Roof leads,
six weeks
before they hit Angi.
PermitDrop turns yesterday’s public permit filings into today’s qualified roofing, solar, and HVAC leads. Cleaned, scored, delivered by territory.
You’re not buying leads. You’re paying for the privilege of being one of five callers.
Marketplaces sell the same homeowner to every contractor in the ZIP. By the time you call, she’s already pricing the job. We sell what those marketplaces can’t: the moment a project enters the public record.
Sold five times
Angi and HomeAdvisor sell the same homeowner inquiry to multiple contractors at once. You compete on speed-of-call, not fit.
Six weeks late
Marketplace leads come after a homeowner has decided to start. Permits come when they’re filed, often six weeks before the first quote request.
Tire-kickers mixed with $40k jobs
You can't tell a casual quote-shopper from a $40k re-roof until you're on the call. Permit value is published.
Address. Scope. Budget. County stamp.
A filed permit is a homeowner with a budget, an address, a scope, and a county-issued go-ahead. We classify it, score it, and put it on your weekly sheet.
Pick a trade, pick a metro. Real records, refreshed daily.
Every row links back to its public source. Nothing here is generated, illustrated, or made up — these are filings from the last 30 days.
One real permit, decomposed.
No black-box AI. We publish the rules. Every permit gets the same scoring formula. If you disagree with our scoring, you can re-rank by any column in the export.

Different trade. Different signal.
Roofers want recency and storm signals. Solar installers want competitor permit volume. HVAC contractors want replacement-window timing. We tune the feed to the buyer.
Storm work, replacement, reroof — by ZIP, by week.
Track residential roof permits the day they're filed. Score by recency, declared value, and storm/replacement language.

The questions every contractor asks first.
Is this just BuildZoom?
No. BuildZoom matches homeowners to contractors and uses permit history as proof. PermitDrop sells the raw, fresh permit feed to you, the contractor, so you can call those homeowners yourself.
How is this different from Angi?
Angi sells the same quote request to five contractors and they fight over speed. We sell public records; if you call the homeowner first, the lead is yours.
What about the homeowner — do they know I have their permit?
Permits are public records by law. You'd find them by walking into the city permit office. We just save you the drive.
What if your roofing classifier is wrong?
The score is a published formula. You can sort by any column in the CSV. We surface low-confidence classifications in the dashboard so your sales team can spot-check before calling.
When's Phoenix? Denver?
Both are next on the roadmap — they’re hail-belt and solar-belt respectively. Email benjamin@avalanlabs.co with your county and we’ll prioritize it.
What's covered today?
Austin (Travis), San Antonio (Bexar), and Fort Worth (Tarrant) — all three updated daily. New metros launching every two weeks.
