CurbSight is a property intelligence platform built for home services contractors — roofers, window companies, siding installers, solar companies, HVAC outfits, and exterior trades. It tells you which homes in your service area are most likely to need work, before the homeowner has called anyone. Most contractors find leads in one of three painful ways: paying $50–$200 per shared lead from HomeAdvisor or Angi, knocking on random doors with a Sales Rabbit-style canvassing app, or running expensive Facebook ads for low-intent traffic. CurbSight replaces all three with something fundamentally different — a scored, ranked, data-driven view of every property in your territory, owned entirely by you. ## How CurbSight Works CurbSight runs a custom data pipeline that pulls from three categories of source data: 1. **Public property records** — every county in the United States publishes parcel data (year built, square footage, exterior material, condition, owner name, assessed value). CurbSight queries county GIS APIs (ArcGIS REST endpoints) directly to ingest this data with zero scraping. 2. **NOAA federal storm data** — the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publishes a Storm Events Database with every recorded hail, wind, and tornado event in the United States. CurbSight cross-references this with every property in your territory to compute hail exposure scores. 3. **Satellite and Street View imagery** — Google Maps Static and Street View Static APIs give every property a visual signature. Roof condition, age, and visible damage become evaluable at a glance. These three layers are combined by a scoring engine that produces a single 0–100 score per property, ranked highest-first in your dashboard. Roofing-focused customers see roof age and hail exposure weighted heavily. Window-focused customers see year built and exterior condition weighted heavily. Solar-focused customers see roof orientation, square footage, and property value weighted heavily. ## Who CurbSight Is For CurbSight is built for contractors with a defined service area — typically a city, county, or set of zip codes — who want a sustainable, owned source of leads instead of renting access to a marketplace. The ideal customer profile: - Roofing companies in hail-prone regions (Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska) - Window and siding companies serving suburban and rural markets with older housing stock - Solar installers in markets with high property values and good roof orientation - HVAC companies targeting homes 15+ years old (peak system replacement age) - Multi-vertical exterior contractors who want to coordinate roofing, siding, gutters, and windows from a single property record CurbSight is not for: emergency service contractors who need same-day lead delivery (the platform is for proactive prospecting), national lead aggregators (we sell to operators, not resellers), or any contractor who is satisfied with HomeAdvisor. ## What Makes CurbSight Different **Owned data, not rented leads.** A HomeAdvisor lead is sold to four contractors simultaneously. A CurbSight property is yours — you decide who works it, when, and how many times. **Scored, not random.** A door-knocking app shows you every house. CurbSight shows you the houses most likely to need your services, in priority order. **Built-in project management.** Most lead-gen tools stop at "here's the lead." CurbSight includes a kanban board, job tracking, and crew scheduling so you can take a property from lead to invoice without leaving the platform. This is why CurbSight is replacing Jobber, AccuLynx, and JobNimbus for our customers. **Federal storm intelligence.** No other property intelligence platform in this price range cross-references every property with NOAA hail data. For roofing in particular, this is the difference between guessing and knowing. ## Origin CurbSight was founded in 2026 by Sol, who built the platform after working as a brand ambassador at Renewal by Andersen in Oklahoma and watching the same painful lead-gen patterns play out across every contractor he met. The first customer is Sacred Ground Properties, a roofing company serving NE Oklahoma. CurbSight is currently expanding county GIS coverage across Oklahoma, with neighboring states (Texas, Kansas, Missouri) coming next. National coverage is targeted for end of 2026. ## Get Started The fastest way to evaluate CurbSight is to request a free sample territory. We will build you a scored lead list for a zip code in your service area and walk you through the platform on a 30-minute call. No pitch deck, no contract. Visit [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io) or contact sol@curbsight.io. --- # CurbSight Pricing CurbSight is a flat monthly subscription. No per-lead fees, no shared leads, no hidden charges. You own every property in your dashboard. ## Plans ### Starter — $500/month Best for: solo operators and 2–3 person crews who want to validate the platform on a single market. Includes: - 3 territories (typically 3 zip codes or one mid-sized city) - Up to ~5,000 scored properties - Property intelligence dashboard with scoring - Street View and satellite imagery on every property - NOAA hail and storm data cross-referenced per property - Owner names and property details from public records - CSV export - Email support - Project management lite (kanban for jobs, basic tracking) ### Pro — $1,500/month Best for: established contractors with a 5–15 person crew running multiple territories.

Includes everything in Pro, plus: - Unlimited territories and properties - Multi-vertical scoring (roofing, windows, siding, solar, HVAC scored independently on the same property) - Admin dashboard for territory and crew oversight - API access (read scored properties into your existing CRM) - AI features as they ship (vision-based roof damage detection, AI cold calling integration) - White-glove onboarding and territory build - Dedicated success contact ### Platform License — $20,000–$100,000 For agencies, franchises, and lead-gen companies that want to white-label CurbSight or run it as part of a larger product. Pricing depends on territory size, branding requirements, and integration scope. Contact sol@curbsight.io. ## Why Flat Pricing Most lead-gen tools (HomeAdvisor, Angi, Networx) charge per lead, which means your costs scale linearly with your success — and the leads themselves are sold to multiple competitors. CurbSight charges a flat monthly rate because every property is yours alone. Closing more deals from your CurbSight territory does not raise your bill. ## Free Sample Territory Before committing, every prospective customer gets a free sample territory built for their service area. We will load your zip code into the pipeline, score the properties, and walk you through the dashboard on a 30-minute call. If the platform isn't a fit, you walk away with the territory snapshot for your records. Request a sample at [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io) or email sol@curbsight.io. ## Frequently Asked Pricing Questions **Is there a contract?** Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. No long-term commitment. **Are there setup fees?** No. The first territory is built for free as part of onboarding. **What if my territory has more than 5,000 properties on Starter?** Most rural and suburban zip codes are well under 5,000 properties.

Switching the scoring model is a single setting in your dashboard. **Do you charge for users?** No. All plans include unlimited users for your team. **What's included in onboarding?** A 30-minute walkthrough, a fully built first territory, and a configured scoring model for your vertical. --- # How CurbSight Property Scoring Works Every property in CurbSight gets a single 0–100 score that ranks it against every other property in your territory. The score is a weighted composite of four core signals: roof age, hail exposure, financial confidence, and owner occupancy. Each signal is computed from public records and federal data — no scraping, no proprietary lock-in. ## The Four Core Signals ### 1. Roof Age (0–35 points) Estimated from year built, with downward adjustment for visible roof condition in satellite imagery and recent permit activity (where county data is available). Properties with roofs estimated at 15+ years old score the highest. The score caps at 25 years to avoid penalizing already-replaced roofs on historic homes. Formula sketch: - Year built ≤ 2000 (roof likely 20+ years): +30 points base - Year built 2000–2010: +20 points base - Year built 2010–2018: +10 points base - Year built >2018: +0 points base - Visible new roof in satellite imagery: −15 points ### 2. Hail Exposure (0–30 points) Computed by joining the property's coordinates against the NOAA Storm Events Database, which records every hail event reported to the National Weather Service. Larger hail (1.5"+) and more recent events (within 24 months) score highest. Formula sketch: - 2.0"+ hail within 24 months: +30 points - 1.5"–2.0" hail within 24 months: +22 points - 1.0"–1.5" hail within 24 months: +14 points - Any hail 24–60 months ago: +6 points - No recent hail: +0 points ### 3. Financial Confidence (0–20 points) Based on assessed property value, lot size, and total acreage. Higher-value properties indicate the owner can pay for premium work and are more likely to use insurance for storm claims. Very low-value properties (under $50K) score lower because they tend to be rentals or distressed. Formula sketch: - $250K+ assessed value: +20 points - $150K–$250K: +14 points - $80K–$150K: +9 points - $50K–$80K: +4 points - Under $50K: +0 points ### 4. Owner Occupancy (0–15 points) Owner-occupied properties convert dramatically better than rentals because the owner makes the decision and pays for the work. CurbSight infers owner occupancy by comparing the mailing address on the parcel record against the property address (matching addresses = owner-occupied). Formula sketch: - Owner-occupied (addresses match): +15 points - Likely rental (addresses differ): +0 points - Unknown: +5 points (neutral) ## Vertical-Specific Weighting The four signals are weighted differently per vertical. The dashboard switches scoring models with a single setting. - **Roofing:** Heavy weight on hail exposure and roof age. A 1925 home with 2.5" hail in the last 18 months will be near the top of the list. - **Windows:** Heavy weight on year built (frame age) and financial confidence. Hail matters less. - **Siding:** Year built + exterior material + condition. Hail is moderate weight. - **Solar:** Financial confidence + roof orientation (south-facing) + property value. Hail is irrelevant; roof age is mildly negative (you don't want to install panels on a 20-year-old roof). - **HVAC:** Year built (15+ years = peak system replacement age) + financial confidence. Storm data is irrelevant. ## What CurbSight's Scoring Does NOT Use - **Credit data.** CurbSight does not pull credit scores or financial accounts. We use public assessed value as a proxy. - **MLS data.** Active listings are not in scope. CurbSight is for prospecting, not real estate. - **Self-reported homeowner data.** No surveys, no quiz funnels. Every signal comes from records or sensors. ## Score Bands - **85–100 — Hot.** Top-tier prospect. Recent storm event, aging roof, owner-occupied, solid financials. - **70–84 — Strong.** Worth knocking. Most signals positive but one weakness (e.g., older home but no recent hail). - **55–69 — Mid.** Worth a flyer or postcard, lower priority for door-knock time. - **40–54 — Cold.** Likely rental or recently updated home. Skip unless your team has time. - **0–39 — Skip.** New construction, no storm exposure, low value, or rental. ## Why Composite Scoring Matters Most lead-gen tools either give you raw data (a list of every house in a zip code) or a binary qualified/unqualified flag. CurbSight gives you a continuous score so you can stack-rank your day, hour by hour. Your highest-converting reps work the 85+ leads. Your trainees work the 70–84s. Your direct mail goes to the 55–69s. This is the core reason CurbSight customers see higher close rates than they did with raw lists or shared marketplace leads. ## Customizing the Scoring Model On Enterprise, you can adjust the weights and add custom signals (e.g., "boost properties within 5 miles of a recently-completed job"). Most customers run with the defaults for the first 90 days, then tune based on conversion data. To request a custom scoring model, contact sol@curbsight.io. --- # 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. ## How do I get started?

