Satellite Imagery for Roofing Leads

A roofing company was door-knocking blind. We trained a model to analyze satellite images and identify roofs showing signs of wear, so their sales team could focus on homes that actually need work.

The problem

The company had 8 canvassers knocking on 200+ doors a day with a 2% close rate — 98 out of 100 conversations went nowhere. After storms they'd blanket entire areas hoping to find damage. Sales reps were burning out, and the cost to acquire each customer was too high.

What we built

We trained a model on thousands of labeled satellite images to spot signs of roof distress: missing shingles, discoloration, sagging, moss growth, and storm damage. It scores every rooftop in a target area and generates ranked lead lists. Sales reps now only visit homes with a high probability of needing work.

What changed

Close rate went from 2% to over 8%. The team cut canvassing time by 65% while closing more deals. After storms, they can identify affected properties in hours instead of weeks of driving around.
