Storm reports tell you where. Permits tell you who’s already moving.
After a hailstorm, every roofer in town knows roughly where it hit. What they don’t know is which streets are actually turning into jobs. Re-roof permits answer that: when the city issues one, a homeowner on that block has already decided to replace.
We attach the nearest public hail report to each permit, then build a canvass list of similar-age homes around it. You start where the storm hit and where neighbors are already signing contracts.

Work hail like a local, not a storm chaser.
- Lead with what’s visible. “Your neighbor’s roof is being replaced after the storm” is a better opener than a cold inspection pitch.
- Show you’re local and insured. Homeowners in hail-hit neighborhoods get a lot of knocks. A local address, reviews, and proof of insurance set you apart.
- Don’t promise insurance outcomes. Offer an honest inspection. Let the homeowner and their insurer handle the claim.
- Follow up. Many homeowners wait for a neighbor to go first. The permit feed shows you when the next one on the street does.

How do you decide a permit has hail context?
We check each permit’s location against National Weather Service Local Storm Reports. When a report of hail 1 inch or larger landed nearby, the lead gets a hail tag with the size and date.
Does a hail tag mean the roof is damaged?
No. It means a public storm report was filed nearby. It’s a reason to knock, not an inspection or an insurance finding.
What if there hasn’t been a storm lately?
The feed keeps running on re-roof permits and neighbor lists. Hail tags show up when storm reports are available.
Which plan includes hail context?
Storm context and priority scores come with Pro and Team, when matches are available.