Every property in CurbSight is scored on roof age, hail exposure, financial confidence, and owner occupancy — so your reps spend their day on the houses most likely to need a re-roof, not random streets. ## Why Roofing Is the Killer Use Case Roofing is the vertical CurbSight was built around for one reason: federal data. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) publishes the Storm Events Database, which records every hail, wind, and tornado event in the United States with location, severity, and timestamp. CurbSight cross-references this dataset against every property in your territory to compute a hail exposure score per home. A roofing-focused score combines: 1. **Hail exposure** — was this house under 2.0"+ hail in the last 24 months? This alone is a high-conversion signal. 2. **Roof age** — estimated from year built, with downward adjustment for visible new roofs in satellite imagery. A 1955 home with no visible roof replacement is a high-priority lead. 3. **Owner occupancy** — owner-occupied homes convert dramatically better than rentals because the owner makes the decision and pays for the work. 4. **Financial confidence** — assessed property value as a proxy for the homeowner's ability to pay for premium work, and an indicator of insurance coverage for storm claims. Properties built before 2000 with 1.5"+ hail events in the last 5 years routinely score 85+ on CurbSight. These are the doors your top closers should be on this week. ## How Roofers Use CurbSight **Day 1 — Territory build.** Drop in your zip codes. CurbSight queries the county GIS API, joins NOAA storm data, and renders a scored lead list within minutes. A typical rural Oklahoma zip code returns 1,000–3,000 scored properties. A suburban metro zip can return 5,000–15,000. **Day 2 — Triage.** Sort by score, descending. Top 200 properties become this week's door-knock list. Each property card shows: address, owner name, year built, assessed value, last hail event with size and date, Street View image, satellite roof view. **Day 3 — Knock.** Reps work the top-scored leads first. Talking points are pre-loaded per property ("Hi, I'm with Sacred Ground Roofing. We've been in the neighborhood after the May 8th hail. Mind if I take a look at your roof?"). The dashboard is mobile-responsive so reps can pull up the property data in the truck. **Day 4+ — Convert.** Won leads move into the project management module. Kanban tracks the job from inspection → estimate → contract → install → invoice. No need for a separate CRM until you scale past 50 jobs. ## After a Major Hail Event The 72 hours after a hail event are the highest-conversion window in roofing. CurbSight is built for this: 1. NOAA publishes the storm event within 24–48 hours. 2. CurbSight ingests it and re-scores every property in the affected radius. 3. Your dashboard now shows a re-ranked list of homes within the hail footprint, prioritized by owner occupancy and value. 4. Your reps are knocking before the storm chasers from out of state arrive. ## Talking Points That Convert Because every property card includes the specific hail event data, your reps can lead with verifiable, hyperlocal context: - "Your neighborhood was under 2.5\" hail on May 8th — most insurance companies will cover a full re-roof for storm damage that size." - "Your home was built in 1962 — the original roof is way past its rated lifespan. Even if hail damage is borderline, you're likely due for replacement." - "We've already inspected three homes on this street. Mind if I take a quick look at yours?" This is fundamentally different from the generic "do you need a roof?" pitch that gets the door slammed. ## Why Not Just Use HomeAdvisor or Angi? A HomeAdvisor lead costs $50–$200 and is sold to four contractors at once. The homeowner has already filled out a form and is expecting calls — most of which never happen because the four contractors all assume someone else will call first. Even when you do close, your fully-loaded customer acquisition cost is usually 2–3x what it would be from owned prospecting. CurbSight Starter ($500/month) gives you 3 territories and ~5,000 scored properties. If even one closes per month at a $10,000 ticket, the ROI is 20:1. ## Why Not Just Use Sales Rabbit? Sales Rabbit is a great canvassing tool but it does not score. It shows you every house and lets you mark them as you go. CurbSight tells you which houses to skip entirely. For a 5-rep team, the time savings alone — not knocking on rentals, new-construction, or low-value properties — is the difference between 50 and 100 quality conversations per week. See [CurbSight vs Sales Rabbit](../compare/curbsight-vs-sales-rabbit.md) for the full comparison. ## Pricing for Roofing Companies - **Starter — $500/month:** 3 territories, ideal for solo and 2-person crews validating the platform on a single market. - **Pro — $1,500/month:** 10 territories, interactive map with hail overlays, route optimization, phone numbers, full PM module. The standard for roofing companies with 5–15 reps. - **Enterprise — $5,000/month:** Unlimited territories, multi-vertical scoring (add windows, siding, gutters), API access, AI vision for roof damage detection. Request a free sample territory built for your service area at [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io). --- # Lead Generation for Window Companies CurbSight is the property intelligence platform for window and door contractors who want a steady, owned source of high-intent leads — not shared HomeAdvisor leads or random door-knocking. CurbSight scores every home in your service area on year built, exterior condition, financial confidence, and owner occupancy, so your reps spend their day on the homes most likely to need new windows. ## Why Year Built Is the Single Strongest Window Signal A 1985 home with original aluminum-frame double-hung windows is a near-guaranteed window job — it's just a matter of when, and which contractor knocks first. CurbSight's windows scoring model weights year built and financial confidence heavily because the conversion math is straightforward: - Homes built **before 1990** with original windows are operating at 30–50% of modern energy efficiency. - Homes built **1990–2005** typically have first-generation vinyl windows that are now hitting end-of-life. - Homes built **after 2010** are unlikely candidates unless there is visible damage. A windows-focused score ranks all properties in your territory by these signals, so your reps don't waste time on new construction or rentals. ## How Window Companies Use CurbSight **Territory build.** Drop in your zip codes. CurbSight returns every property with year built, exterior material, condition rating from county records, owner name, and assessed value. **Score and triage.** Top 200 properties (year built ≤ 1995, owner-occupied, $150K+ assessed value) become the week's prospecting list. These are homes where the owner has the equity, motivation, and decision-making power to authorize a window job. **Knock with context.** Each property card shows a Street View image so your rep can confirm window style and condition before knocking. Talking points lead with verifiable details: - "Your home was built in 1978 — original double-hung windows from that era are leaking 35–45% of your conditioned air." - "Most homes on this street still have the original aluminum frames. We're doing a free energy audit for the block — mind if I take a look?" - "Property records show your home is around 2,400 square feet. We can typically replace a full home of that size in two days." ## What Sets CurbSight Apart for Window Sales **Exterior condition data.** County records often include an exterior condition rating (Excellent / Good / Average / Fair / Poor). CurbSight surfaces this on every property card, so your reps can prioritize homes already rated as needing work. **Owner occupancy filter.** Renters can't authorize window replacement. CurbSight infers owner occupancy from parcel mailing addresses and lets you filter to owner-occupied only — typically eliminating 20–35% of homes from your list. **Financial confidence scoring.** Window jobs run $8K–$30K. Homes with assessed value under $80K convert at a fraction of the rate of $150K+ homes. CurbSight scores property value as part of the composite, so your highest-value leads surface first. **Multi-vertical add-on.** On Enterprise, you can also see roofing, siding, and gutters scores for the same property. A 1975 home with bad windows often needs siding too — sell both jobs from one knock. ## Why Not HomeAdvisor for Windows? HomeAdvisor sells "homeowner is looking for new windows" leads for $40–$120 each, shared with three to four other window companies. The homeowner is already comparison-shopping by the time you call, and your close rate is structurally capped by the auction dynamic. CurbSight gives you a list of homes that *should* need windows based on objective property data, before the homeowner has called anyone. Your sales motion is consultative — you're educating, not bidding. ## Why Not Just Door-Knock Random Streets? Without scoring, your reps spend 60–70% of their day on homes that won't convert: rentals, recently-renovated homes, new construction, low-value properties. A scored list cuts the wasted knocks by half or more. For a 3-rep window team, that's roughly 100 additional qualified conversations per week at no additional labor cost. ## Pricing for Window Companies - **Starter — $500/month:** 3 territories, ~5,000 scored properties, full dashboard. Good for validating the platform on one market. - **Pro — $1,500/month:** 10 territories, interactive map, route optimization, phone numbers, project management. Standard for established window companies. - **Enterprise — $5,000/month:** Unlimited territories, multi-vertical scoring (windows + roofing + siding on the same property), API access. Request a free sample territory built for your service area at [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io). ## See Also - [CurbSight vs HomeAdvisor](../compare/curbsight-vs-homeadvisor.md) - [How Property Scoring Works](../scoring.