For roofers
How do roofers get leak and replacement jobs from local groups?
After a storm, homeowners post photos of missing shingles and wet ceilings in local groups. They want someone on the roof this week, not a marketplace form. SpotTheJob sends those posts to roofers by email or text about ten minutes after they go up.
Wind takes shingles. Ice dams stain the bedroom ceiling. They post a photo because they want a name tonight, and because insurance asked for an inspection.
First on the roof often writes the job
A lot of those leak calls turn into a full tear-off once you are standing in the driveway. Showing up in the first replies is how you get the look.
Replacement is not a $50 shared lead
Angi puts a typical replacement around $9,609, with asphalt shingles from $5,800 to $20,000.

You get the thread the homeowner is watching. Flat monthly in the hundreds, not thousands.

What a roofing alert looks like
Leaks and replacement quotes, the way they land.
“Leak after the last storm. Stain on the bedroom ceiling keeps growing. Need a roofer who can get on it this week, not next month.”
“Roof is 22 years old and we are starting to lose shingles on the back. Getting a few quotes. Looking for licensed and insured.”
“Insurance asked for a roof inspection after wind damage. Missing shingles on the front. Can anyone recommend a company that will actually show up?”

What you do when it hits
Reply on the thread and DM if you can. Offer an inspection window. Homeowners with a wet ceiling hire the roofer who can look at it, not the one with the longest brochure.
A suggested reply comes with the alert. You still put it on the original post.
Do roofing alerts spike after storms?
Yes. Groups fill with leak photos after wind and heavy rain. Those threads move fast because the homeowner is anxious and insurance may be involved. Showing up in the first replies is how you get the inspection, which is often how you get the replacement.
Are these small repairs or full replacements?
Both. Some posts are a few missing shingles. Some are a 22-year roof and a request for quotes. Angi puts replacements around $9,609 on average. We send the post. You decide after you look at it.
Is this a roofing lead marketplace?
No. This is not a roofing lead marketplace. You get the public post, matched to roofing and your towns, by email or text about ten minutes after it goes up. You reply on the original thread. Flat monthly price, not pay-per-lead.
Other trades we send
- HVACNo-heat and no-cool posts, plus replacement quotes, from homeowners who want someone who can come out, not a call center.
- Junk RemovalCouches, cleanouts, and construction debris from homeowners who need it gone this weekend, posted in the group while they are still watching replies.
- LandscapingWeekly mows and cleanups in season, plus snow removal when the lawn work slows down. Homeowners asking neighbors, not filling out a form.
