Quick Answer

To run door-to-door roofing sales with Roof Manager: draw a territory on the map, assign reps, knock and log each door with one tap (Not Home, Follow-Up, Appointment, Sold), measure any roof on the porch in under 60 seconds, and book inspections directly onto your calendar. Reps who measure on the porch book 2.4× more inspections than reps who say "I'll email you later".

Door-to-door is still the highest-ROI channel in roofing — if (and only if) reps are knocking the right streets, logging every conversation, and handing warm leads to ops without paper slipping through the cracks. Roof Manager's D2D module gives every rep a live map, measurement on tap, and a one-tap path from "Not Home" to signed proposal.

1

Define your territory

Open the D2D dashboard and draw a polygon around the neighbourhood you're canvassing, or select by postal code. Assign reps to specific territories so no one overlaps and every street gets covered.

2

Load storm or age data (optional)

For storm-chase campaigns, overlay the hail swath from your weather feed. For retail, import tax-roll or parcel age data and filter for roofs 18+ years old — these convert 3× better than cold blocks.

3

Knock and log in one tap

Every rep has the mobile app open on their phone. Each pin turns into a disposition in one tap: Not Home, Follow-Up, Appointment, Sold, Not Interested. Pins change colour so the rep never re-knocks the same house.

4

Measure on the porch

Homeowner opens the door? While you're introducing yourself, tap "Measure this roof" — you'll have total area, pitch, and a rough material list in under 60 seconds. Show them the satellite trace on your phone. This alone closes appointments.

Pro tip: Reps who measure on the porch book 2.4× more inspections than reps who say "I'll email you later."
5

Book the inspection on the spot

Tap "Book Appointment" — the homeowner sees your live calendar and picks a slot. It syncs to your Google/Outlook calendar automatically and creates a Pipeline card in the CRM.

6

Hand off cleanly to the closer

When the inspection happens, the closer walks up already knowing the roof area, age, damage notes, and the rep's conversation history. No lost sticky notes. No "who talked to this guy last Tuesday?"

7

Coach from the data

Manager dashboard shows per-rep knocks, contacts, appointments, and close rate in real time. Use it in your morning huddle — the reps who measure on the porch, book on the porch, and log every door win. The data proves it so you don't have to.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best app for door-to-door roofing sales?

Roof Manager's D2D module combines territory mapping, instant satellite measurements, disposition logging, and calendar booking in one mobile app — purpose-built for roofers rather than a generic CRM.

Can I measure a roof from a homeowner's porch?

Yes. Tap "Measure this roof" on your phone and you get total area, pitch, and a rough material list in under 60 seconds, straight from satellite imagery. No drone, no ladder.

How do I stop reps from double-knocking the same house?

Every door pin changes colour based on its disposition. Reps see in real time which houses have already been knocked by teammates, so no street gets hit twice.

Can Roof Manager overlay hail storm data on the map?

Yes. Import hail swaths from your weather feed or the Storm Scout module and only knock confirmed impact zones — the highest-converting leads in roofing.

How does the hand-off from canvasser to closer work?

When a rep books an appointment, a Pipeline card is created automatically with the address, roof measurements, photos, disposition history, and notes. The closer walks up already fully briefed.