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) --- # Lead Generation for Siding Companies CurbSight is the property intelligence platform for siding contractors who want a steady, owned source of high-intent leads — not shared marketplace leads or random door-to-door canvassing. CurbSight scores every home in your service area based on year built, exterior material, condition rating, and storm exposure, ranking the homes most likely to need new siding. ## The Siding Scoring Signals That Matter A siding-focused score weights the following inputs: 1. **Exterior material** — county records typically classify exterior as Brick, Wood, Vinyl, Stucco, Aluminum, Composite, etc. Wood and aluminum siding from the 1970s–1990s are top-priority replacement candidates. Vinyl from the 1990s is starting to hit end-of-life. 2. **Year built** — homes built before 2000 with original siding are aging out of expected lifespan. 3. **Condition rating** — many county assessors include a condition score (Excellent / Good / Average / Fair / Poor). Average-or-worse with old siding is a strong signal. 4. **Storm exposure** — recent hail events larger than 1.5" can damage vinyl, wood, and aluminum siding. CurbSight cross-references NOAA storm data per property. 5. **Owner occupancy and value** — siding is typically a $10K–$40K project, so owner-occupied homes with assessed value above $100K convert at much higher rates. ## How Siding Companies Use CurbSight **Territory build.** Drop in zip codes. CurbSight returns every property with year built, exterior material, condition, owner name, value, and recent storm exposure. **Score and stack-rank.** Filter to wood or aluminum siding, year built ≤ 2000, condition Average-or-worse, owner-occupied, value $100K+. The result is a tight, high-conversion prospecting list — typically 100–300 properties per zip code. **Knock with proof.** Each card includes Street View imagery so your rep can confirm siding type, color, and visible damage before the door opens. Talking points lead with specifics: - "Your home has the original wood siding from 1982 — most homes that age have already replaced it because of moisture and rot issues." - "We noticed your neighborhood was under 2.0\" hail back in April. Aluminum and vinyl siding both dent permanently from hail that size — your insurance might cover replacement." - "Property records show you have aluminum siding. We're doing a free inspection on the block — mind if I show you what we found at three other homes?" ## Storm-Driven Siding Sales Hail damage is not just a roofing story. Vinyl siding cracks under 1.5"+ hail. Aluminum siding dents permanently. CurbSight's hail overlay shows you the exact properties under each storm footprint, so after a major hail event you can canvass the affected blocks for both roof AND siding work. This is a major reason siding companies are increasingly running on the same platform as roofing companies — one knock, two estimates, two jobs. ## Multi-Vertical Stacking Siding contractors who also sell windows, gutters, or trim see significant revenue lift from CurbSight's multi-vertical scoring. The same 1985 wood-sided home that scores 88 for siding probably scores 75+ for windows and 80+ for gutters. Your rep walks away with three signed estimates instead of one. This kind of stacking is hard to do with a HomeAdvisor lead, where the homeowner asked for a single specific service. ## Why Not HomeAdvisor or Angi? Marketplace leads in siding cost $40–$100 each and are shared across three or four contractors. The homeowner is comparison-shopping; the close rate is structurally capped. CurbSight gives you a list of homes that *should* need siding before the homeowner has called anyone. ## Why Not Just Random Door-Knocking? Without scoring, your reps spend most of their day on the wrong homes: brick exteriors, recently re-sided homes, rentals, new construction. Scoring cuts the wasted knocks dramatically. For a 3-rep siding team, the time savings translate to 50–80 additional qualified conversations per week. ## Pricing for Siding Companies - **Starter — $500/month:** 3 territories, ~5,000 scored properties. - **Pro — $1,500/month:** 10 territories, interactive map with hail overlays, route optimization, phone numbers, project management. - **Enterprise — $5,000/month:** Unlimited territories, multi-vertical scoring (siding + roofing + windows + gutters on every property), API access.

CurbSight scores every home in your service area on the signals that actually predict solar conversion: roof orientation, roof age, square footage, property value, and owner occupancy. ## What Makes a Good Solar Lead The economics of residential solar are unforgiving. A great solar lead has: 1. **South-facing roof orientation** — maximum sun exposure means maximum panel output and ROI. 2. **Low roof age** — you don't want to install panels on a 20-year-old roof that needs replacement in three years. New roofs and recently-replaced roofs are ideal. 3. **High electricity consumption** — typically correlates with home square footage and family size. 4. **High property value** — owner-occupants of $250K+ homes are the dominant buyer profile. 5. **Owner-occupied** — renters cannot authorize a 25-year asset on the roof. CurbSight's solar scoring model weights these signals heavily and, critically, *down-ranks* homes with old roofs. This is the opposite of how the model treats roofing leads — and it's why having a vertical-specific scoring engine matters. ## How Solar Companies Use CurbSight **Territory build.** Drop in your zip codes. CurbSight pulls year built, square footage, owner occupancy, and assessed value for every property. **Roof analysis.** Satellite imagery on every property card lets your reps confirm roof orientation, shading from trees, and visible roof condition before knocking. On Enterprise, AI vision is rolling out to flag south-facing roofs automatically. **Score and prioritize.** Filter to: square footage 1,800+, year built 2005+ (newer roofs), owner-occupied, value $250K+. The result is a high-conversion list of homes where the math works. **Talking points that land:** - "Your roof is south-facing and only about 8 years old — you'd get the full 20+ years of panel life before any roof work is needed. That's an unusually clean install for this neighborhood." - "Property records show your home is around 3,200 square feet. Homes that size in this area are typically running $250–$400/month in electricity. We can usually cut that to under $50." - "Most of your neighbors have older roofs that we can't put panels on yet. You're in the right window." ## Why Not Solar Lead Aggregators? Solar lead aggregators (Modernize, EnergySage, etc.) sell leads for $80–$300 each, almost always shared with multiple installers. The homeowner has filled out a form, is being called by 3–5 companies, and is comparison-shopping by the second conversation. Close rates on shared solar leads are notoriously low. CurbSight gives you a list of homes that *should* be candidates based on objective property and roof characteristics, before the homeowner has filled out anything. Your sales motion is consultative — you're educating someone on an opportunity they hadn't considered, not bidding against three other installers. ## Why Not Facebook Ads? Facebook leads convert at 1–3% in solar because the ad targets intent, not fitness. A homeowner who clicked "save 50% on your electric bill" might rent, might have a north-facing roof, might have a 22-year-old roof, might live in a $90K home where the financing math doesn't work. CurbSight pre-filters all of that. ## Multi-Vertical Pairing: Solar + Roofing The most sophisticated CurbSight customers run solar AND roofing on the same platform. The use case: 1. A home scores 90 on the roofing model (old roof, recent hail) but 30 on solar (roof too old). 2. The contractor sells the re-roof first. 3. After the install, the same home now scores 85 on solar (new roof, ideal orientation). 4. Solar is sold to the same customer six months later, often with the homeowner already emotionally invested in the company. This kind of sequencing is impossible without integrated multi-vertical scoring. It is one of the most repeatable revenue patterns we see on the platform. ## Pricing for Solar Companies - **Starter — $500/month:** 3 territories, ~5,000 scored properties. - **Pro — $1,500/month:** 10 territories, interactive map, route optimization, phone numbers, project management. - **Enterprise — $5,000/month:** Unlimited territories, multi-vertical scoring (solar + roofing on the same property), API access, AI vision for roof orientation analysis as it ships.

