Who this is for

Gutter & exterior trades

A roof replacement almost always breaks the existing gutter run. Orleans Parish issues roughly 1,200 residential re-roof permits a year — every one is a job nobody has bid.

Insurance agents

From January 1st, Louisiana Regulation 136 requires every property insurer to discount hurricane premium on FORTIFIED homes — up to 49% in the southern zone. A new roof is a homeowner about to shop.

Insulation & HVAC

When the deck is open or a system is being changed out, it's the cheapest moment to re-insulate. Nobody tells you it's happening.

Roofers

Not for the permit itself — that job is already sold. For the neighbours who watched a crew work for three days and haven't re-roofed since 2019.

How it works

  1. We pull the permitsStraight from the City of New Orleans open-data portal, the morning after the city posts them. Public record, every one.
  2. We throw most of them awayAbout 40% of raw roof permits aren't leads — public-housing filings, institutional owners, one contractor filing twenty permits for a single project. We drop those and flag investor-owned properties separately.
  3. We match what's left to your tradeA permit is a buying signal for the trades that come after it, not the one that pulled it.
  4. You get an emailAddress, neighbourhood, permit number, date, and the contractor on the job. That's it.

Where the data comes from

Every record we send is public information published by local government. Orleans Parish permits come from the City of New Orleans open-data portal (dataset rcm3-fn58); East Baton Rouge from the City of Baton Rouge portal (7fq7-8j7r). We don't buy lists, scrape private sites, or resell anyone's customer data.

One thing we ask of subscribers: property owner names are public record, but phone outreach is regulated. If you call, you are responsible for scrubbing against the Do Not Call registry first. Mail and door-knocking aren't restricted the same way.
