A roofing canvassing app for the doors you work
A knock is easy to remember while you're standing on the porch. The details are harder to find at the end of a long day. Which homeowner asked you to return? Which address needs an inspection? Which street did you finish?
StormLens puts door pins and a prospect list alongside a hail map. Start with the basics on the free plan, then add Pro when your work calls for saved lists, routes and sales team tracking. The free plan needs no credit card.
Give every door a place in your prospect list
Drop a door pin and use one of six statuses to record where that prospect stands. The prospect list gives you another way to review the doors you've saved, away from the map.
Before starting a neighborhood, decide what each status means for your own work. Use it consistently after each visit. That makes the list useful when you're deciding what to do next, rather than leaving you to remember a row of colored pins.
A useful door knocking app should help with the second visit as well as the first. Review your saved prospects before heading out. Keep the next conversation focused on that property instead of starting the same introduction again.
Check the storm context before choosing a street
The free plan includes the hail map and address search. Use the map to look at a storm's estimated footprint, then search the address you want to work.
StormLens uses NOAA radar estimates from MRMS MESH and NCEI SWDI. Those estimates indicate where hail likely fell and its estimated size. They do not tell you whether a particular roof is damaged. Only an on-site inspection establishes that.
Keep that distinction in your doorstep conversation. A map can explain why you're in the neighborhood. It should not become a claim that the homeowner needs a roof replacement before you've inspected anything.
Organize repeat visits with Pro
Once your prospect list grows, you may need more than six standard statuses. Pro adds custom statuses and tags, so you can describe the stages and details your business actually uses.
Saved lists help organize the doors you want to work together. Routes help plan the visits. Territories give a sales team defined areas to work. These are Pro features; you do not need them to begin recording your own doors on the free plan.
For a manager, rep goals, timelines and a leaderboard provide ways to review activity. Use that review to ask useful questions about follow-up and appointment quality. A count of doors is one part of a sales conversation, not a promise of revenue.
Bring a branded report when the property needs one
The free plan includes your company name and logo on storm reports, plus 3 report credits after phone verification. One credit unlocks one property.
Additional credits cost $9.99 for 1, $44.99 for 5 or $79.99 for 10. Pro includes unlimited storm reports and full property hail history. A report gives you weather context to discuss alongside the inspection, rather than replacing what you find on the roof.
Pro costs $49.99 per user per month or $499.99 per user per year. It also includes storm alerts and the web app. Start with the tools you need for today's doors, and choose Pro when its added features fit the way you work.