CurbSight scores every home in your service area on year built, square footage, financial confidence, and owner occupancy, ranking the homes most likely to need a system replacement. ## The HVAC Replacement Window Residential HVAC systems have a typical service life of 15–20 years. After year 15, replacement probability rises sharply each year. CurbSight's HVAC scoring model targets this window directly: - **Year built 2005–2010** — original system is now 15–20 years old and at peak replacement age. Highest priority. - **Year built 1990–2005** — original system either already replaced (track via permit data where available) or operating well past expected life. - **Year built before 1990** — original system likely replaced once already; current system age is harder to estimate without permit data. - **Year built after 2015** — original system still has runway. Lower priority. Combined with square footage (larger homes need more capacity, drive higher ticket) and owner occupancy (renters don't authorize $8K–$15K replacements), this gives you a tight prospecting list. ## How HVAC Companies Use CurbSight **Territory build.** Drop in zip codes. CurbSight returns every property with year built, square footage, owner name, value, and exterior condition. **Score and stack-rank.** Filter to year built 2005–2010, owner-occupied, square footage 1,500+, value $150K+. The result is a list of homes statistically likely to need system replacement in the next 24 months. **Knock with context:** - "Property records show your home was built in 2008. The original HVAC systems from that era are right at peak replacement age — we're seeing about 60% of homes from 2007–2009 needing new units this year." - "Your home is around 2,400 square feet. Most homes that size from your build year had a 4-ton system installed — those are the ones starting to fail in summer 2026." - "We're doing free system age inspections on the block — takes about 10 minutes. If your unit is fine, we'll tell you, and you can call us in three years." ## Seasonal Strategy HVAC sales are seasonal. CurbSight enables a year-round prospecting strategy: - **Spring (March–May):** Pre-summer inspections. Catch failing systems before they fail in July. - **Summer (June–August):** Replacement season. Top-scored leads convert at the highest rates here. - **Fall (September–November):** Heating-side prospecting. Same scoring model, different talking points. - **Winter (December–February):** Furnace-driven sales. Lower volume but high ticket. Your reps work the same scored list with different scripts. ## Multi-Vertical Stacking: HVAC + Roofing Many HVAC contractors also sell roofing or are partnered with a roofing company. The same year-built data that flags HVAC replacement candidates also flags roofing replacement candidates. CurbSight's multi-vertical scoring lets you sell both from a single conversation, dramatically improving the per-knock ROI. ## Why Not HomeAdvisor or Networx for HVAC? Marketplace HVAC leads cost $30–$80 each and are shared with three to four contractors. The homeowner has typically already had a system fail and is calling around for emergency quotes — meaning you're competing on price, not value. Margins are thin. CurbSight gives you a list of homes likely to need *proactive* replacement before the system fails. Sales motion is consultative ("inspection now, decide later") instead of reactive ("emergency, lowest price wins"). Margins are dramatically better. ## Why Not Random Cold Calling? Cold calling without scoring means most of your dials hit homes with new systems, rentals, or homes that aren't HVAC candidates. Scoring filters out 60–80% of the wasted dials. For a 2-rep inside sales team, the productivity lift is significant. ## Pricing for HVAC Companies - **Starter — $500/month:** 3 territories, ~5,000 scored properties. - **Pro — $1,500/month:** 10 territories, interactive map, route optimization, phone numbers (critical for HVAC outbound), project management. - **Enterprise — $5,000/month:** Unlimited territories, multi-vertical scoring, API access.

CurbSight scores every home in your service area on year built, exterior material, condition, and owner occupancy, ranking the homes most likely to be due for a repaint. ## Why Property Data Predicts Paint Jobs Exterior paint has a typical service life of 5–10 years depending on material and climate. Wood siding repaints more frequently than vinyl-clad homes. Stucco, fiber cement, and brick all have different repaint cycles. CurbSight surfaces the data your reps need: 1. **Exterior material** — wood, fiber cement, stucco, and aluminum exteriors are repaint candidates. Brick and vinyl are typically not. 2. **Year built** — older homes are more likely to have repaintable materials and to be due for a fresh coat. 3. **Condition rating** — county assessors often include a condition score; Average-or-worse with a paintable exterior is a strong signal. 4. **Owner occupancy** — owner-occupied properties convert dramatically better than rentals. 5. **Property value** — exterior paint jobs run $4K–$15K. Higher-value homes convert at higher rates and at higher tickets. ## How Painters Use CurbSight **Territory build.** Drop in zip codes. CurbSight returns every property with year built, exterior material, condition, owner name, and value. **Score and triage.** Filter to wood/stucco/fiber cement exteriors, year built ≤ 2010, condition Average-or-worse, owner-occupied, value $150K+. The result is a tight prospecting list. **Knock with proof.** Each property card includes Street View imagery so your rep can see the actual current paint condition before knocking. Talking points lead with specifics: - "We noticed your trim and siding showing some weathering — most homes with that exterior need a repaint every 6–8 years." - "Property records show your home was built in 1995 with wood siding. That puts it right at the typical second-repaint window." - "We're doing free exterior assessments on the street — takes about 5 minutes. If you're not due, we'll tell you and you can call us in two years." ## Storm Damage as a Repaint Trigger Hail and wind damage often triggers exterior repaints, even when the underlying siding is technically intact. Cosmetic damage from 1.0"+ hail can prompt insurance-funded repaints in many cases. CurbSight's NOAA storm overlay shows you which homes were under recent storm events — useful both for direct prospecting and for partnering with roofing companies on co-canvassing. ## Pricing for Painting Companies - **Starter — $500/month:** 3 territories, ~5,000 scored properties. - **Pro — $1,500/month:** 10 territories, interactive map, route optimization, phone numbers, project management. - **Enterprise — $5,000/month:** Unlimited territories, multi-vertical scoring (painting + siding + gutters), API access.

CurbSight scores every home in your service area on year built, exterior condition, storm exposure, and owner occupancy. ## Why Gutters Are a CurbSight Sweet Spot Gutters fail predictably. Aluminum gutters from the 1980s and 1990s are at end of life. Sectional gutters across all eras leak at the seams. Storm damage — particularly hail and high wind — accelerates failure. CurbSight surfaces the property data and weather signals that predict gutter replacement: 1. **Year built** — homes built before 2005 are likely on their original gutters or first replacement set, both at end-of-life. 2. **Recent hail and wind exposure** — NOAA storm data flags properties that have taken weather damage. Gutters dent, sag, and pull away from fascia under hail and wind. 3. **Visible condition** — Street View imagery on every property card lets your rep confirm sagging gutters, missing sections, or staining before the door opens. 4. **Owner occupancy** — owner-occupied homes are the only realistic conversion target. 5. **Property value** — gutter projects run $1.5K–$6K; even modest-value homes can convert. ## How Gutter Contractors Use CurbSight **Territory build.** Drop in zip codes. CurbSight returns every property with year built, exterior condition, owner name, and recent storm exposure. **Score and stack-rank.** Filter to year built ≤ 2005, owner-occupied, recent hail or wind in last 24 months. Top properties become the week's prospecting list. **Knock with proof:** - "We noticed your block was under 1.5\" hail in April. Aluminum gutters take damage from hail that size — your insurance might cover full replacement." - "Your home was built in 1992 — most aluminum gutter sets from that era are well past lifespan. We can usually replace a full home in a single day." - "Your gutters look like the original sectional set — we replaced three on this street last month. Mind if I show you what we did?" ## Storm-Driven Gutter Sales The 30 days after a major hail or windstorm are the highest-conversion window in gutters. CurbSight's storm overlay re-ranks every property in the affected radius, so your team can canvass the impact zone with verifiable data: 1. NOAA publishes the storm event. 2. CurbSight ingests it and updates every property score. 3. Your dashboard shows a re-ranked list of homes within the storm footprint. 4. Your reps knock with specifics: storm date, hail size, neighborhood-level damage already documented. This is the same playbook roofing companies use, applied to gutters and other storm-exposed exterior systems. ## Multi-Vertical Pairing: Gutters + Roofing + Siding The most successful gutter contractors on CurbSight are exterior generalists who also sell roofing, siding, soffit, and fascia. The same property data that flags gutter candidates flags roofing and siding candidates. CurbSight's multi-vertical scoring lets you walk into a single conversation with three potential job offerings. ## Pricing for Gutter Contractors - **Starter — $500/month:** 3 territories, ~5,000 scored properties. - **Pro — $1,500/month:** 10 territories, interactive map with hail overlays, route optimization, phone numbers, project management. - **Enterprise — $5,000/month:** Unlimited territories, multi-vertical scoring (gutters + roofing + siding + windows), API access.

