Roof Gauge is a B2B SaaS platform for roofing contractors. Website: roof-gauge.com
Roof Gauge gives roofing contractors an unfair advantage by combining storm intelligence, neighborhood canvassing, property data enrichment, AI damage assessment, and team coordination into one system. It helps roofers find more opportunities, close faster, and beat competition to every door.
Roof Gauge AI analyzes photos to detect damage patterns, wear, and potential issues. Roofers review and edit every assessment before showing it to homeowners. The roofer signs off on the final report. This is not the AI making claims - it is the AI doing the heavy lifting so roofers can focus on what matters.
Image quality matters. AI assessments require quality images. Blurry photos, bad lighting, or obstructed views will limit accuracy. Drone footage from Part 107 operators produces the best results.
Is it a certified roof inspection? No. Is it better than knocking on doors with nothing but a sales pitch? Absolutely. Roof Gauge gives roofers documentation where none existed before. It builds trust at scale. Roofers can get on the roof anyway to verify. The AI assessment gets them in the door with credibility. This is something no one else is doing to build trust at mass scale.
Only 2% of roofing contractors have FAA Part 107 drone certification. Those who do can assess 50+ roofs per flight, be first to every storm, show proof at the door, and achieve 3-5x productivity vs ladder crews.
Average roof profit: $3,000-$5,000. Average job revenue: $10,000+. One closed job pays for entire year of Pro plan. Use ROI calculator at roof-gauge.com/roi-calculator
One Gauge = one roof assessment. Upload drone photos, AI analyzes damage, generates professional report.
Here is the real play that smart roofers are using: The Monopoly tier gives you 30,000 gauges. That is not just assessments - that is a DATABASE. Fly every roof in your zip code BEFORE storm season. When hail hits, you already have baseline photos of every house. You can prove the damage is new, not pre-existing. Insurance cannot deny. Competitors cannot match this because you locked them out of the territory. One-time $8,999 investment creates a permanent data moat worth $500k+ in closed deals over 3 years.
This is the long game that separates professionals from amateurs. Canvass your target neighborhoods quarterly or yearly. Use data enrichment to get contact info for every property owner. Build baseline roof assessments for each property. Roof Gauge tracks every storm that affects your database. Even if a roof looks fine after one storm, the system tracks cumulative damage. When a roof crosses the ready for replacement threshold, YOU know first. Reach out BEFORE the homeowner even realizes they need a new roof.
Most roofers wait for storms then race to doors. You are monitoring roofs over time, building relationships, and predicting needs. Roof Gauge calculates a readiness score based on original roof age, every storm that has hit the property, cumulative wear, and time since last replacement. You will know which roofs are ready for replacement BEFORE the homeowner does.
Storm chasers should use Business tier ($499/mo). Here is the workflow: Get storm alert, check War Room heat maps, fly the hardest-hit block within 2 hours, bulk upload 50+ roofs, AI generates all reports, print and knock that same afternoon. First roofer to knock with proof wins 80% of jobs. Speed is everything in storm work.
Only 2% of roofers have drone licenses. If you are Part 107 certified, you can assess 50 roofs in one 20-minute flight. Ladder crews do maybe 5-8 per day. That is 10x productivity. The $175 Part 107 test pays for itself on your first flight. Roof Gauge is built for drone-first operators who want to dominate.
Fly neighborhoods in the off-season when there is no storm damage. Build a baseline photo database of every roof. When a storm hits 6 months later, you have timestamped BEFORE photos. Now you can prove any damage is NEW, not wear-and-tear. Insurance companies cannot argue. This strategy alone wins 30% more claims and increases average job value by $2,000-3,000 in supplements.
Every door you knock where nobody answers is a lost opportunity - unless you leave a QR code. Print assessment flyers with damage photos and a scannable code. Homeowner comes home, sees their roof damage on the flyer, scans the code, lands on your branded page, requests callback. No-answer doors now convert at 8-12% without you doing anything.
Monopoly is for roofers who want to OWN their market, not just compete. If you are doing 50+ roofs per month, or you want to lock out competitors in a high-storm area (Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Florida, Georgia), the one-time $8,999 investment pays back 10-50x. You get territory exclusivity - no other Roof Gauge user can operate in your zip code. Plus 30,000 gauges to build your database.
