# CurbSight FAQ

## What is CurbSight?
CurbSight is a property intelligence platform for home services contractors. It scores every residential property in your service area using public records, NOAA federal storm data, and satellite imagery, then ranks them so you know exactly which doors to knock on. CurbSight is built for roofing, windows, siding, solar, HVAC, and exterior trades.

## How is CurbSight different from HomeAdvisor or Angi?
HomeAdvisor and Angi sell you shared leads — the same homeowner is sold to four contractors at once and you compete to call them first. CurbSight is the opposite: every property in your dashboard is yours alone, with no competition and no per-lead fee. You prospect proactively instead of reacting to a marketplace.

## How is CurbSight different from Sales Rabbit or other door-knocking apps?
Sales Rabbit shows you every house and lets you mark them as you knock. CurbSight shows you only the houses most likely to need work, ranked by a composite score. The difference is signal vs. noise — your reps spend their day on the highest-probability doors instead of grinding through random streets.

## How is CurbSight different from AccuLynx or JobNimbus?
AccuLynx and JobNimbus are CRM and project management tools. They help you manage jobs you already have. CurbSight finds the jobs in the first place, AND includes a built-in project management module (kanban board, job tracking, photo uploads) so you don't need a separate CRM until your operation grows past the basics.

## What data sources does CurbSight use?
Three categories: (1) county GIS APIs for parcel data — year built, square footage, exterior material, condition, owner name, assessed value; (2) NOAA Storm Events Database for hail, wind, and tornado history; (3) Google Maps Static and Street View Static APIs for satellite and street-level imagery. All public, all legitimate, no scraping.

## What does the scoring algorithm use?
A composite of four signals: roof age (estimated from year built and visible condition), hail exposure (from NOAA storm data within a defined radius and time window), financial confidence (from assessed property value), and owner occupancy (inferred from the parcel mailing address). See [scoring.md](./scoring.md) for the full breakdown.

## What areas does CurbSight cover?
Currently: Oklahoma (Tulsa County, Wagoner County, Kay County, with more counties added monthly). Coming next: Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska — the hail-prone Central Plains. National coverage is targeted for end of 2026. If your county is not yet supported, request a sample territory and we will add it.

## How long does it take to build a new territory?
A new zip code typically takes under 5 minutes to build once the county GIS endpoint is configured. If we are adding a new county, allow 1–3 days to integrate the data source.

## Does CurbSight include phone numbers?
Phone numbers are included on Pro and Enterprise plans via skip trace integration. Starter plans include owner names and addresses but not phone numbers.

## Can I export the data?
Yes. CSV export is included on every plan. You own the data in your dashboard and can export it at any time.

## What about privacy and compliance?
All property data CurbSight uses is public record. Owner names and assessed values are published by county assessors and accessible to anyone. Phone numbers (Pro/Enterprise) are sourced from compliant skip trace providers. CurbSight does not use credit data, financial accounts, or self-reported homeowner data.

## How much does CurbSight cost?
Starter is $500/month, Pro is $1,500/month, Enterprise is $5,000/month. Flat fee, no per-lead charges, month-to-month. See [pricing.md](./pricing.md) for the full breakdown.

## Is there a free trial?
We do a free sample territory build instead of a generic free trial. We load your zip code into the pipeline, score the properties, and walk you through the dashboard on a 30-minute call. If it is not a fit, you keep the snapshot for your records and there is no charge.

## Can multiple users share an account?
Yes. All plans include unlimited users. Pro and Enterprise add per-user data isolation so reps only see their assigned territories.

## Does CurbSight integrate with my existing CRM?
Enterprise plans include API access. Pro and Starter customers typically use CSV export to push leads into their CRM weekly. Direct integrations with major CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho) are on the roadmap.

## What about AI features?
CurbSight is currently shipping AI vision (roof damage detection from satellite imagery) and an AI-assisted territory builder. AI cold calling integration (Bland.ai / Vapi.ai) is in development. Enterprise customers get access to AI features as they ship.

## Who built CurbSight?
CurbSight was founded in 2026 by Sol, who was a brand ambassador at Renewal by Andersen in Oklahoma before starting the company. The first customer is Sacred Ground Properties, a roofing company in NE Oklahoma.