It is a unified view of every scored property in your territories, designed to take a contractor from "show me my territory" to "here's the door I'm about to knock on" in under five seconds. ## What's In the Dashboard ### Lead Explorer The primary view. A scored, ranked list of every property in your territories, sortable by score, year built, hail exposure, value, owner status, and recency. Each row shows: - Composite score (0–100, color-coded) - Property address and city - Owner name (from county records) - Year built - Square footage and value - Last hail event with size and date - Visual badges for storm exposure, owner-occupied status, and high-value flags ### Property Detail Cards Click any row to open the full property card: - **Street View image** (Google Static Street View) - **Satellite roof view** (Google Static Maps, top-down) - **Owner details** — name, mailing address, occupancy inference - **Property details** — year built, square footage, value, exterior material, condition rating - **Storm history** — every NOAA hail/wind/tornado event within the property radius, with date and severity - **Score breakdown** — how the composite score was computed (roof age + hail exposure + financial confidence + owner occupancy) - **Talking points** — auto-generated based on the property's specific data signals ### Overview Stats Top-of-dashboard rollup of your territory: - Total properties scored - Hot leads (score 85+) - Strong leads (score 70–84) - Recent storm events affecting your territory - Data freshness indicators ### Theme System Three built-in themes (dark, light, beige) so the dashboard works for daytime field use and evening office work alike. Setting persists per-user in browser storage. ## How the Dashboard Is Built The dashboard is a React 19 single-page application deployed on Vercel. All property data flows from a Supabase Postgres database with row-level security enabled per user. Authentication is via Supabase Auth (email + password with session persistence). Imagery is fetched on-demand from Google Maps Static and Street View Static APIs. The data pipeline that populates the dashboard runs as a separate Python service that queries county GIS REST APIs (ArcGIS) and the NOAA Storm Events Database, then upserts into Supabase. This means dashboard data is always live — there is no stale cache. ## Mobile Responsive The dashboard is built mobile-first. Field reps can pull up property data in the truck, on the doorstep, or between knocks. Touch-friendly card UI, large tap targets, fast image loading. ## CSV Export Every plan includes CSV export of the current scored list. Drop it into your CRM, send it to a printer for door-knock packets, or hand it to a virtual assistant for cold-calling. The data is yours. ## What's Coming - AI vision overlay on satellite imagery (roof damage detection) - Saved searches and alerts ("notify me when a new property scores 90+ in this zip") - Direct CRM integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho) - Voice notes per property (for field rep handoffs) ## See Also - [Storm and Hail Data](./storm-data.md) - [Territory Management](./territories.md) - [Project Management](./project-management.md) - [Interactive Map](./map.md) - [How Property Scoring Works](../scoring.md) --- # Storm and Hail Data CurbSight cross-references every property in your territory against the NOAA Storm Events Database — the official federal record of every hail, wind, and tornado event in the United States. This is the single biggest reason CurbSight outperforms generic lead-gen tools for storm-driven verticals (roofing, gutters, siding, painting). ## What Is the NOAA Storm Events Database? The Storm Events Database is published by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), a division of NOAA. It contains every storm event reported to the National Weather Service since 1950, including: - **Hail events** — date, time, location (lat/long), maximum hail size in inches - **Wind events** — date, time, location, max sustained wind in mph - **Tornado events** — date, time, path, EF rating, width and length The database is public, free, and updated continuously. Most contractors have never heard of it. CurbSight ingests it and joins it to every property. ## How CurbSight Uses Storm Data For every property in your territory, CurbSight computes: 1. **Most recent significant hail event** — date and size 2. **All hail events in the last 24 months** — counted and severity-weighted 3. **All hail events in the last 60 months** — for older damage that may still trigger insurance claims 4. **Wind exposure** — max sustained wind in the last 24 months 5. **Tornado history** — any tornado within a defined radius These are surfaced on the property card and contribute to the composite score. For roofing-focused scoring, hail exposure is one of the most heavily weighted signals. ## Why This Matters Without storm data, lead generation in storm-driven verticals is guesswork. Sales Rabbit, HomeAdvisor, AccuLynx, JobNimbus — none of them tie property records to NOAA data. They tell you which homes exist, not which homes were under 2.5" hail eight weeks ago. CurbSight is built around the insight that hail history is the single most actionable signal in roofing prospecting, and federal data is the most reliable source for that signal. ## The 72-Hour Hail Playbook After a major hail event, the highest-conversion contractors are on the affected blocks within 72 hours. CurbSight is built for this: 1. **NOAA publishes the event** — typically within 24–48 hours. 2. **CurbSight ingests it** — re-scoring every property in the affected radius. 3. **Your dashboard updates** — properties under the storm footprint surface to the top. 4. **Your reps knock** — with verifiable, hyperlocal context on the storm. This is the playbook that separates contractors who win storm season from contractors who watch out-of-state storm chasers eat their territory. ## Storm Map Overlay On Pro and Enterprise plans, the interactive map renders hail swath polygons over your territory. You can visually identify which streets and blocks were under the most severe parts of each storm — invaluable for canvassing planning and for explaining damage to homeowners. ## Data Coverage NOAA data covers all 50 US states with consistent quality from roughly 1996 onward. Storm reporting density is highest in the Central Plains, Southeast, and Midwest — exactly where hail-driven home services are most active. ## Limitations We're Honest About - NOAA records report storms based on observation networks; very localized hail can occasionally go under-reported. - Hail size is reported as max observed, not as a continuous footprint — CurbSight uses radius-based estimation to apply event severity to nearby properties. - Time resolution is by date; not all events have precise timestamps. We are continuously improving the storm data layer. SWDI API integration and supplementary data sources (radar-derived hail estimates, MESH data) are on the roadmap. ## See Also - [Property Intelligence Dashboard](./dashboard.md) - [Interactive Map](./map.md) - [How Property Scoring Works](../scoring.md) - [Lead Generation for Roofing Companies](../use-cases/roofing.md) --- # Territory Management A territory in CurbSight is a defined geographic area — typically one or more zip codes, a city, or a county — that you have built and maintained as your owned prospecting universe. The territory management system is how you organize, build, refresh, and assign territories across your team. ## Building a Territory Territory build is fast. You enter a zip code (or list of zip codes) and CurbSight: 1. Identifies the county and the relevant GIS endpoint. 2. Queries the county ArcGIS REST API for every parcel in the zip code. 3. Pulls year built, square footage, exterior material, condition, owner name, and assessed value for each. 4. Joins the parcels against the NOAA Storm Events Database for hail/wind/tornado history. 5. Computes the composite score per property. 6. Renders the scored list in your dashboard. For most US zip codes, this takes under 5 minutes end-to-end. New counties (where the GIS endpoint hasn't been integrated yet) take 1–3 days to add — request them and we will prioritize. ## Territory Refresh Property data and storm data both change. CurbSight refreshes territories on a configurable cadence: - **Property data:** Monthly refresh from county GIS (parcel data changes slowly — new construction, sales, value reassessments). - **Storm data:** Continuous — every NOAA storm event update re-scores affected properties within hours of publication. - **Imagery:** Refreshed on-demand when a property card is opened (Google Static APIs). You can manually trigger a full territory refresh from the dashboard at any time. ## Coverage Currently live (May 2026): Oklahoma counties — Tulsa, Wagoner, Kay, with more added monthly. Every county requires a one-time GIS endpoint integration. In progress: Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska — the hail-prone Central Plains region where roofing demand is strongest. Targeted by end of 2026: National coverage of all 50 states. Many states have unified statewide GIS endpoints which makes coverage faster. If your county is not yet supported, contact sol@curbsight.io. We will add it to the queue and notify you when it goes live. ## Territory Limits by Plan - **Starter — 3 territories.** Typically 3 zip codes or one mid-sized city. - **Pro — 10 territories.** A metro area or several counties. - **Enterprise — Unlimited.** Multi-state operations. A "territory" is a single defined geographic area. There is no hard property cap on a territory — a small rural zip might have 800 properties; a dense suburban zip might have 8,000. All count as one territory. ## Per-Rep Territory Assignment On Pro and Enterprise, you can assign territories to specific users on your team. Reps see only their assigned territories in the dashboard. This is critical for: - Multi-rep teams where each rep has a defined service area - Franchise operations with multiple locations - Lead-routing fairness (no two reps working the same block) Assignment is managed from the admin dashboard. ## Admin Dashboard The admin dashboard (Pro and Enterprise) gives the owner or manager a top-level view of: - All territories across the team - Properties scored, leads worked, conversion rates per territory - Data freshness per territory (last refresh date) - Per-rep activity and pipeline This is where operations leadership lives during the day. ## What's Coming - Self-service zip code ordering (drop in a zip → territory builds in real-time, no support ticket) - Territory waitlist and priority queuing for new counties - Bulk territory import for franchise operations - Cross-territory route planning ## See Also - [Property Intelligence Dashboard](./dashboard.md) - [Interactive Map](./map.