work
HomeIsSecure centers on homes and the people who own them, which suits roofers who sell inspections, repairs and replacements house by house.
Storm tools with limits
Map an area after severe weather and build a list, with a clear expectation that members follow solicitation, consent, do-not-call and telemarketing rules.
Honest about records
Property details depend on what each county records and releases, so some fields will be missing in some places. We would rather say so upfront.
Lists that refresh
Automated updates add new sales and changed records to saved lists, so a spring inspection campaign does not rely on data gathered months ago.
Your company, your approach
You pick the neighborhoods, the message and the pace. HomeIsSecure provides data and tools and leaves the selling, and the roofing, to you.
Asked by roofing contractors
Something else on your mind? Call or write, and a person on our team will answer.
No. HomeIsSecure provides property and owner records, mapping and list tools, not weather reports or damage assessments. After a storm, you can outline the area you believe was affected and build a list there, but only an on-site inspection by your crew can confirm whether a particular roof was damaged.
Door knocking is allowed in many places, but plenty of cities and counties require a solicitation permit, limit hours or restrict it in certain areas. Check local rules before you go, respect no-soliciting signs and skip high-pressure tactics, especially after a storm. Any follow-up calls or texts must follow consent, do-not-call and telemarketing rules.
No. HomeIsSecure never performs roofing work, dispatches crews or schedules appointments. It isn't a contractor, an insurance carrier or a home warranty provider, and it sells no security systems despite the name. What it offers is data, mapping and list tools, with no promise about any job, lead or result.
People who just bought a home often have an inspection report in hand, and roof notes are common in those reports. A courteous mailer offering an inspection or repair estimate gives them a local option. Keep the tone helpful, never imply the roof is failing without seeing it, and follow consent, do-not-call and telemarketing rules for any calls.