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) - [How Property Scoring Works](../scoring.md) --- # Project Management CurbSight includes a full project management module — kanban board, job tracking, crew scheduling, photo uploads — built into the same platform that finds your leads. This is the core reason CurbSight is replacing Jobber, AccuLynx, and JobNimbus for our customers. ## Why Project Management Belongs in a Lead-Gen Platform Most contractors run two separate tools: a lead-gen tool (HomeAdvisor, Sales Rabbit) and a project management or CRM tool (Jobber, AccuLynx, JobNimbus). The two don't talk to each other. A won lead is manually re-entered into the project management tool, photos and notes are stored in two places, and visibility across the lifecycle is broken. CurbSight's bet: every job starts as a property in your dashboard. Why force you to copy it into a second tool the moment you win it? ## What's In the Project Management Module ### Kanban Board Drag-and-drop pipeline with configurable status columns. Default pipeline: - **Lead** — property surfaced from the scoring engine, not yet contacted - **Contacted** — outreach attempted (knock, call, email) - **Inspection Scheduled** — appointment set - **Inspection Complete** — visited the property, captured photos and notes - **Estimate Sent** — quote provided to the homeowner - **Contract Signed** — won the job - **In Production** — work scheduled or underway - **Complete** — work finished - **Invoiced** — billed - **Paid** — collected You can customize column names and add stages on Pro and Enterprise. ### Job Cards Every job in the kanban links back to its underlying property in the lead explorer. Each card carries: - Property address, owner, year built, value - Contact info (phone, email if available) - Scoring breakdown (so you remember *why* this property mattered) - Photo uploads (before, during, after) - Notes and activity log - Estimate and invoice attachments - Crew assignment and scheduled dates ### Crew Scheduling Assign jobs to specific crews and dates. Calendar view shows the week's load by crew. Drag jobs between days to rebalance. ### Photo Uploads Upload site photos directly to the job card from the field. Photos are stored in Supabase storage with timestamps. Useful for insurance documentation, before/after marketing, and crew handoffs. ### Activity Log Every interaction with a job (status change, note added, photo uploaded, estimate sent) is timestamped and logged. The activity log is the source of truth for "what happened on this job." ## How It Differs From Standalone PM Tools **Jobber** is a generic field-service PM tool. It works for landscapers, plumbers, cleaners, and contractors. It has no property intelligence layer — every job starts as a manually-entered customer. CurbSight is the opposite: every job starts as scored property data. **AccuLynx** is roofing-specific PM with strong insurance claim workflows. It has no lead-gen layer; you bring the leads from somewhere else. CurbSight bundles both. **JobNimbus** is exterior-trades PM with workflow automation. Same gap — you bring leads from elsewhere. CurbSight bundles both. For a roofing or exterior contractor doing 20–200 jobs/month, CurbSight + the built-in PM module typically replaces both AccuLynx and Jobber, eliminating ~$300–$500/month in tool stack. ## When You'd Still Want a Separate PM Tool CurbSight's PM is built for the core 80% workflow: track jobs from lead to paid, manage your crews, document with photos. If you need: - Heavy QuickBooks or Xero accounting integration - Advanced scheduling optimization (multi-crew, skill-based routing) - Subcontractor management - Customer-facing portal with self-service quote acceptance ...you may still want AccuLynx or JobNimbus as a complement. CurbSight Enterprise includes API access so you can sync jobs out to whatever PM you use. But most CurbSight customers in the 5–25 job/week range use the built-in PM and never look back. ## See Also - [CurbSight vs Jobber](../compare/curbsight-vs-jobber.md) - [CurbSight vs AccuLynx](../compare/curbsight-vs-acculynx.md) - [CurbSight vs JobNimbus](../compare/curbsight-vs-jobnimbus.md) - [Property Intelligence Dashboard](./dashboard.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) --- # Interactive Map The CurbSight interactive map is a Google Maps-powered visualization of your scored territory. Color-coded property pins, hail swath overlays, and route optimization between selected leads. This is the feature most often cited by Pro and Enterprise customers as the reason they upgraded. ## What's On the Map ### Color-Coded Property Pins Every property in your territory renders as a pin on the map, color-coded by composite score: - **Red** — score 85+ (hot leads) - **Orange** — score 70–84 (strong leads) - **Yellow** — score 55–69 (mid) - **Blue** — score 40–54 (cold) - **Gray** — score under 40 (skip) At a glance, you see which streets in your territory are loaded with high-score properties — and which are dead zones. This is invaluable for canvassing route planning. ### Click Pin → Property Card Click any pin to open the property card sidebar with the full detail (Street View, satellite, owner, year built, hail history, score breakdown, talking points). Same data as the lead explorer, in spatial context. ### Hail Swath Overlays Toggle on the storm overlay to render NOAA hail event polygons on the map. Each polygon is sized by hail diameter and date. You can immediately see: - Which streets and blocks were under the most severe parts of recent storms - How storm damage clusters (often follows specific corridors) - Where canvassing time will be best spent post-storm ### Route Optimization Select a list of properties (typically your top-scored 20–50) and the map computes the shortest driving route between them. Output is a turn-by-turn route you can hand to a rep or open directly in Google Maps for navigation. This single feature can save a 5-rep team multiple hours per week vs. canvassing in zip-code order or by street name. ### Territory Boundaries Toggle on to see the boundaries of your assigned territories. Useful for multi-rep operations to enforce who works which area. ## How the Map Is Built The map is built on the Google Maps JavaScript API with custom marker clustering for performance at scale (a 5,000-property territory renders smoothly). All property data flows from Supabase. Storm overlays are computed from NOAA polygon data. Route optimization uses the Google Directions API. The map is mobile-optimized — pinch-zoom, tap-to-open, drag-to-pan all work as expected on phones and tablets. ## Plan Availability - **Starter:** Map not included. Use the lead explorer for list-based prospecting. - **Pro:** Full map with property pins, hail overlays, and route optimization. - **Enterprise:** Everything in Pro, plus territory boundaries, per-user filtering on the map, and multi-vertical pin coloring (color by roofing score OR windows score OR siding score). ## What's Coming - Heatmap layer (density of high-score properties) - Confidence overlay (how certain the score is, based on data completeness) - Saved routes (build a canvassing route once, reuse weekly) - Crew GPS tracking and live position overlay - Drone footage integration on the map ## See Also - [Property Intelligence Dashboard](./dashboard.md) - [Storm and Hail Data](./storm-data.md) - [Territory Management](./territories.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) --- # CurbSight vs Jobber Jobber is a popular field-service management platform widely used by home services contractors for scheduling, invoicing, and customer management. CurbSight is a property intelligence platform that finds you the leads in the first place — and includes a built-in project management module that replaces most of what contractors use Jobber for. Here is the honest comparison. ## What Each Tool Is Built For **Jobber:** Generic field-service operations. Designed to be a CRM, scheduler, and invoicing tool for any home services category — landscapers, plumbers, cleaners, electricians, contractors. Strong on accounting integrations and customer-facing communications. **CurbSight:** Property intelligence and lead generation built specifically for roofing, windows, siding, solar, HVAC, and exterior trades — with project management built in to handle the full lifecycle from lead to invoice. ## Lead Generation | Capability | Jobber | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Property scoring | None | Composite 0–100 score per property | | Hail and storm data | None | NOAA Storm Events Database, per-property | | Public records integration | None | County GIS APIs, all 50 states (rolling out) | | Owner names from records | None | Yes, via county parcels | | Satellite imagery | None | Google Static Maps + Street View | | Door-knock territory builder | None | Yes, by zip code | Jobber starts after you have a customer. CurbSight starts before — finding you customers from public data. ## Project Management | Capability | Jobber | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Kanban board | Yes | Yes | | Job tracking | Yes | Yes | | Crew scheduling | Yes (strong) | Yes | | Photo uploads | Yes | Yes | | Estimates and invoices | Yes (strong) | Yes (basic) | | QuickBooks/Xero integration | Yes | API access on Enterprise | | Customer-facing portal | Yes | No | Jobber has more depth on the accounting and customer-portal side. CurbSight covers the core 80% workflow that most exterior contractors actually use day-to-day. ## When Jobber Is the Right Choice - You are a multi-vertical home services business (cleaning + landscaping + handyman) where property intelligence isn't relevant to most of your work. - You have heavy QuickBooks or Xero integration requirements. - You need a full customer-facing portal with quote acceptance and online booking. - You don't need lead generation — you have a steady inbound flow from referrals or marketing. ## When CurbSight Is the Right Choice - You are a roofing, siding, windows, solar, HVAC, or exterior contractor. - You spend money on shared marketplace leads (HomeAdvisor, Angi, Networx) and want to replace that channel. - You door-knock or canvass and want to know which doors to knock on. - You operate in a hail-prone region and want NOAA storm data integrated into your prospecting. - You want to consolidate lead-gen and basic PM into one tool to reduce stack cost. ## The Cost Comparison A typical mid-size roofing contractor stack: - Jobber Connect: $169/month (or higher tier) - HomeAdvisor / Angi spend: $1,000–$5,000/month in shared leads - Sales Rabbit or canvassing tool: $40–$80/user/month - **Total: ~$1,500–$5,500/month** Same contractor on CurbSight Pro: - CurbSight Pro: $1,500/month (includes scored leads, map, routes, PM) - **Total: $1,500/month** For most contractors, CurbSight Pro replaces Jobber + the lead-gen spend with a single line item, often at lower total cost. ## Migration Customers moving from Jobber to CurbSight typically: 1. Run both tools in parallel for the first 30 days. 2. Use CurbSight to source new leads while wrapping up active Jobber jobs. 3. Move new jobs into CurbSight's PM module as they close. 4. Cancel Jobber once the last active job invoices. Migration is straightforward — no data import needed because the two platforms answer different questions. ## Try CurbSight Request a free sample territory at [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io) and see how a scored property list compares to whatever you're using today. ## See Also - [CurbSight vs AccuLynx](./curbsight-vs-acculynx.md) - [CurbSight vs JobNimbus](./curbsight-vs-jobnimbus.md) - [Project Management Feature](../features/project-management.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) --- # CurbSight vs AccuLynx AccuLynx is the dominant project management and CRM platform for residential roofing contractors in North America, with strong workflows for insurance claims, supplements, and crew management. CurbSight is a property intelligence platform that finds you the leads in the first place — and includes a built-in project management module that handles the core lifecycle most roofers actually use. Here is the honest comparison. ## What Each Tool Is Built For **AccuLynx:** Roofing-specific project management with deep insurance claim and supplementing workflows. Built for established roofing contractors managing 50–500+ jobs with mature ops processes. **CurbSight:** Property intelligence for the front of the funnel — finding scored, owned leads from public records and federal storm data — with project management built in to handle leads from prospect to invoice. The two products solve different problems. Many CurbSight customers run both, especially at scale. ## Lead Generation | Capability | AccuLynx | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Property scoring | None | Composite 0–100 score per property | | NOAA hail data per property | None | Yes | | Public records integration | None | County GIS APIs | | Owner names from records | Limited | Yes, via county parcels | | Satellite imagery on every lead | Aerial measurement add-ons | Yes, included | | Door-knock territory builder | None | Yes, by zip code | | Storm response prospecting | None | Yes, NOAA-driven | AccuLynx assumes you already have leads. CurbSight produces them. ## Project Management | Capability | AccuLynx | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Roofing-specific kanban | Yes (strong) | Yes (configurable) | | Insurance claim workflows | Yes (strong) | Basic | | Supplementing | Yes (strong) | No | | Crew scheduling | Yes | Yes | | Photo uploads | Yes | Yes | | Aerial measurements | Add-on (EagleView, etc.) | Not built-in | | Customer-facing portal | Yes | No | AccuLynx wins on insurance-claim depth and supplementing — that is its core moat. CurbSight handles the standard PM workflow most roofers use day-to-day. ## When AccuLynx Is the Right Choice - You are a high-volume roofing operation (75+ jobs/month) with mature insurance claim and supplementing processes. - You need deep EagleView/CompanyCam-style integrations. - You have a dedicated supplementing team and need workflow tools for them. - You already have a steady lead flow from established marketing channels. ## When CurbSight Is the Right Choice - You are a roofing contractor whose biggest constraint is finding leads, not managing existing jobs. - You spend money on shared marketplace leads and want to replace that channel. - You operate in a hail-prone region and want federal storm data driving your prospecting. - You want one tool that covers lead-gen + the core PM workflow, instead of stacking AccuLynx + HomeAdvisor + Sales Rabbit. ## When You'd Run Both Some larger CurbSight customers continue to use AccuLynx for insurance claim management and supplementing while using CurbSight for lead generation, scoring, and door-knock prospecting. CurbSight Enterprise includes API access so jobs sourced in CurbSight can sync into AccuLynx as they close. This is a common pattern at the 100+ job/month scale. ## The Cost Comparison A typical 5-rep roofing contractor stack: - AccuLynx (varies by user count): $200–$500/month - HomeAdvisor / Angi spend: $1,000–$5,000/month - Sales Rabbit or similar canvassing tool: $200–$400/month - **Total: ~$1,400–$5,900/month** Same contractor on CurbSight Pro: - CurbSight Pro: $1,500/month (scored leads, map, routes, PM) - **Total: $1,500/month** For most mid-size roofers, CurbSight Pro replaces the lead-gen and canvassing spend entirely and either complements or replaces AccuLynx depending on insurance-claim complexity. ## The Storm Season Advantage The single biggest reason roofers move to CurbSight is hail season. AccuLynx has no NOAA integration. After a major hail event, AccuLynx tells you nothing about which properties were under the storm — you have to find that out yourself. CurbSight re-scores every property in the affected radius within hours of the NOAA event publishing, so your team is on the right blocks before the out-of-state storm chasers arrive. ## Try CurbSight Request a free sample territory built for your service area at [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io). We will load your zip code, score the properties, overlay recent NOAA storm data, and walk you through the dashboard on a 30-minute call. ## See Also - [CurbSight vs Jobber](./curbsight-vs-jobber.md) - [CurbSight vs JobNimbus](./curbsight-vs-jobnimbus.md) - [Lead Generation for Roofing Companies](../use-cases/roofing.md) - [Storm and Hail Data](../features/storm-data.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) --- # CurbSight vs Sales Rabbit Sales Rabbit is a popular field sales and door-knocking app used by canvassers across roofing, solar, pest control, and home services. CurbSight is a property intelligence platform that does what Sales Rabbit does — and more — by scoring every property *before* your reps walk the street. Here is the honest comparison. ## What Each Tool Is Built For **Sales Rabbit:** A door-to-door canvassing app. Reps mark houses as they knock — interested, not interested, follow-up, sold. Strong on rep tracking and gamification. The app shows you every house in an area; you decide which ones to knock on. **CurbSight:** A property intelligence platform that scores every house *before* your reps walk the street, so they only knock on the ones most likely to convert. Pulls public records, NOAA storm data, and satellite imagery to compute a 0–100 score per property. The fundamental difference: Sales Rabbit is a tracker. CurbSight is a targeter. ## Property Intelligence | Capability | Sales Rabbit | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Property scoring | None | Composite 0–100 score | | Year built per property | Limited (some states) | Yes, all integrated counties | | Owner names | Limited | Yes, via county parcels | | Property value | Limited | Yes | | Square footage | Limited | Yes | | Exterior material | None | Yes | | Hail and storm history | None | NOAA federal data per property | | Satellite imagery | None | Yes, on every card | | Street View imagery | None | Yes, on every card | Sales Rabbit shows reps a map with houses to knock on. CurbSight tells reps which houses are most likely to convert — and provides the data to back up the conversation. ## Canvassing Workflow | Capability | Sales Rabbit | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Mark houses as knocked | Yes (strong) | Yes (basic) | | Status tracking per house | Yes (strong) | Yes (basic) | | Rep gamification and leaderboards | Yes | No | | Route building | Manual | Auto-optimized between top-scored leads | | Integrated property data on the door | None | Full property card | Sales Rabbit wins on the in-app canvassing UX (status tracking, rep accountability, leaderboards). CurbSight wins on what's *behind* each house pin — actual property data your reps can use in the conversation. ## When Sales Rabbit Is the Right Choice - You have a large outside sales force and need rep-tracking, gamification, and leaderboard tooling. - You sell a category where property data doesn't predict conversion well (pest control, security systems). - You already have a separate lead source and just need a tool to manage the canvas. ## When CurbSight Is the Right Choice - You sell roofing, siding, windows, solar, HVAC, gutters, or painting — where property characteristics actually predict conversion. - You want your reps spending time on the right doors, not just *any* door. - You operate in a hail-prone area and want NOAA data driving your route. - You want owner names, year built, and property value to inform every conversation. ## When You'd Run Both Some sales-org-heavy roofing companies use CurbSight to *build the daily list* and Sales Rabbit to *manage the canvas itself*. CurbSight surfaces the top 200 properties for the day; reps drop them into Sales Rabbit and use its tracking UX in the field. This is a viable hybrid. Most CurbSight customers find that the basic in-app status tracking is enough to skip Sales Rabbit, but at large scale (15+ reps) the dedicated canvassing UX of Sales Rabbit can be worth it. ## The Conversation Difference A Sales Rabbit canvasser at the door: > "Hi, do you need a new roof?" A CurbSight-equipped canvasser at the same door: > "Hi, your home was built in 1962 and your block was under 2.5\" hail on May 8th. Most insurance companies cover full roof replacement for hail damage that size. Mind if I take a 5-minute look at your roof?" Same door, same rep, dramatically different conversion rate. This is what property intelligence buys you. ## The Cost Comparison A typical 5-rep roofing canvassing operation: - Sales Rabbit (per user): ~$45–$80/month per rep × 5 = $225–$400/month - HomeAdvisor / shared lead spend: $1,000–$3,000/month - **Total: ~$1,225–$3,400/month** Same operation on CurbSight Pro: - CurbSight Pro: $1,500/month (scored leads + map + routes + PM) - **Total: $1,500/month** For most mid-size canvassing operations, CurbSight Pro consolidates the spend. ## Try CurbSight Request a free sample territory at [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io). We will build you a scored lead list for one of your existing canvas zip codes — you can compare side by side against what Sales Rabbit shows you. ## See Also - [CurbSight vs HomeAdvisor](./curbsight-vs-homeadvisor.md) - [Lead Generation for Roofing Companies](../use-cases/roofing.md) - [How Property Scoring Works](../scoring.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) --- # CurbSight vs JobNimbus JobNimbus is a popular CRM and project management platform for roofing, exterior, and home services contractors. CurbSight is a property intelligence platform that finds you the leads in the first place — and includes a built-in PM module that handles the core lifecycle most contractors actually use. Here is the honest comparison. ## What Each Tool Is Built For **JobNimbus:** A roofing and exterior CRM with strong workflow automation, customer communication tools, and integrations with EagleView, CompanyCam, QuickBooks, and email. Built to be the single system of record for jobs already in your pipeline. **CurbSight:** A property intelligence platform for the front of the funnel — finding scored, owned leads from public records and federal storm data — with project management built in to handle leads from prospect to invoice. The two solve different problems and overlap on the PM layer. ## Lead Generation | Capability | JobNimbus | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Property scoring | None | Composite 0–100 score per property | | NOAA hail and storm data | None | Yes, per property | | Public records integration | None | County GIS APIs | | Owner names | Imported manually or from leads | Yes, from county parcels | | Satellite imagery on every lead | Add-on integrations | Yes, included | | Door-knock territory builder | None | Yes, by zip code | JobNimbus assumes your leads come from somewhere else — paid lead vendors, referrals, marketing. CurbSight produces them from public data. ## Project Management | Capability | JobNimbus | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Kanban board | Yes (strong) | Yes (configurable) | | Workflow automation | Yes (strong) | Basic | | Email and SMS comms | Yes | Roadmap | | Estimates and invoices | Yes | Yes (basic) | | QuickBooks integration | Yes | API access on Enterprise | | Photo uploads | Yes | Yes | | Crew scheduling | Yes | Yes | | Customer portal | Yes | No | JobNimbus is more mature on workflow automation and customer comms. CurbSight covers the standard PM workflow most exterior contractors actually use day-to-day. ## When JobNimbus Is the Right Choice - You have mature workflow automation needs (multi-step approval flows, automated email sequences, complex stage gating). - You need direct EagleView and CompanyCam integrations. - You have heavy QuickBooks integration requirements. - You already have a steady lead flow and don't need lead generation. ## When CurbSight Is the Right Choice - You are a roofing, siding, windows, solar, HVAC, or exterior contractor. - Your biggest constraint is finding leads, not managing existing jobs. - You want federal storm data and public records driving your prospecting. - You want one tool for both lead-gen and core PM, instead of stacking JobNimbus + HomeAdvisor + Sales Rabbit. ## When You'd Run Both Some larger CurbSight customers use JobNimbus for advanced workflow automation and customer communications while using CurbSight for lead generation and scoring. CurbSight Enterprise includes API access so leads sourced in CurbSight can sync into JobNimbus as they convert. This pattern is common at the 75+ job/month scale. ## The Cost Comparison A typical 5-user roofing contractor stack: - JobNimbus (5 users): $250–$500/month - HomeAdvisor / Angi spend: $1,000–$5,000/month - Sales Rabbit or canvassing tool: $200–$400/month - **Total: ~$1,450–$5,900/month** Same contractor on CurbSight Pro: - CurbSight Pro: $1,500/month (scored leads, map, routes, PM) - **Total: $1,500/month** For most contractors, CurbSight Pro replaces the lead-gen and canvassing spend entirely. JobNimbus stays only if its specific workflow features are load-bearing for your operation. ## The Storm Season Advantage JobNimbus has no NOAA integration. After a major hail event, JobNimbus tells you nothing about which properties were under the storm. CurbSight re-scores every property in the affected radius within hours of the NOAA event publishing — so your team is on the right blocks while out-of-state storm chasers are still loading their trucks. ## Try CurbSight Request a free sample territory at [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io). ## See Also - [CurbSight vs AccuLynx](./curbsight-vs-acculynx.md) - [CurbSight vs Jobber](./curbsight-vs-jobber.md) - [Lead Generation for Roofing Companies](../use-cases/roofing.md) - [Project Management Feature](../features/project-management.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) --- # CurbSight vs HomeAdvisor (Angi) HomeAdvisor (now part of Angi) is a lead marketplace that sells contractor leads from homeowners who fill out service-request forms. CurbSight is a property intelligence platform that finds you the leads in the first place — without the marketplace, without the bidding, and without sharing each lead with three other contractors. Here is the honest comparison. ## What Each Tool Is Built For **HomeAdvisor / Angi:** A lead marketplace. Homeowners fill out a request form ("I need a new roof"). HomeAdvisor sells that request to multiple contractors, typically 3–4 per lead. You pay per lead, $30–$200 each depending on category and market. **CurbSight:** A property intelligence platform. You enter a zip code; CurbSight scores every property in that area using public records, NOAA storm data, and satellite imagery. Every property is yours, ranked by how likely it is to need work. No bidding, no per-lead fees. ## The Lead Ownership Question This is the central difference. | | HomeAdvisor | CurbSight | |---|---|---| | Who else has this lead? | 3–4 other contractors | Nobody | | How fresh is the lead? | Already comparison-shopping | Pre-discovery | | Per-lead cost | $30–$200 | $0 | | Monthly cost | Variable (lead-volume-based) | Flat $500–$5,000 | | Lead source | Homeowner self-submitted | Public records + storm data | | Sales motion | Reactive (call before competitors) | Proactive (educate before they shop) | ## The Conversion Math A typical HomeAdvisor / Angi roofing lead: - Cost: $80 - Sold to: 4 contractors - Your statistical close rate: 5–15% (because you're competing) - Fully-loaded cost per acquired customer: $530–$1,600 A CurbSight Pro plan with 10 territories: - Cost: $1,500/month flat - Properties scored: ~25,000 - Top-scored leads (85+): typically 200–400/month - Cost per scored, owned lead: $4–$8 - Close rate from owned proactive prospecting: typically 10–25% - Fully-loaded cost per acquired customer: $20–$80 The 10–50x cost-per-acquisition difference is why most CurbSight customers cancel their HomeAdvisor spend within 90 days. ## When HomeAdvisor Is the Right Choice - You need same-week leads with no setup time. - You operate in a category where proactive prospecting doesn't work well (emergency plumbing, urgent repairs). - You have unusually fast inside sales follow-up (under 5 minutes from lead receipt) and can win the response race. ## When CurbSight Is the Right Choice - You sell roofing, siding, windows, solar, HVAC, gutters, or painting. - You'd rather pay flat than pay per lead. - You want owned leads, not shared leads. - You operate in a hail-prone region (NOAA data is a structural advantage). - You door-knock or canvass, or want to. - You want sustainable lead-gen economics that don't get worse as you grow. ## What You're Actually Buying A HomeAdvisor lead is a *moment* — a homeowner's intent at the second they filled out the form. By the time you call, that moment has often passed. A CurbSight property is a *fact* — the home was built in 1968, has original siding, was under 2.5" hail in April, and the owner has lived there for 23 years. Those facts are stable. You can knock on Tuesday or Friday and the property is still a candidate. Owned, durable leads beat rented, perishable leads at every scale we've measured. ## The Storm Season Advantage HomeAdvisor has no concept of storm seasonality. The same generic "need a new roof" form is sold whether there was a hailstorm last week or not. CurbSight's NOAA integration means after a major hail event, your top-scored leads automatically reweight toward the affected area. You're working the right blocks within 72 hours — without paying $80 per shared lead to do it. ## Migration Path Most contractors moving from HomeAdvisor to CurbSight follow this path: 1. **Month 1:** Sign up for CurbSight Starter or Pro. Build your first 3–10 territories. Cap (don't cancel) HomeAdvisor spend at current level. 2. **Month 2:** Run the CurbSight scored leads in parallel with HomeAdvisor. Track close rate and cost per acquired customer on each. 3. **Month 3:** If CurbSight outperforms (it almost always does), reduce HomeAdvisor spend by 50%. 4. **Month 4–6:** Phase out HomeAdvisor entirely. Reallocate the freed budget to expanding CurbSight territories. ## Try CurbSight Request a free sample territory at [curbsight.io](https://curbsight.io). We will load one of your existing service zip codes into the platform, score the properties, and walk you through the dashboard on a 30-minute call. You can compare the cost-per-lead math against your current HomeAdvisor spend immediately. ## See Also - [CurbSight vs Sales Rabbit](./curbsight-vs-sales-rabbit.md) - [CurbSight vs Jobber](./curbsight-vs-jobber.md) - [Lead Generation for Roofing Companies](../use-cases/roofing.md) - [Pricing](../pricing.md) ---
